‘Land Use Planning Process’ and ‘Travel and 

Transportation Management’ Relationship 

Pre-plan Analysis: Identify 

Issues

Identify issues or land use problems 

that need to be resolved.

Pre-plan Analysis: Develop 

Planning Criteria

Planning criteria establishes 

constraints and guides the planning 

process; set the scope of inventory 

and data collection. Preliminary 

planning criteria developed by the 

BLM can be modified through public 

comment.

•Determine if the existing travel and 

transportation systems are meeting 

current and future needs, such as 

access and resource needs. 

•Decide on the components (such as 

roads, primitive roads, and trails) of the 

travel and transportation system, which 

are needed for access.

•Identify areas for permanent closure.

Begin compiling an administrative record 

related to travel and transportation 

management.

Determine the level of data and 

information needed for all types of 

travel and transportation, including 

OHV area designations and motorized 

and non-motorized road, primitive 

road, and trail selections.

Realize the legal constraints which 

impact the decision space.

2 of 4

‘Land Use Planning Process’ and ‘Travel and 

Transportation Management’ Relationship 

Address how the RMP can be responsive 

to conflicts of transportation and access 

on other resource values and uses. 

Identify current condition and determine 

type and extend of use:

•Who is using the current transportation 

system?

•Is it meeting public & administrative 

access needs, and protecting resource 

values?

•What are the indicators, trends, 

demands, risks, forecasts & 

opportunities concerning travel and 

transportation management?

Scoping

This is the start of the formal NEPA 

process inviting the public to 

identify issues or land use 

problems, which need to be 

resolved.

Solicit ideas through mailings, 

newspaper articles, public 

meetings, and workshops. 

Gather, screen and evaluate ideas 

from public, private and internal 

sources. 

Summarize issues to guide planning 

process.

Collect Inventory Data

Collect inventory data based on the 

planning criteria. Data are generally 

collected from existing sources. New 

data collection is limited to what is 

needed to resolve the planning 

issues identified.

Analyze the Management 

Situation (AMS)

Gather information on current 

management situation. This analysis 

provides a reference for developing 

and evaluating alternatives.

Engage internal and external 

partners/stakeholders in identifying 

issues, problems and opportunities 

related to OHV, transportation and 

access, and travel management.

Solicit the public for specific OHV, travel 

and transportation and access 

information, ideas and concerns.

Identify existing OHV, travel and 

transportation data.

Determine if additional data needs 

should be addressed from issues that 

were raised during scoping.

Prepare preliminary map of OHV area 

designations and existing roads, 

primitive roads, trails (both motorized 

and non-motorized) and access points.

Collect a baseline inventory of roads, 

primitive roads, and trails.

Appendix B: BLM Land Use Planning Relationship to Travel Management Planning 3

3 of 4

‘Land Use Planning Process’ and ‘Travel and 

Transportation Management’ Relationship 

Analyze the impacts of travel and 

transportation on other resource values and 

uses.

Resolve conflicts prior to selection of the 

preferred alternative. Proposed RMP 

decisions should not inherently conflict with 

other resource values, i.e., there should not 

be an open OHV area overlaying T&ES 

habitat.

Formulate Alternatives

Identify a range of reasonable 

combinations of resource uses and 

management practices. Develop 

reasonable alternatives that address 

issues identified during scoping and 

offer a distinct choice among 

management strategies. Include no 

action alternative.

Estimate Effects of Alternative

Collect inventory data based on the 

planning criteria. Data are generally 

collected from existing sources. New 

data collection (i.e., inventory) is 

limited to what is needed to resolve 

the planning issues identified.

Select the Preferred Alternative

The Field Manager recommends to 

the State Director a preferred 

alternative that best resolves 

planning issues and promotes 

balanced multiple use objectives. 

The State Director approves 

selection of preferred alternative 

along with other alternatives under 

consideration.

