MO

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of the final

Sweet Grass Hills resource management

plan amendment and environmental

impact statement.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4327) the

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has

prepared a Final EIS on the final

amendment and environmental impacts

statement (EIS) addresses future

management options for land tenure

adjustment, off-road vehicle use, oil and

gas leasing, and locatable mineral

development for lands and minerals

administered by the Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) in the Sweet Grass

Hills in Toole and Liberty Counties,

Montana, and amends the West HiLine

Resource Management Plan (1988 and

1992). This includes approximately

7,717 surface acres, 19,765 acres of all

mineral estate, and 1,644 acres of only

oil and gas estate. These lands are

administered by the BLM through the

Great Falls Resource Area. The

proposed alternative and three other

alternatives have been developed to

provide management options for the

Sweet Grass Hills.

DATES: A record of decision will be

prepared no earlier than 30 days after

the Notice of Availability for the Final

EIS is published in the Federal Register

by the Environemntal Protection

Agency.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Final EIS are

available from the Bureau of Land

Management, Great Falls Resource Area,

812 14th Street North, Great Falls

Montana 59401 or the Lewistown

District Office, P.O. Box 1160,

Area, 812 14th Street North, Great Falls,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Sweet

Grass Hills are significant because of

their importance as a religious and

cultural use area for Native Americans;

they are an integral part of the peregrine

falcon reintroduction area; they contain

high value recreational lands; and they

support diverse wildlife populations. In

August 1993, the BLM segregated the

Federal mineral estate in the Sweet

Grass Hills for a two-year period which

closed the area to the location of new

mining claims until August 1995. The

BLM also began amending the West

HiLine Resource Management Plan to

reevaluate current management

decisions for the Sweet Grass Hills.

About 500 copies of the Draft EIS

were distributed to the public and other

federal and state agencies in February

1995. During the 90-day public

comment period, the BLM held four

public meetings to receive oral

comments. In addition to oral

comments, the BLM received 397 letters

on the Draft EIS. All comments, written

and oral, were reviewed and considered

in preparation of the Final EIS.

Comments that presented new data,

questioned facts or analyses, or raised

questions or issues bearing directly

upon the alternatives or environmental

analysis, are responded to in the Final

EIS. The Final EIS incorporates

comments and suggestions made on the

Draft EIS during the public review

period. Changes were made to the

preferred alternative in the Draft EIS

including: all Federal minerals (19,765

acres) would be recommended for a 20

year term withdrawal and all BLM land

would remain in public ownership.

The amendment to the West HiLine

Resource Management Plan will provide

specific direction concerning locatable

mineral development and will

recommend whether all of the area

should be closed to mining claim

location. If the record of decision
25238 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 98 / Monday, May 20, 1996 / Notices

recommends closure, the BLM would

begin processing a 20-year term

withdrawal.

Dated: May 10, 1996.
