Plan and Final Environmental Impact 

Statement; Idaho 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and 

the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA, 43 

U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) has prepared a 

Proposed Resource Management Plan/ 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(PRMP/FEIS) for the Cottonwood Field 

Office, Idaho. 

DATES: The BLM Planning Regulations 

(43 CFR 1610.5–2) state that any person 

who participated in the planning 

process, and has an interest which is or 

may be adversely affected, may protest 

BLM’s approval of a Resource

protest within 30 days of the date that 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes their Notice of Availability in 

the Federal Register. Instructions for 

filing of protests are described in the 

Dear Reader letter of the Cottonwood 

PRMP/FEIS and in the SUPPLEMENTARY

Cottonwood Field Office, 1 Butte Drive, 

Cottonwood, ID 83522; (208) 962–3784; 

or Dean_Huibregtse@blm.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

planning area covers approximately 

143,830 acres of public lands within the 

following Idaho Counties: Latah, 

Clearwater, Nez Perce, Lewis, Idaho and 

Adams. The Cottonwood RMP, when 

completed, will provide management 

guidance for use and protection of the 

resources managed by the Cottonwood 

Field Office. The Draft Cottonwood 

RMP/EIS was published for public 

comment on August 25, 2006. During 

the 90-day public comment period BLM 

received 30 comment letters, e-mails, 

and faxes containing 376 individual 

comments. Comments on the Draft 

RMP/EIS from the public and internal 

BLM review comments were 

incorporated into the proposed plan. 

Public comments resulted in the 

addition of clarifying text and minor 

changes to the Preferred Alternative, but 

did not significantly change proposed 

land use decisions. The planning issues 

addressed in the PRMP/FEIS include: 

invasive plant species, forest vegetation, 

special status species, watershed 

management, transportation and travel 

management, commercial land uses, 

fuels reduction treatments, public land 

management and recreational demands. 

Copies of the Cottonwood PRMP/FEIS 

have been sent to affected Federal, State 

and Local Government agencies and to 

interested parties. Copies of the PRMP/ 

FEIS are available for public inspection 

at the BLM Cottonwood Field Office at 

the address shown above. Interested 

persons may review the PRMP/FEIS on 

the Internet at http://www.blm.gov/rmp/ 

id/cottonwood/. You may also obtain a 

copy on CD–ROM, or paper copy at the 

BLM Cottonwood Office at the address 

listed above, or by contacting Dean 

Huibregtse at (208) 962–3784. 

As noted above, instructions for filing 

a protest with the Director of the BLM 

regarding the PRMP/FEIS may be found 

at 43 CFR 1610.5–2. A protest may only 

raise those issues which were submitted 

for the record during the planning 

process. E-mail and faxed protests will 

not be accepted as valid protests unless 

the protesting party also provides the 

original letter by either regular or 

overnight mail postmarked by the close 

of the protest period. Under these 

conditions, BLM will consider the email or faxed protest as an advance copy 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
46332 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 154 / Friday, August 8, 2008 / Notices 

and it will receive full consideration. If

advance notification, please direct faxed 

protests to the attention of the BLM

and e-mails to Brenda_HudgensWilliams@blm.gov.

a proposed legislative withdrawal from 

all forms of appropriation under the

public lands located in Tooele County,

filed an application with the Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM) requesting the 

Secretary of the Interior to process a 

legislative withdrawal pursuant to the 

Engle Act (43 U.S.C. 155–158). The 

proposed withdrawal would withdraw 

and reserve the following described 

public lands located within the exterior 

boundaries of the Utah Test and 

Training Range (UTTR) in Tooele 

County, Utah, from settlement, sale, 

location or entry under the general land 

laws, including the mining laws, subject

T.4 S., R. 19 W., 

secs. 2, 16, 32 and 36. 

The areas described contain approximately 

18,248 acres in Tooele County. 

The purpose of the proposed 

legislative withdrawal is to withdraw 

and reserve the lands for use as a 

military training range, involving aerial 

bombing and a gunnery range necessary 

for national security. The withdrawal 

would be established by an act of 

Congress approved by the President. 

The duration of the withdrawal would 

be determined by Congress. 

For a period of 90 days from the date 

of publication of this notice, all persons 

who wish to submit comments, 

suggestions, or objections in connection 

with the proposed action may present 

their views in writing to the BLM Utah 

State Director, at the address noted 

above. 

Comments, including names and 

street addresses of respondents, and 

records relating to the proposed land 

transfer will be available for public 

review during regular business hours at 

the BLM Utah State Office at the address 

specified above. Individual respondents 

may request confidentiality. 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. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

A public meeting has been scheduled 

in connection with the proposed 

legislative withdrawal. The purpose of 

the meeting is to provide information 

and solicit public comments on the 

proposed action. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

since the lands herein described lie 

within the exterior boundaries of the 

existing UTTR. 

This withdrawal application will be 

processed in accordance with the 

regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 

2300. 

For a period of two years from the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, the lands will be 

segregated as specified above unless the 

application is denied or canceled or the 

withdrawal is approved prior to that 

date. Land uses currently occurring may 

continue during the segregative period. 

If the proposed legislative withdrawal 

has been submitted to Congress but not 

enacted into law by the end of the twoyear segregation period, consideration 

will be given to entertaining an 

application for a temporary withdrawal 

in aid of pending legislation.
