Protest of the Proposed RMP 

The BLM’s planning regulations state 

that any person who participated in the 

preparation of the RMP and has an 

interest that will or might be adversely 

affected by approval of the Proposed 

RMP may protest its approval to the 

BLM Director. Protest of the Proposed 

RMP constitutes the final opportunity 

for administrative review of the 

proposed land use planning decisions 

prior to the BLM adopting an Approved 

RMP. 

All protests must be in writing and 

mailed to the appropriate address, as set 

forth in the ADDRESSES section earlier or 

submitted electronically through the 

BLM ePlanning project website, as 

previously described. Protests submitted 

electronically by any means other than 

the ePlanning project website will be 

invalid unless a protest is also 

submitted as a hard copy. The BLM 

Director will render a written decision 

on each protest. The Director’s decision 

shall be the final decision of the 

Department of the Interior. Responses to 

valid protest issues will be compiled 

and documented in a Protest Resolution 

Report that will be made available 

following the protest resolution online 

at: https://www.blm.gov/programs/ 

planning-and-nepa/publicparticipation/protest-resolution-reports. 

Upon resolution of protests, the BLM 

will issue a Record of Decision and 

Approved RMP. 

Before including your phone number, 

email address, or other personal 

identifying information in your protest, 

you should be aware that your entire 

protest—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask the BLM in your protest to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

Notice of Availability of the Proposed 

Resource Management Plan and Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Cascade-Siskiyou National 

Monument in Oregon/Washington and 

California 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended, and the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act of 1976, as 

amended, the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) has prepared a 

Proposed Resource Management Plan 

(RMP) and Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) for the CascadeSiskiyou National Monument (CSNM) 

and by this notice is announcing the 

start of a 30-day protest period of the 

Proposed RMP. 

DATES: This notice announces a 30-day 

protest period to the BLM on the 

Proposed RMP beginning with the date 

following the Environmental Protection 

Agency’s (EPA) publication of its Notice 

of Availability (NOA) of the Proposed 

RMP/Final EIS in the Federal Register. 

The EPA usually publishes its NOAs on 

Fridays. Protests must be postmarked or 

electronically submitted on the BLM’s 

ePlanning site during the 30-day protest 

period. 

ADDRESSES: The Proposed RMP and 

Final EIS is available on the BLM 

ePlanning project website at https://

eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/ 

project/2023675/510 and at the BLM 

Medford District, 3040 Biddle Rd, 

Medford, OR 97504; and the BLM 

Klamath Falls Field Office, 2795 

Anderson Avenue, Bldg. #25, Klamath 

Falls, OR 97603. 

Instructions for filing a protest with 

the BLM for the CSNM can be found at: 

https://www.blm.gov/programs/ 

planning-and-nepa/publicparticipation/filing-a-plan-protest and 

at 43 CFR 1610.5–2. Protests must be

listed above or to: BLM Director, 

Attention: Protest Coordinator (HQ210), 

P.O. Box 151029, Lakewood, CO 80215. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Nikki Haskett, Program Manager, 

telephone (458)–246–8861; address 

3040 Biddle Rd, Medford, OR 97504; 

email blm_csnm_rmp@blm.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CSNM boundary, as identified by 

Presidential Proclamation No. 9564, 

constitutes the planning area for this 

RMP. The planning area is 170,407 acres 

and includes lands within Jackson and 

Klamath Counties in Oregon, and 

Siskiyou County in California. The 

CSNM’s decision area is the 

approximately 113,500 acres of BLMadministered lands within the planning 

area. While most of the BLMadministered lands are within the BLM 

Ashland and Klamath Falls Field 

Offices in Oregon, approximately 5,000 

acres are located within the BLM 

Redding Field Office in California. 

The BLM’s current RMPs for lands in 

the decision area do not address all the 

legal mandates related to management 

of the congressionally designated 

National Conservation Lands (i.e., Soda 

Mountain Wilderness; the Jenny Creek 

and Spring Creek Wild and Scenic 

Rivers; the Applegate Trail, which is 

part of the California National Historic 

Trail; and the Pacific Crest National 

Scenic Trail) and the lands included in 

President Obama’s enlargement of the 

monument boundary. In addition, some 

aspects of the existing RMPs covering 

the planning area need to be updated to 

be consistent with current BLM policies. 

