Montana. 

Comments on issues and planning 

criteria may also be submitted to the

Mary Bloom, Project Manager, Bureau of 

Land Management, Miles City Field

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

approved RMP will replace the existing 

Big Dry and Powder River RMPs as the 

document guiding land and resource 

management decisions on BLMadministered lands and minerals in the 

planning area. The purpose of the 

public scoping process is to determine 

relevant issues that will influence the 

scope of the environmental analysis and 

alternatives. These issues also guide the 

planning process. The BLM will work 

collaboratively with interested parties to 

identify the management options that 

are best suited to local, regional, and 

national needs and concerns. Public 

land management within the planning 

area is currently guided by the Big Dry 

RMP and the Powder River RMP, 

completed in 1996 and 1985, 

respectively. 

The intent of the planning process is 

to analyze and update land and resource 

management objectives within the 

planning area. The planning area 

includes all of the BLM-administered 

surface (2,785,000 acres) and mineral 

(11,725,000 acres) estate managed by the 

Miles City Field Office in Carter, Custer, 

Daniels, Dawson, Fallon, Garfield, 

McCone, Powder River, Prairie, 

Richland, Roosevelt, Rosebud, Sheridan, 

Treasure, Wibaux and portions of Big 

Horn and Valley counties. 

The public will assist the BLM in 

identifying the issues. Preliminary 

issues and management concerns have 

been identified by BLM personnel and 

other agencies, and in meetings with 

individuals and user groups. The RMP 

will consider resource options that are 

scientifically sound, legally defensible 

and sustainable. Examples of 

preliminary issues include the need to 

provide access to significant energy 

sources and communication sites, the 

continuation of grazing activities, 

maximizing use of public lands in 

species recovery and habitat 

conservation, and the need to provide 

adequate facilities for safe recreation 

and visitation on the public lands. 

Topics to be addressed in the RMP will 

include vegetation; forestry and timber; 

special status species; water quality and 

quantity; travel management; all special 

management area designations; 

livestock grazing; fluid mineral leasing, 

including for coal bed natural gas; solid 

minerals; recreational uses; right-of-way 

corridor planning and land 

authorizations; land tenure adjustment 

information and access needs; and 

Native American concerns. Management 

concerns include air quality, cultural 

resources, paleontological resources, 

social and economic concerns, 

environmental justice, and wildfire 

management. BLM will also consider 

compatibility with management plans 

for adjacent lands. 

BLM is also extending a call for coal 

resource information and any 

information regarding resources which 

may affect the leasing of Federal coal or 

be affected by the leasing of Federal 

coal. Resource information pertinent to 

any other BLM resource management 

activities is also requested. 

The RMP and EIS will be prepared by 

an interdisciplinary team with 

specialists for recreation, fisheries, 

biology, archeology, air quality, wildlife, 

realty, geology and mining, and range 

management. 

Please note that comments and 

information submitted regarding this 

RMP, including names, e-mail 

addresses, and street addresses of 

respondents, will be available for public 

review and disclosure at the above 

address. BLM will not accept 

anonymous comments. Individual 

respondents may request 

confidentiality. Individuals who wish to 

withhold their name or street address 

from public review or from disclosure 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

must state this prominently at the 

beginning of their written comments. 

Such requests will be honored to the 

extent allowed by law. All submissions 

from organizations and businesses, and 

from individuals identifying themselves 

as representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

available for public inspection in their 

entirety.
