SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intact 

sagebrush communities are 

disappearing within the Great Basin due 

to the interactions of increased 

wildfires, the spread of invasive annual 

grasses, and the encroachement of 

pinyon-juniper. Fuels reduction 

treatments and rangeland restoration 

treatments are needed to increase intact 

sagebrush communities and improve 

their ability to resist annual grass 

invasion and recover from disturbance 

such as wildfire. Functioning and viable 

sagebrush communities provide 

multiple-use opportunities for all user 

groups as well as habitat for sagebrushdependent species. 

The Programmatic EIS analzyes the 

environmental effects of fuels reduction 

projects, invasive species treatments, 

and vegetation restoration work within 

sagebrush communities. The preferred 

alternative (Alternative B) analyzes a 

full suite of manual, chemical and 

mechanical treatments, including 

prescribed fire, seeding, and targeted 

grazing, in order to restore degraded 

vegetative communities within the 38.5 

million-acre sagebrush analysis area. 

The preferred alternative provides a 

framework under which BLM offices 

may work to develop site-specific fuels 

reduction and rangeland restoration 

treatments within the project area. 

The NOA for the Draft Programmatic 

EIS published on April 3, 2020, 

initiating a 60-day public comment 

period. The BLM hosted a virtual public 

meeting website to share information 

about the proposed project and 

alternatives and to answer questions. 

The public was able to comment online 

through ePlanning, through the virtual 

public meeting website, via a project 

email address, or by postal mail. The 

BLM received 1,270 comment form 

letters and 144 unique comment letters. 

Comments on the Draft Programmatic 

EIS received from the public and 

internal BLM review were considered 

and incorporated as appropriate into the 

Final Programmatic EIS. Public 

comments resulted in the addition of 

clarifying text, but did not significantly 

change the alternatives or analysis.