•Delineate travel management areas that 

meet the land use plan objectives for each 

alternative. 

•Use “limited” OHV designation as the default 

designation for motorized travel.

•Document rationale for an open or closed 

designation & determine criteria for selecting 

specific routes within areas where any form of 

travel and access is “limited”.

•Transportation alternatives should analyze 

closures and seasonal (and other types of 

restrictions).

These steps are implementation 

decisions & can be completed as part of 

the RMP or deferred to a separate travel 

or activity plan.

•Select roads, primitive roads, and trails 

available for motorized use, within ‘Limited to 

Designated’ roads and trails areas.

•Determine which non-motorized trails are 

open for use.

•Quantify impacts (long/short term, 

direct/indirect, and cumulative effects) of 

each alternative on public and administrative 

access.

•Address impacts of implementing & 

managing travel and transportation systems 

(including costs & time) for each alternative.

‘Land Use Planning Process’ and ‘Travel and 

Transportation Management’ Relationship 

•Monitor for social and physical impacts 

related to travel and transportation 

management.

•Use monitoring data to support 

management decisions.

•Consider adaptive management.

Issue Draft RMP/EIS

Publish the Notice of Availability 

(NOA) in the Federal Register, 

media, mailings, etc. The NOA 

notifies the public of the availability 

of the Draft RMP/EIS and provides 

for a 90-day public review and 

comment period.

Plan Approval

Once protest have been resolved 

and the Governor’s consistency 

review has been completed, the 

State Director approves the RMP by 

signing the record of decision (ROD).

Monitor & Evaluate the RMP

Ensure that the plan is continually 

monitored and evaluated until it is 

replaced.

Attach more detailed travel and 

transportation management information 

to the Draft RMP as an appendix.

Analyze comments related to travel 

management and transportation 

management and access. Did the public 

provide any comments or new 

information that should be added to the 

baseline inventory and/or would change 

proposed decisions?

•Once the plan is approved, begin 

implementation of travel and 

transportation management decisions.

•Enter information as required for all 

selected roads, primitive roads, and 

trails into FAMS.

•Produce map of travel and 

transportation network for public.

•Enter information containing (acres 

designated open, limited and closed) 

OHV area designations into RMIS.

Issue Proposed RMP/EIS

Evaluate comments and make any 

modifications needed. Publish a 

second NOA and file a copy of the 

proposed RMP/Final EIS with the 

EPA. This initiates the 30-day 

protest period under 43 CFR 

1610.5-2.

Appendix D: Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) and the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) 1

Prior to statehood, nearly all land in Alaska was federally-owned. The 1959 Alaska Statehood Act granted 

the State selection of 104 million acres of federal land. Much of the land selected for State ownership, 

consisted of lands traditionally used by Alaska Natives. Contention and several lawsuits arose as a result. 

This situation finally led to broad Alaska Native community objections and resulted in a freeze on further 

state land selections until Congress could settle the Native claim issues.

In 1971 Congress passed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), a fundamental purpose 

of which was resolution of Native land claims. ANCSA provides for the conveyance of approximately 44 

million acres of public land to the Native Corporations. ANCSA section 17(b) provided for the reservation 

of public easements across lands conveyed to Native corporations to provide access to public lands. 

In 1980, Congress enacted the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), which 

created 21 new conservation system units, designated 3210 miles of wild and scenic rivers and 57 million 

acres of Wilderness Areas, and expanded 12 existing parks and refuges, influencing over 157 million acres 

in Alaska. 

The federal land management agencies involved in this LRTP recognize the importance of ANILCA and 

carefully consider the Act in addressing access issues in this, and subsequent transportation plans. The full 

text of ANILCA Title VIII, XI, XIII, and ANCSA Section 17(b) are as follows:

Selected Access Provisions of

Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) 

ANILCA Title VIII - Subsistence Management and Use

Access for Subsistence Uses

Section 811(a) The Secretary [of the Interior] shall ensure that rural residents engaged in subsistence 

uses shall have reasonable access to subsistence resources on the public lands. 

