Notice of Availability of the Proposed 

Resource Management Plan and Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Butte Field Office, Montana 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA) and the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act of 1976 

(FLPMA), the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) has prepared the 

Proposed Resource Management Plan 

and Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (PRMP/Final EIS) for the 

Butte Field Office, Montana. 

DATES: The BLM planning regulations 

(43 CFR 1610.5–2) state that any person 

who meets the conditions as described 

in the regulations may protest the BLM’s 

PRMP/FEIS. A person who meets the 

conditions and files a protest must file 

the protest within 30 days of the date 

that the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) publishes its Notice of 

Availability in the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the PRMP/FEIS 

are available for public inspection at the 

BLM Butte Field Office, 106 North 

Parkmont, Butte, Montana. Interested 

persons may also review the PRMP/FEIS 

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

mt/st/en/fo/butte_field_office.html. All 

protests must be in writing and mailed 

to the following addresses: 

Regular Mail: Director (210), 

Attention: Brenda Williams, P.O. Box 

66538, Washington, DC 20035. 

Overnight Mail: Director (210), 

Attention: Brenda Williams, 1620 L 

Street, NW., Suite 1075, Washington, 

DC 20036. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim 

La Marr, RMP Project Manager, Bureau 

of Land Management, 106 North 

Parkmont, Butte, MT 59701, or by 

telephone at (406) 533–7645. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Butte 

Field Office is located in southwest 

Montana in Beaverhead, Broadwater, 

Deer Lodge, Gallatin, Jefferson, Lewis 

and Clark, Park, and Silver Bow 

Counties. The planning area addressed 

in the PRMP/FEIS includes about 

307,000 acres of the BLM surface lands 

and 652,000 acres of subsurface federal 

mineral estate administered by the Butte 

Field Office. 

Copies of the PRMP/FEIS for the Butte 

Field Office have been sent to affected 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 188 / Friday, September 26, 2008 / Notices 55867 

federal, state, and local government 

agencies, tribal governments, and other 

interested parties. There have been 

various opportunities for the public to 

provide input on this plan via public 

meetings, open houses, and multiple 

scoping periods where public comments 

have been solicited. 

The PRMP/FEIS considers four 

alternatives and will include the use of 

community-based working groups to 

assist with site-specific travel planning. 

The PRMP/FEIS addresses the following 

five major issues: 

(1) How will vegetation on the BLM 

lands be managed to achieve healthy 

ecosystems while providing for a broad 

range of multiple uses? 

(2) How will the BLM lands be 

managed to provide wildlife and fish 

habitat, and to conserve and recover 

special status and priority species? 

(3) How should the BLM manage 

motorized public travel to meet the 

needs for public access and resource 

uses while minimizing user conflicts 

and impacts to air, soil, watershed, 

vegetation, wildlife, and other resource 

values? 

(4) How should recreation be 

managed to accommodate the full range 

of recreational uses enjoyed by the 

public on the BLM lands? 

(5) Which areas, if any, should be 

managed as special designations, and 

how should they be managed to protect 

values that warrant their special 

designation status? The Preferred 

Alternative (Alternative B) includes 

active vegetation management to restore 

vegetation communities with associated 

forest product quantities being the same 

as, or slightly higher than, current 

levels, riparian management zones 

where meeting site-specific riparian 

objectives would receive primary 

consideration, and continuation of 

livestock grazing at approximately the 

same as current levels while meeting 

Land Health Standards. The Preferred 

Alternative would entail designation of 

four Areas of Critical Environmental 

Concern (ACEC), totaling 70,644 acres 

in area, with special management 

proposed for relevant and important 

values, as well as recommending two 

river segments, with a total length of 5.7 

miles, as suitable for Wild and Scenic 

River Designation. 

Comments on the Draft RMP/EIS 

received from the public and from the 

internal BLM review were incorporated 

as appropriate into the PRMP/FEIS. 

Public comments resulted in the 

addition of clarifying text and slight 

alterations of the Preferred Alternative 

but did not significantly change 

proposed land use decisions. 

Instructions for filing a protest with 

the Director of the BLM regarding the 

PRMP/FEIS may be found in the Dear 

Reader letter of the PRMP/FEIS for the 

Butte Field Office and at 43 CFR 

1610.5–2. E-mailed 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, the BLM will consider the emailed or faxed protest as an advance 

copy and it will receive full 

consideration. If you wish to provide 

the BLM with such advance 

notification, please direct fax protests to 

the attention of the BLM protest 

coordinator at (202) 452–5112, and emails to Brenda_HudgensWilliams@blm.gov. 

All protests, including the follow-up 

letter, if e-mailing or faxing, must be in 

writing and mailed to the appropriate 

address as set forth in the ADDRESSES

section above. 

Before including your phone number, 

e-mail address, or other personal 

identifying information in your protest, 

you should be aware that your entire 

protest—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your protest to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6, 43 CFR 1610.2, 

and 43 CFR 1610.5–1.

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) announces the 

availability of the Record of Decision 

(ROD) for the Approved Resource 

Management Plan (RMP) for the Ely 

RMP planning area located in eastcentral Nevada in Lincoln, White Pine 

and a portion of Nye counties. The

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information contact Jeff Weeks, 

RMP Project Manager, at (775) 289–1825 

or e-mail to: elyrmp@blm.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following entities participated in 

development of the RMP as cooperating 

agencies with special expertise: Great 

Basin National Park; Humboldt-Toiyabe 

National Forest; Nellis Air Force Base; 

Nevada Department of Transportation; 

Nevada Division of Minerals; Nevada 

Department of Wildlife; Nevada State 

Historic Preservation Office; Lincoln 

County; Nye County; White Pine 

County; Duckwater Shoshone Tribe; Ely 

Shoshone Tribe; Moapa Band of Paiutes; 

and the Yomba Shoshone Tribe. 

The public involvement and 

collaboration process implemented for 

this effort included six open houses 

during scoping; presentations to 

interested organizations upon their 

invitation; presentations to and 

suggestions from the Mojave/Southern 

Great Basin and the Northeastern Great 

Basin Resource Advisory Councils 

(RACs); distribution of information via 

the Ely RMP Web site and periodic 

planning bulletins; six public meetings 

on the Draft RMP/EIS; and public and 

agency review and comment on the 

Draft RMP/EIS. 

The planning area contains 

approximately 11,500,000 acres of 

public lands administered by the BLM 

Ely District. The Approved RMP 

describes the management direction to 

meet desired resource conditions 

through watershed analyses for 

livestock grazing, wildlife habitat, and 

special status species, while managing 

for mineral exploration and 

development, renewable energy 

development, recreational uses, areas of 

critical environmental concern. It also 

provides for land tenure adjustments to 

meet community growth needs. 

The preferred alternative, Alternative 

E of the Draft RMP, was carried forward 

into the Proposed RMP and Final EIS 

(PRMP/FEIS) as the Proposed Plan. The 

PRMP/FEIS was made available on 

November 30, 2007 and sent to