The RMP’s underlying purpose (40 

CFR 1502.13) is to provide a 

management framework, including 

objectives and management direction, 

that guides the BLM’s management of 

the decision area to protect and restore 

the resources, objects, and values for 

which the area was designated. 

Proposed Action and Alternatives 

The Cascade-Siskiyou National 

Monument Draft RMP and EIS 90-day 

public comment period began on April 

5, 2024, and ended on July 5, 2024. The 

BLM held four public meetings during 

the public comment period. The BLM 

considered and incorporated in the 

Proposed RMP, as appropriate, 

comments received from the public, 

consulting Tribes, cooperating agencies, 

and internal BLM review. Public 

comments resulted in the addition of 

clarifying text, minor changes to the 

existing alternatives, and a Proposed 

RMP that is within the range of 

alternatives and effects analyzed in the 

Draft RMP/EIS. In addition to the 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 198 / Friday, October 11, 2024 / Notices 82625 

Proposed RMP (Alternative E), the Final 

EIS analyzed Alternative A (the no 

action alternative) and three action 

alternatives (Alternatives B, C, and D) 

from the Draft EIS. 

Alternative A, the no action 

alternative, represents current 

management from the 2008 CascadeSiskiyou National Monument Approved 

RMP, the 2016 Southwestern Oregon 

Approved RMP, and the 1993 Redding 

Approved RMP. In addition to the 

existing RMPs, there are several nondiscretionary designations established 

by Congress that apply to lands in the 

planning area and are not reflected in 

the current RMPs but are part of the no 

action alternative. 

Alternative B emphasizes flexibility 

in planning-level direction, promotes 

intensive, active management to protect 

monument resources, and maximizes 

the potential for an array of 

discretionary actions that are 

compatible with the protection of CSNM 

objects and values. 

Alternative C emphasizes flexibility 

in planning-level direction but promotes 

a moderate level of active management 

for protection, maintenance, and 

restoration of CSNM resources, and sets 

some limitations on management 

actions and tools available. 

Alternative D would rely primarily on 

natural ecosystem processes that would 

allow plant community dynamics to 

unfold without active intervention. 

Exceptions include the management of 

young conifer stands (plantations) that 

are a product of past timber harvest and 

thinning around legacy trees and along 

wildfire evacuation routes. 

Since the publication of the Draft 

RMP/EIS, the BLM has developed 

Alternative E, the Proposed RMP, based 

largely on Alternative C, the preferred 

alternative in the Draft RMP/EIS, and to 

a lesser extent components from the 

other alternatives. Similar to Alternative 

C, the Proposed RMP emphasizes 

flexibility in planning-level direction 

but promotes a moderate level of active 

management for protection, 

maintenance, and restoration of CSNM 

resources, and sets some limitations on 

management actions and tools available. 

The Proposed RMP would not carry 

forward any Areas of Critical 

Environmental Concern (ACEC) or 

Research Natural Areas. The BLM 

determined that special management 

attention would be provided by 

management direction in the plan from 

other designations and management 

areas that apply monument-wide and 

would adequately protect the resource 

or value. The BLM determined that the 

entire monument holds historic, 

cultural, fish and wildlife, and scenic 

values that meet the relevance and 

importance criteria for an ACEC. The 

Proposed RMP/Final EIS are designed to 

protect the monument’s objects of 

scientific and historic interest outlined 

in Presidential Proclamations 7318 and 

9564, which would safeguard these 

resources or values. 

The Proposed RMP was developed 

based on the consideration of public 

comments, cooperating agency input, 

and Tribal consultation; updates to the 

best available science and information; 

and by combining elements of the 

alternatives analyzed in the Draft RMP/ 

EIS. Alternative E, the Proposed RMP, is 

within the range of alternatives 

considered in the Draft RMP/EIS. 

In addition to the analysis of 

Alternative E, the BLM made other 

changes that are summarized in 

Appendix T: Summary of Notable 

Changes.