811(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this act or other law, the Secretary shall permit on the 

public lands appropriate use for subsistence purposes of snowmobiles, motorboats, and other means of 

surface transportation traditionally employed for such purposes by local residents, subject to reasonable 

regulation.” (emphasis added)

Subsistence access pursuant to ANILCA Section 811 is generally considered “open until closed” and 

limitations to access that may significantly restrict subsistence uses or cause substantial interference with 

access to subsistence sites will require compliance with the procedural requirements of ANILCA Section 

810 Subsistence and Land Use Decisions.

Ideally subsistence uses, or lack thereof, and a history of traditionally employed surface transportation and 

routes will have been tentatively identified during creation of an RMP or in subsequent step down plans. 

This includes:

• Identifying subsistence uses (including hunting, fishing, trapping, berry picking, gathering and 

cutting firewood, and gathering other plant materials)

• Identifying traditional modes of access for these subsistence activities

• Addressing shifting subsistence resources may necessitate adjustments in the BLM 

transportation network
Bureau of Land Management Alaska Long Range Transportation Plan 

2 Appendix D: Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) and the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA)

• Identifying reason(s) for closures (i.e. is causing an adverse impact on public health and safety; 

for resource protection; to protect historic or scientific values; subsistence uses; or other 

purposes or values for which the areas or units were created; or the conservation of endangered 

or threatened species) 

Current use of OHVs for subsistence purposes does not necessarily equate to their having been 

traditionally employed, or that their current use is appropriate. If a restriction to access is going to be 

based on the fact that the access methodology is not traditional, it would be necessary to first document 

subsistence uses and traditional modes of access that was generally occurring at the passage of 

ANILCA. However, if specific, contemporary resource impacts are occurring, it is not necessary to first 

document traditional modes of access prior to imposing restrictions on OHV use. 

If a restriction, limitation, or closure may significantly restrict subsistence uses, BLM will need to 

evaluate impacts on subsistence use as directed by BLM’s Section 810 Compliance Policy. First, there 

must be a finding of whether or not the proposed action may have a significant restriction on subsistence 

uses. If there is a positive finding, a notice and public hearing, and a final determination are required 

before any significant restriction or closure can be implemented. 

ANILCA Title XI – Transportation and Utility Systems In and Across, and Access Into, 

Conservation System Units

Special Access and Access to Inholdings

Sections 1110(a) & (b) applies to current and future conservation system units (wild and scenic rivers, 

wilderness areas, congressionally designated national trails), national recreation areas, and national 

conservation areas.

Section 1110(a) provides for the “use of snowmachines (during periods of adequate snow cover, or frozen 

river conditions in the case of wild and scenic rivers), motorboats, airplanes, and nonmotorized surface 

transportation methods for traditional activities... and for travel to and from villages and homesites....

subject to reasonable regulation.” Closures and restrictions cannot be implemented without notice and 

hearing, and a finding that such use would be detrimental to the resource values of the unit or area (see 

Department of Interior (DOI) regulations at 43 CFR 36.11). 

Section 1110(b) assures inholders “... adequate and feasible access for economic and other purposes.... 

subject to reasonable regulations... to protect the natural and other values of such lands” (see DOI 

regulations at 43 CFR 36.10).

ANILCA Title XIII – Administrative Provisions

Access to inholdings on general BLM land and not addressed by ANILCA Section 1110(b)

For general public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, ANILCA Section 1323(b) states: 

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary 

of the Interior may prescribe, the Secretary shall provide such access to nonfederally owned land 

surrounded by public lands managed by the Secretary under the Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701-82) as the Secretary deems adequate to secure to the owner the reasonable 

use and enjoyment thereof: Provided, that such owner comply with rules and regulations applicable to 

access across public lands.”

