SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The McInnis Canyons National Conservation 
Area was established on October 24, 2000, when the President signed the 
Colorado Canyons National Conservation Area and Black Ridge Wilderness 
Act of 2000 (Act). The Act also required that an Advisory Council be 
established to provide advice in the preparation and implementation of 
the Resource Management Plan. The name of the NCA was congressionally 
changed at the end of 2004 from Colorado Canyons National Conservation 
Area to McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area (MCNCA). The 
Resource Management Plan has been completed and is now being 
implemented.
