SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: El Camino 

Real de Tierra Adentro NHT ROD/CMP/

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 189 / Thursday, September 30, 2004 / Notices 58463

RMPA was developed with broad public 

participation through a two-year 

collaborative planning process. This 

ROD/CMP/RMPA addresses 

management along a 10-mile wide 

corridor crossing approximately 60 

miles of public land in the planning 

area. El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro 

NHT ROD/CMP/RMPA is designed to 

achieve or maintain desired future 

conditions developed through the 

planning process. It includes a series of 

management actions to meet the desired 

resource conditions for the historic trail 

route and trail resources, including the 

visual resources within the trail 

corridor, recreation opportunities 

associated with the trail and other uses, 

energy and minerals, land and realty 

uses, livestock grazing, vegetation, 

noxious weeds, soils, water, and air 

quality. 

The approved El Camino Real de 

Tierra Adentro NHT CMP/RMPA is 

essentially the same as the Preferred 

Alternative in the Proposed El Camino 

Real de Tierra Adentro NHT CMP/

RMPA/Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (PCMP/FEIS), published in 

April 2004. BLM received no protests to 

the PCMP/RMPA/FEIS. No 

inconsistencies with State or local 

plans, policies, or programs were 

identified during the Governor 

consistency review of the PCMP/RMPA/

FEIS. As a result, only minor editorial 

modifications were made in preparing 

the ROD/CMP/RMPA. These 

modifications corrected errors that were 

noted during review of the PCMP/

RMPA/FEIS and provide further 

clarification for some of the decisions.
