SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Approved Northwest California
Integrated RMP replaces the 1992 Arcata
RMP and 1993 Redding RMP. The
Northwest California planning area
covers approximately 382,200 acres of
public land and approximately an
additional 295,100 subsurface acres of
Federal mineral estate in Mendocino,
Humboldt, Del Norte, Siskiyou, Trinity,
Shasta, Tehama, and Butte counties.
Separate management plans guide BLM
management for National Monuments,
National Conservation Areas, and
similar designations within the
planning area.
Other non-BLM-administered lands
within the planning area include the Six
Rivers, Shasta-Trinity, Klamath, Lassen,
Plumas, and Mendocino National
Forests; Lassen Volcanic and Redwoods
National Parks; the Whiskeytown and
Smith River National Recreation Areas;
the Sacramento Castle Rock and
Humboldt Bay National Wildlife
Refuges; and Black Butte Lake (managed
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers).
Tribal lands and reservations for 31
federally recognized Native American
Tribes fall within the planning area and
the BLM-administered lands include
ancestral territories, sacred sites,
gathering areas, and other places
important to Tribes. The Bureau of
Reclamation manages numerous land
holdings and facilities within the
planning area, including six
hydroelectric dams and lands that are
co-managed with the BLM under a
memorandum of agreement with the
Redding Field Office near the Shasta
Dam and Keswick Reservoir. In addition
to federally managed lands, there are an
extensive number of State of Californiamanaged beaches, parks, wildlife areas,
and recreation areas in the planning
area. The Arcata Field Office and
Redding Field Office have taken these
non-BLM-administered lands into
account in this planning effort.
The Approved RMP balances resource
use among competing human interests,
land uses, and the conservation of
natural and cultural resource values,
while sustaining and enhancing
ecological integrity across the
landscape, including plant, wildlife,
and fish habitat. The plan has varied
landscapes with distinct management,
and it incorporates a balanced level of

Jkt 265001
protection, restoration, and
enhancement, as well as the use of
resources and services to meet ongoing
programs and land uses with an
emphasis on local community visions
for the future of public lands.
Through this collaborative planning
effort, the Approved RMP describes the
actions and management to guide future
management and meet desired resource
conditions. The preferred alternative for
the Proposed RMP was carried forward
into the Approved RMP with minor
modifications. Notably, the management
direction for the Sacramento River Bend
Area of Critical Environmental Concern
was updated, eliminating the need for
BLM Authorized Officer approval for
wildfire suppression actions related to
life or private property. Additionally,
the plan now recognizes recent changes
in a community wildfire protection plan
and emphasizes the importance of
considering municipal plans during
implementation.
The BLM provided the Proposed
RMP/Final EIS for a 30-day public
protest starting on June 21, 2024, and
received six protest letters. The BLM
Director resolved all protests. Responses
to protest issues were compiled and
documented in a Protest Resolution
Report (see ADDRESSES). No changes to
the Northwest California Integrated
Resource Management Plan Proposed
RMP/EIS were necessary as a result of
protests.
The BLM provided the Proposed
RMP/Final EIS to the Governor of
California for a 60-day Governor’s
consistency review on June 21, 2024. No
inconsistencies with state or local plans,
policies or programs were identified
during the Governor’s consistency
review of the Proposed RMP/Final EIS.
No changes to the Northwest California
Integrated Resource Management Plan
Proposed RMP/EIS were necessary as a
result of the Governor’s consistency
review.

The proposed Stipulated Order would
resolve all remaining claims of the
United States, on behalf of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’), and those of PlaintiffIntervenor Sierra Club, against Ameren
Missouri (‘‘Ameren’’), regarding Clean
Air Act violations at the utility’s Rush
Island coal-fired power plant in Festus,
Missouri.
Under the proposed Stipulated Order,
Ameren will implement two primary
mitigation projects:
(1) A project to support the
distribution of stand-alone HEPA
purifier devices to residential customers
within Ameren’s service territory
located predominantly in Eastern
Missouri, prioritizing distribution to
low-income households, and
(2) A project to promote the transition
to electric school buses for schools in
the St. Louis metropolitan and
surrounding areas with the charging
stations necessary to support these
vehicles.
In the event certain benchmarks are
not met when implementing the HEPA
purifier and electric school bus
programs, Ameren will complete a third
mitigation project—administering funds
for the purpose of implementing
weatherization and energy efficiency
upgrades that will reduce energy
consumption by residential buildings in
Ameren’s service area.

a period for public comment on the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
standard requires employers to monitor
employee exposure to methylene
chloride (MC), to provide medical
consultation and examinations, to train
employees about the hazards of MC in
their working areas, and to establish and
maintain records of employee exposure
to MC. These records will be used by
employers, employees, physicians and
the Government to ensure that
employees are not being harmed by
exposure to MC. Appendix B to section
1910.1052 contains medical
surveillance questionnaire forms for
workers that may be exposed to
methylene chloride. Based on the

epidemiologic studies previously
mentioned, OSHA concludes that
Methylene Chloride is a suspect human
carcinogen. The medical surveillance
program is designed to observe exposed
workers on a regular basis. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
