WHEREAS, such order set a deadline of March 8, 2007 for the parties to conclude 

negotiations regarding proposals to supplement the Administrative Record. 

WHEREAS, according to this Stipulation, Federal Defendants and Plaintiffs have agreed, on 

certain terms, to supplement the record with various materials submitted by Plaintiffs, certain other 

documents or information regarding documents previously identified by Federal Defendants as 

privileged, as well as certain evidence admitted by this Court in the related action Natural Resources 

Defense Council, et al. v. Norton, et al. (No. 1:05-CV-01207); 

WHEREAS, under Federal Defendants’ and Plaintiffs’ March 22, 2007 Stipulation regarding 

the Administrative Record, Federal Defendants have agreed, on or before March 30, 2007, to provide 

to the parties an index of all supplements to the Administrative Record, as well as certain redactions 

and additional information regarding the materials previously identified by Federal Defendants as 

privileged; 

WHEREAS, under said Stipulation, Federal Defendants have agreed to provide the parties 

copies of the subject documents by April 16, 2007; 

WHEREAS, Defendant-Intervenors shall not, therefore, in advance of the originally 

scheduled April 5, 2007 deadline for responses to any motion to supplement the administrative 

record, have had an opportunity to review any of the materials referenced in Federal-Defendants’ and 

Plaintiffs’ Stipulation, with the exception of those materials previously admitted by this Court in the 

related action Natural Resources Defense Council, et al. v. Norton, et al. (No. 1:05-CV-01207); 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and among the parties, through their 

respective counsel, that the current April 5, 2007 deadline for Defendant-Intervenors to file any 

responses to Federal Defendants’ and Plaintiffs’ March 22, 2007 Stipulation regarding the 

Administrative Record be postponed until April 27, 2007, and the remaining briefing schedule be
