become the final determination of the 

Department of the Interior. 

This document also announces the 

beginning of the scoping process and 

seeks public input on preliminary issues 

and planning criteria. 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 

issues and planning criteria for the plan 

amendment have been identified by 

BLM personnel: 

Preliminary Issues—(1) What impacts 

would the proposed sale have on 

resources potentially eligible for the 

National Register of Historic Places; (2) 

How would lands and realty be 

impacted or impact the proposed sale; 

and (3) What impacts would the 

proposed sale have on fish and wildlife, 

special status species, and migratory 

birds and their habitat? Preliminary 

Planning Criteria—(1) The Proposed 

RMP Amendment and associated EA 

will be in compliance with the FLPMA 

and all other applicable laws, 

regulations and policies; (2) the 

Proposed RMP Amendment will be in 

compliance with 43 CFR part 2711.3–3; 

(3) Impacts of the proposed direct land 

sale and RMP Amendment will be 

analyzed in an EA, in accordance with 

43 CFR part 1500 and 43 CFR part 1600; 

(4) the EA and RMP Amendment will be 

developed in a manner consistent as 

possible with plans and policies of 

adjacent local, state, Tribal, and Federal 

agencies, within the parameters set by 

Federal laws, regulations, and policies; 

and (5) All data and graphic material in 

this plan amendment will be displayed 

electronically, using Geographic 

Information System (GIS) format. All 

applicable BLM data standards will be 

followed. 

The BLM will evaluate identified 

issues to be addressed in the RMP 

Amendment 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/Preliminary EA as to why 

an issue was placed in Category Two or 

Three. The BLM will use an 

interdisciplinary approach to develop 

the RMPA and EA and consider the 

variety of resource issues and concerns 

identified. Additionally, the BLM or the 

Tribes can initiate, at any time during 

this process, consultation 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 and will be analyzed in 

the EA.
