SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document provides notice that the BLM 

Field Office, Burley Idaho, intends to 

prepare an RMP Amendment with an 

associated EA for the Cassia and 

Monument RMPs, announces the 

beginning of the the scoping process, 

and is seeking public input on issues 

and planning criteria. The planning area 

is located in Cassia and Power Counties, 

Idaho and encompasses approximately 

1,556 acres of public land. The purpose 

of the public scoping process is to 

determine relevant issues that will 

influence the scope of the 

environmental analysis, including 

alternatives, and guide the planning 

process. The BLM has identified the 

following preliminary issues: the 

potential for damage to cultural 

resources within the American Falls 

Archeological District at Cedar Fields 

from rock climbing and other 

recreational activities; potential adverse 

affects on Historic Properties at Castle 

Rocks from rock climbing and other 

recreational activities; and the impact 

that closures to certain activities would 

have on recreational climbing in the 

area. 

At Cedar Fields, ongoing climbing 

activities have the potential to damage 

cultural resources located within an 

Archeological District. In 2010, the BLM 

prepared an EA to address similar 

concerns at Castle Rocks. The proposed 

action within the Castle Rocks EA 

would have allowed limited climbing 

and trail construction. However, due to 

potential adverse cumulative effects of 

rock climbing activities on Historic 

Properties (as defined in 36 CFR 

800.5(a)(1) and 800.16(l)(1)), a Finding 

of No Significant Impact (FONSI) could 

not be reached for the Castle Rocks EA 

(EA ID–220–2009–EA–3768). The EA 

was finalized on March 29, 2010, sent 

out to interested members of the public, 

and posted to the BLM Idaho Web site. 

Subsequently, a temporary closure 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register in November 2010, which 

closed BLM-managed lands in the Castle 

Rocks Inter-Agency Recreation Area to 

climbing, staging, camping, and 

construction of new trails. This closure 

will remain in effect until November 16, 

2012. 

The RMP Amendment and associated 

EA will consider the permanent 

designation of no climbing, no staging, 

no camping, and no construction of new 

trails on BLM-managed lands at Castle 

Rocks Inter-Agency Recreation Area and 

at Cedar Fields. If a closure is necessary 

to protect Historic Properties at Castle 

Rocks and cultural resources in the 

Archeological District at Cedar Fields, 

the BLM will make a decision about 

whether to amend the Cassia and 

Monument RMPs and will address 

allowable uses of resources, and 

intensity and limits of use. 

You may submit comments on issues 

and planning criteria for the Plan 

Amendments in writing to the BLM at 

any public scoping meeting, or you may 

submit them to the BLM using one of 

the methods listed in the ADDRESSES

section above. To be most helpful, you 

should submit comments by the close of 

the 30-day scoping period or within 30 

days after the last public meeting, 

whichever is later. Before including 

your address, phone number, e-mail 

address, or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

The BLM will use an interdisciplinary 

approach to develop the plan in order 

to consider the variety of resource issues 

and concerns identified. Specialists 

with expertise in the following 

disciplines will be involved in the 

planning process: minerals and geology, 

outdoor recreation, archaeology, 

wildlife, and soils.