 Appendix E: Glossary of Terms 1

Glossary of Terms

Assets: Engineering term used to describe building and non-building facility and transportation 

constructions that include roads, primitive roads, and trails that are included in the Facility Asset 

Management System (FAMS). Assets are maintained through the annual maintenance and deferred 

maintenance programs. (See the “Roads and Trails Terminology Report” at http://www.blm.gov/pgdata/

etc/medialib/blm/wo/Information_Resources_Management/

policy/im_attachments/2006.Par.69739.File.dat/im2006-173attach2.pdf). 

•	 Road: A linear route declared a road by the owner, managed for use by low-clearance vehicles 

having four or more wheels, and maintained for regular and continuous use. 

•	 Primitive Road: A linear route managed for use by four-wheel drive or high-clearance 

vehicles. These routes do not customarily meet any BLM road design standards. Unless 

specifically prohibited, primitive roads can be used for hiking, biking, horses, etc.

•	 Trail: A linear route managed for human-powered, stock, or off-road vehicle forms of 

transportation or for historic or heritage values. Trails are not generally managed for use by 

four-wheel drive or high-clearance vehicles.

Cooperating Agency: Assists the lead federal agency in developing an EA or EIS. The Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations implementing NEPA define a cooperating agency as any agency that 

has jurisdiction by law or special expertise for proposals covered by NEPA (40 CFR 1501.6). Any federal, 

state, or local government jurisdiction with such qualifications may become a cooperating agency by 

agreement with the lead agency. 

Comprehensive Travel and Transportation Management: Comprehensive travel management 

planning should address all resource use aspects (such as recreational, traditional, casual, industrial, 

commercial and educational) and accompanying modes and conditions of travel on the public lands, not 

just motorized or off-highway vehicle activities. 

Environmental Assessment (EA): An Environmental Assessment is compiled to determine the need 

for an EIS. The assessment is a formal process used to predict the environmental consequences of any 

development project.

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS): The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires 

consideration and disclosure of environmental and socio-economic impacts associated with any 

proposed action. The analysis will be documented in an EIS. The EIS will identify potential impacts 

that implementation of the RMP could have on the environment and identify appropriate measures to 

mitigate those impacts. 

Facility Asset Management System (FAMS): The BLM’s national database that tracks asset 

inventory and maintenance needs. This database is for all BLM building and non-building engineered 

and “Constructed” Assets, not just transportation assets, and does not generally include nonconstructed assets such as human-made linear features and disturbances that are not part of the BLM’s 

transportation network.

Ground Transportation Linear Feature: A geospatial database of transportation (from motorized to 

foot) linear features as they exist on the ground. Features include all linear features not just what is in 

the BLM Transportation System.
Bureau of Land Management Alaska Long Range Transportation Plan 

2 Appendix E: Glossary of Terms

Implementation Plan: A site-specific plan written to implement decisions made in a land use plan. 

An implementation plan usually selects and applies best management practices to meet land use plan 

objectives. Implementation plans are synonymous with “activity” plans. Examples of implementation 

plans include interdisciplinary management plans, travel and transportation management plan, habitat 

management plans, and allotment management plans.

Implementation Plan Decisions: Decisions that take action to implement land use plan decisions; 

generally appealable to IBLA under 43 CFR 4.410.

Lands with Wilderness Characteristics (LWC): Lands that have been inventoried and 

determined by the BLM to contain wilderness characteristics as defined in Section 2(c) of the 

Wilderness Act. 

Limited OHV Designations: The Limited designation is used where OHV use is managed to meet 

specific resource management objectives. Management of OHVs may include limiting the number 

or type of vehicles, time or season of use; allowing permitted or licensed use only; limit OHV use to 

designated roads and trails; or other limitations necessary to meet resource management objectives, 

including certain competitive or intensive use areas that have special limitations. See 43 CFR 8340.05.

Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV): The term “OHV” is often used to describe a wide range of summer and 

winter motorized vehicles that travel off the road system and differ from highway vehicles. Off-Highway 

Vehicles (OHV) are synonymous with Off-Road Vehicles (ORV as defined in 43 CFR 8340.0-5 (a): Offroad vehicle means any motorized vehicle capable of, or designed for, travel on or immediately over land, 

water, or other natural terrain, excluding: 1) Any non-amphibious registered motorboat; 2) Any military, 

fire, emergency, or law enforcement vehicle while being used for emergency purposes; 3) Any vehicle 

whose use is expressly authorized by the authorized officer, or otherwise officially approved; 4) Vehicles 

in official use; and 5) Any combat or combat support vehicle when used in times of national defense 

emergencies. 

OHV Area Designations: Refers to the land use plan decisions that permit, establish conditions, or 

prohibit OHV activities on specific areas of public lands. All public lands are required to have OHV 

designations (43 CFR 8342.1). The CFR requires all the BLM-managed public lands to be designated as 

Open, Limited or Closed to off-road vehicles, and provides guidelines for designation. The definitions of 

Open, Limited and Closed are provided in 43 CFR 8340.0-5 (f), (g) and (h), respectively.

a. Open OHV Designations: Open designations are used for intensive OHV use area where there are 

no special restrictions or where there are no compelling resource protection needs, user conflicts, or 

public safety issues to warrant limiting cross-country travel. See 43 CFR 8340.05

b. Limited OHV Designations: The Limited designation is used where OHV use is managed to meet 

specific resource management objectives. Management of OHVs may include limiting the number 

or type of vehicles, time or season of use; allowing permitted or licensed use only; limit OHV 

use to designated roads and trails; or other limitations necessary to meet resource management 

objectives, including certain competitive or intensive use areas that have special limitations. See 43 

CFR 8340.05.

c. Closed OHV Designations: The term “Closed” means an area or trail where off-road vehicle use is 

prohibited, except where authorized by the BLM. See 43 CFR 36.10-13 and 8342.1.

Planning Criteria: The standards, rules, and other factors developed by managers and 

interdisciplinary teams used when forming judgments about decision-making, analysis, and data 

collection during the planning process. Planning criteria streamline and simplify resource management 

planning actions.
Bureau of Land Management Alaska Long Range Transportation Plan 

 Appendix E: Glossary of Terms 3

Resource Management Plan: The BLM considers RMPs to be synonymous with land use plans (as 

defined above), so the terms may be used interchangeably. Land use plan decisions made in RMPs 

establish goals and objectives for resource management (such as desired future conditions), the 

measures needed to achieve these goals and objectives, and parameters for using public lands. Land 

use planning decisions are usually made on a broad scale and customarily guide subsequent sitespecific implementation decisions.

Resource Management Planning Area: Most RMPs cover a large planning and management area. 

As a result, the planning area may be divided into smaller areas, each with differing values, issues, 

needs and opportunities that may warrant differing management prescriptions. 

Routes: Multiple roads, trails and primitive roads; a group or set of roads, trails, and primitive roads. 

Generically, components of the transportation network are described as “routes.” 

Subsistence: Subsistence is defined by federal law as “the customary and traditional uses by rural 

Alaska residents of wild, renewable resources for direct personal or family consumption as food, 

shelter, fuel, clothing, tools or transportation; for the making and selling of handicraft articles out of 

nonedible by-products of fish and wildlife resources taken for personal or family consumption; and for 

the customary trade, barter or sharing for personal or family consumption.”

Travel Management Plan (TMP): The document that describes the process and decisions related to 

the selection and management of the Transportation Network. This document can be an appendix to 

the RMP or a stand-alone document subsequent to the RMP.

Transportation Network: The network of roads, primitive roads and trails (motorized and nonmotorized) that are selected (recognized, designated or authorized) for use through the comprehensive 

TTM process.
