SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document provides notice that the 

CRVFO, Silt, Colorado, intends to 

prepare an RMP Amendment with an 

associated EA for the future 

management of the recently acquired 

Sutey Ranch and Haines parcels. This 

Notice announces the beginning of the 

scoping process, and seeks public input 

on issues and planning criteria. The 

planning area encompasses 

approximately 669 acres of public land, 

including the 557-acre Sutey Ranch 

located in Garfield County, Colorado, 

and the 112-acre Haines parcel located 

along Prince Creek in Pitkin County, 

Colorado. 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 following preliminary 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
31566 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 130 / Friday, July 6, 2018 / Notices 

issues for the RMP amendment 

identified by BLM personnel, Federal, 

State and local agencies, and other 

stakeholders include: Recreational use, 

big game winter range, grazing, cultural 

resources and water rights. Preliminary 

planning criteria include: (1) The BLM 

will continue to manage the public 

lands within the CRVFO in accordance 

with FLPMA, and other applicable laws 

and regulations including all existing 

public land laws; (2) the BLM will 

complete the RMP Amendment using an 

interdisciplinary approach to identify 

alternatives and analyze resource 

impacts, including cumulative impacts 

to natural and cultural resources, and 

the social and economic environment; 

and (3) the RMP Amendment process 

will follow the FLPMA planning 

process and the BLM will develop an 

EA with appropriate environmental 

analysis of the alternatives, consistent 

with NEPA. 

You may submit comments on issues 

and planning criteria 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. Comments 

must be submitted by the close of the 

30-day scoping period or within 15 days 

after the last public meeting, whichever 

is later. 

The BLM will use the NEPA public 

participation requirements to assist the 

agency in satisfying the public 

involvement requirements under 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 

470(f)) pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). 

The information about historic and 

cultural resources within the area 

potentially affected by the proposed 

action will assist the BLM in identifying 

and evaluating impacts to such 

resources in the context of both NEPA 

and Section 106 of the NHPA. 

The BLM will consult with Indian 

Tribes on a government-to-government 

basis in accordance with Executive 

Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal 

concerns, including impacts on Indian 

trust assets and potential impacts to 

cultural resources, will be given due 

consideration. Federal, State and local 

agencies, along with Tribes and other 

stakeholders that may be interested in or 

affected by the proposed action that the 

BLM is evaluating, are invited to 

participate in the scoping process and, 

if eligible, may request or be requested 

by the BLM to participate in the 

development of the environmental 

analysis as a cooperating agency. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email 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 evaluate identified 

issues to be addressed in the plan, and 

will place them into one of three 

categories: 

1. Issues to be resolved in the plan 

amendment; 

2. Issues to be resolved through policy 

or administrative action; or 

3. Issues beyond the scope of this plan 

amendment. 

The BLM will provide an explanation 

in the Draft RMP Amendment/ 

Preliminary EA as to why an issue was 

placed in category two or three. The 

public is also encouraged to help 

identify any management questions and 

concerns that should be addressed in 

the plan. The BLM will work 

collaboratively with interested parties to 

identify the management decisions that 

are best suited to local, regional, and 

national needs and concerns. 

The BLM will use an interdisciplinary 

approach to develop the plan 

amendment 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: 

Rangeland management, minerals and 

geology, fuels, outdoor recreation, 

archaeology, paleontology, wildlife and 

fisheries, lands and realty, hydrology, 

soils, botany and ecology.
