agencies, along with Indian Tribal 

Nations and other stakeholders that may 

be interested in or affected by the 

proposed Uncompahgre Field Office 

RMP Amendment 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
