DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Dixie National Forest; Tropic To Hatch 

138kV Transmission Line Project, 

Correction to Include Notice of Intent 

To Amend the Bureau of Land 

Management, Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument 

Management Plan 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA and 

Bureau of Land Management, USDI. 

ACTION: Correction to notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2) of 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969, 40 Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) subparts 1500–1508, and 43 CFR 

subpart 1610.5–5 (Planning 

Regulations), notice is hereby given that 

the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), 

Grand Staircase-Escalante National 

Monument intends to prepare an 

amendment to the Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument 

Management Plan (MMP) with an 

associated environmental impact 

statement (EIS) in cooperation with the 

U.S. Forest Service as lead agency. The 

Dixie National Forest published a 

Notice of Intent in the Federal Register 

to initiate this proposal on February 21, 

2008, but did not include the BLM’s 

Grand Staircase-Escalante National 

Monument (GSENM) Notice of Intent 

into its heading. The publication of this 

Federal Register notice is to make the 

public aware that this action also 

applies to a possible land use plan 

amendment to the MMP. Discussion of 

the GSENM amendment was in the body 

of the original Federal Register notice, 

but was not evident in the title. The 

public is now provided a second 

opportunity to review and provide 

comments on this possible amendment 

to the BLM’s MMP based on the 

planning criteria identified in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION below. 

DATES: Public comments should be 

submitted in writing to the address 

listed below within 30 days following 

the publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to 

Paul Chapman, Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument, Tropic to 

Hatch 138kV Transmission Line, BLM 

Project Leader, 190 East Center, Kanab,

transmission_line_eis_

comments@fs.fed.us. E-mailed 

comments must be submitted in MS 

Word (*.doc) or rich text format (*.rtf) 

and should include the project name in 

the subject line. Written comments may 

also be submitted at the above address 

during regular business hours of 8 a.m. 

to 4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail 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.

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. Comments may be published as 

part of the EIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

Notice of Intent to amend the MMP 

responds to a proposal from Garkane 

Energy Cooperative to construct, operate 

and maintain a 138 kilovolt (kV) electric 

transmission line in Garfield County, 


mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICESEN27MR09.406</GPH>
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 58 / Friday, March 27, 2009 / Notices 13413 

Utah. The project is known as the 

Garkane Energy Cooperative Tropic to 

Hatch 138kV Transmission Line and is 

proposed to cross over USFS, Park 

Service and/or BLM lands. A plan 

amendment for BLM’s MMP is needed 

to analyze the proposal which occurs 

outside of the current utility right-ofway identified in the MMP (February, 

2000). The proposal occurs in an area 

identified as a Primitive Management 

Zone and Visual Resource Management 

(VRM) Class II zone as described in the 

MMP. The construction of transmission 

lines is not provided for in this zone 

(Decisions #LAND–7 and VRM–1). In 

summary, these decisions state: (1) ‘‘In 

the primitive zone, utility rights-of-way 

will not be permitted. In cases of 

extreme need for local (not regional) 

needs and where other alternatives are 

not available, a plan amendment could 

be considered for those facilities.’’ and 

(2) ‘‘Utilizing the results of the visual 

resource inventory and other resource 

allocation considerations, 68 percent 

lands within the Monument will be 

assigned to VRM Class II and 32 percent 

of the lands within the Monument will 

be assigned to VRM Class III, as shown 

on Map 6.’’ However, the construction 

of new utility rights-of-way is provided 

for in the MMP (Decision #LAND–5 and 

VRM–1). The proposed plan 

amendment would change the 

Management Zone from Primitive to 

Passage and VRM Class II to III. This 

amendment would consider a right-ofway corridor within the Passage Zone to 

accommodate an existing utility rightof-way, the proposed utility right-ofway, and the possibility of additional 

rights-of-way in the future. Therefore, 

this corridor would be considered in the 

amendment to change the Primitive 

Zone to a Passage Zone and the VRM 

Class II to a VRM Class III. 

The Bureau of Land Management 

planning regulations (43 CFR 1600) 

require the preparation of planning 

criteria to guide the development of 

resource management plan 

amendments. Planning criteria ensure 

that plans are tailored to the identified 

issues and ensure that unnecessary data 

collections and analysis are avoided. 

These general planning criteria will be 

used to develop the MMP amendment 

for the Tropic to Hatch Transmission 

Line Project. The planning criteria 

primarily remain the same as were 

presented in the February 21, 2008 

Federal Register notice, with a slight 

change to the first bulleted criteria. This 

criterion has been broadened to include 

a right-of-way corridor, instead of only 

one right-of-way project. The planning 

criteria are as follows: 

• The plan amendment will consider 

a right-of-way utility corridor currently 

within a primitive zone adjacent to an 

existing utility right-of-way. 

• The plan amendment will be 

completed in compliance with the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act and all other applicable laws. 

• The plan amendment will meet the 

intent of the Proclamation that 

established Grand Staircase-Escalante 

National Monument which protects 

objects of geological, paleontological, 

archaeological, biological, and historic 

values within the Monument. 

The lead Federal agency indentified 

for the proposed project is the 

Department of Agriculture, Dixie 

National Forest. The Bureau of Land 

Management (Kanab Field Office and 

Grand Staircase-Escalante National 

Monument) and the National Park 

Service are cooperating agencies. For 

more information regarding the 

proposed project, refer to the Notice of 

Intent to Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement, published in the 

Federal Register on February 21, 2008 

(Volume 73, Number 35, page 9517– 

9521).

the services to the Government.
