# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The planning area is located in Northwest Colorado in Moffat, Routt, and Rio Blanco Counties. The plan will provide a framework to guide subsequent management decisions on approximately 1.3 million acres of BLM-administered public lands and 1.1 million acres of subsurface mineral estate administered by the BLM. The Little Snake Field Office is currently being managing under its 1989 RMP, which has been amended for Oil and Gas Leasing (1991), Black-Footed Ferret Reintroduction (1996) and Land Health Standards (1997).

On May 16, 2007, the public comment period on the Little Snake DRMP/DEIS ended. During the public comment period, the EPA, in consultation with BLM, identified areas where additional air quality information would improve the existing analysis in the DEIS.

                    As a result, the BLM has prepared an additional air quality analysis to inform the public and allow public comment on the data and conclusions. BLM will only accept comments from the public pertaining to the new air quality information. Comments that are substantive and in relation to the material contained in the Additional Air Quality Impact Assessment will be responded to in the Final EIS if received within the 45 days after the NOA is published in the                     **Federal Register**                    .                

Please note that public comments and information submitted regarding the Additional Air Quality Impact Assessment, including names, street addresses, and e-mail addresses of the respondents, will be available for public review and disclosure at the above address during regular business hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday, except holidays.

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.

Sally Wisely,

State Director, Colorado.
