Area of Critical Environmental Concern On September 22, 2020, the BLM received a nomination from the public to designate an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) consisting of approximately 58,000 acres in the Cactus Springs area. The nominated ACEC overlaps the entire project area. In this Draft RMP Amendment/EIS, the BLM is not considering the ACEC nomination because designation of ACECs is not within the scope of the current planning process. Consistent with policy (HQ IM 2023–013), the BLM has prepared a relevance and importance values report for the nominated ACEC area and determined that special management attention is needed. The BLM has provided temporary management and implementation actions to protect values in the area, which have been incorporated into the BLM Preferred Alternative. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 The BLM will provide additional opportunities for public participation consistent with the NEPA and land use planning processes, including a 30-day public protest period and a 60-day Governor’s consistency review of the Proposed RMP Amendment.
