lands since the 2007 INRMP was implemented, and efforts related to the management of natural and cultural
resources and environmental remediation of the lands during the previous five years.

Two public meetings are scheduled to familiarize the public with progress made in the management of natural resources since completion of the 2007 INRMP, to seek review and input on the Public Report to guide development of the INRMP update, and to share information about projects planned to support natural resource management during the next five years. The meeting scheduled for 17 July 2012 in Yuma,
Arizona will focus on BMGR West and a second meeting focused on BMGR East is scheduled for 18 July 2012 in Gila Bend, Arizona. Public meetings will be announced in the following Arizona

newspapers: Yuma Sun, West Valley

View (Glendale), the Gila Bend Sun, Arizona Daily Star (Tucson), and the Ajo Copper News. Federal, state, and local agencies; Native American tribes;
and interested individuals are encouraged to take these opportunities to participate in the INRMP update

process.

The Public Report can be accessed from the following Web sites: http:// www.luke.af.mil/library/factsheets/ factsheet.asp?id=5028 http:// www.yuma.usmc.mil/range/.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The
BMGR was established in 1941 and continues to be used by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps, and other Department of Defense components, primarily to train military aircrews to fly air combat missions. Encompassing
more than 1.7 million acres of land in southwest Arizona, the BMGR is also nationally significant as a critical component in the largest remaining tract of relatively unfragmented and
undisturbed Sonoran Desert in the
United States.

In October 1999, Congress reconfirmed the nation’s continuing need for the BMGR by passing the
MLWA. This Act extended authorization for the BMGR as a military reservation for 25 years until 2024 and provided that the Secretaries of the Air Force, Navy, and Interior were to jointly prepare an INRMP for the range. As prescribed by the MLWA, the INRMP must include provisions for the proper management and protection of the
natural and cultural resources of the BMGR, and for sustainable use by the public of such resources to the extent consistent with the military purposes of the range.

The MLWA assigned natural and cultural resource management authority
for the BMGR to the Secretaries of the Air Force and the Navy for the east and west range lands, respectively. Thereafter, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was prepared—in
coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (led by the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge), Arizona Game and Fish Department, and Bureau of Land Management (BLM)—to evaluate alternative methods to manage the natural resources and, where applicable, public use of the BMGR. The management decisions
made based on the EIS and Record of Decision were used to develop the
INRMP that was finalized in March

2007.

The MLWA also provided that the INRMP be prepared and implemented in
accordance with the Sikes Act. The
Sikes Act sets forth the Nation’s resource management policies and guidance for U.S. military installations and requires the preparation of INRMPs for all installations with significant
natural resources. The Sikes Act provides that the Secretary of Defense shall carry out a program to provide for
the conservation and rehabilitation of
natural resources that is consistent with the use of military installations to ensure the preparedness of the Armed Forces. The INRMP programs are to provide for (a) the conservation and
rehabilitation of natural resources on military installations; (b) the sustainable multipurpose use of the resources, which shall include hunting, fishing, trapping and non-consumptive uses; and (c) public access to facilitate use, subject to safety requirements and military security.

The MLWA also mandates preparation of the aforementioned Public Report concurrent with each INRMP review cycle. The Public Report includes a summary of current military use of the lands, any changes in military use of the lands since the previous report, and efforts related to the management of natural and cultural
resources and environmental remediation of the lands during the previous five years. Interested members of the public are invited to review and comment on the report. Public meetings are planned to facilitate that review and provide a forum for public input. The Public Report is available for review on the following Web sites: http:// www.luke.af.mil/library/factsheets/ factsheet.asp?id=5028 and http:// www.yuma.usmc.mil/range/.
