the landscape scale.
The BLM will utilize and coordinate
the NEPA and land use planning
processes for this planning effort to help
support compliance with applicable
procedural requirements under the
Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C.
1536) and section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C.
306108) as provided in 36 CFR
800.2(d)(3), including public
involvement requirements of section
106. The information about historic and
cultural resources and threatened and
endangered species within the area
potentially affected by the proposed
monument management plan and land
use plan amendment will assist the
BLM in identifying and evaluating
impacts to such resources.
The BLM will consult with Tribal
Nations on a government-to-government
basis in accordance with Executive
Order 13175, BLM MS 1780, and other
Departmental policies. Tribal concerns,
including impacts on Indian trust assets
and potential impacts to cultural
resources, will be given due
consideration. Federal, State, and local
agencies, along with Tribes and
stakeholders that may be interested in or
affected by the BLM’s proposed MTNM
Management Plan and CDCA land use
plan amendment are invited to
participate in the scoping process and,
if eligible, may request or be requested
by the BLM to participate in the
development of the environmental
analysis as a cooperating agency.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment

information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
