The approved RMPs close the noknown and low oil and gas development 

potential areas to future fluid mineral 

leasing, except for the helium potential 

area (GJFO), which remains open to 

leasing. Medium oil and gas 

development potential areas are closed 

where they are surrounded by low oil 

and gas development potential areas 

within the CRVFO. Medium oil and gas 

development potential areas that are 

either adjacent to (CRVFO) or 

surrounded by (GJFO) high oil and gas 

development potential areas remain 

open for oil and gas leasing. The high 

potential areas remain open for fluid 

mineral leasing. Within the high 

potential and open medium potential 

areas, there are areas closed to fluid 

mineral leasing due to specific resource 

concerns. Geothermal resources remain 

open to leasing, except for those within 

areas closed to oil and gas leasing due 

to specific resource concerns, and fluid 

mineral stipulations in the approved 

RMPs apply. 

The approved RMPs also close five 

existing designated ACECs to fluid 

mineral leasing to protect their relevant 

and important values, including the 

Glenwood Springs Debris Flow Hazard 

Zones and Grand Hogback ACECs in 

CRVFO, and the Atwell Gulch, Indian

and Pyramid Rock ACEC (GJFO). 

Within the CRVFO, the approved 

RMP designates the Castle Peak 

Addition lands with wilderness 

characteristics unit as a WSA and closes 

the Thompson Divide Withdrawal Area 

to oil and gas leasing. Within the GJFO, 

the approved RMP manages Cone 

Mountain, Granite Creek, Kings Canyon, 

Lumsden Canyon, and West Creek units 

for protection of their wilderness 

characteristics. 

Increased protections for the Roan 

and Carr Creeks ACEC and Jerry Creek, 

Mesa/Powderhorn, and Collbran 

municipal water source areas within the 

GJFO are provided through application 

of No-Surface-Occupancy stipulations. 

The BLM provided the proposed 

RMP/final supplemental EIS on June 21,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of one cultural item has been 

requested for repatriation. The 

unassociated funerary object is a ki’i 

la ̄’au (represented by Field Museum 

catalog number 272689). The ki’i la ̄’au 

was removed from the Hale o Keawe on 

the Island of Hawai’i in 1825 by one of 

the crewmembers of the H.M.S. Blonde. 

The Field Museum purchased the ki’i 

la ̄’au from A.W. F. Fuller in 1958. Fuller 

acquired the ki’i in 1911 from F.G. 

Spranger, who received it from a family 

member. No potentially hazardous 

substances are known to have been used 

to treat this item. 

Determinations 

The Field Museum has determined 

that: 

• The one unassociated funerary 

object described in this notice is 

reasonably believed to have been placed 

intentionally with or near human 

remains, and is connected, either at the 

time of death or later as part of the death 

rite or ceremony of a Native American 

culture according to the Native 

American traditional knowledge of a 

lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or 

Native Hawaiian organization. The 

unassociated funerary object has been 

identified by a preponderance of the 

evidence as related to human remains, 

specific individuals, or families, or 

removed from a specific burial site or 

burial area of an individual or 

individuals with cultural affiliation to 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• A known lineal descendant (name 

withheld per request) is connected to 

the cultural item described in this 

notice.

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the cultural item in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after November 21, 2024. If

for joint repatriation of the cultural item 

are considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The Field Museum 

is responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations identified in 

this notice and to any other consulting 

parties.

ASA disbanded, this collection was 

donated to the county museum in the 

early 2000s.
