SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

planning area covers nearly 496,400 

surface acres of south-central Arizona 

and lies within Maricopa and Pinal 

Counties. Population centers adjacent to 

the planning area include metropolitan 

Phoenix, and the communities of Ajo, 

Goodyear, Buckeye, Gila Bend, Mobile, 

and Maricopa. The planning area 

encompasses Federal- and Stateadministered lands as well as private 

lands. The BLM manages 486,400 

surface acres of public lands in the 

planning area, as well as 461,000 acres 

of (sub-surface) mineral estate. The State 

of Arizona manages 3,900 surface acres 

in the planning area, with the remaining 

6,100 surface acres being privately 

owned land. 

The BLM has prepared the Proposed 

RMP Amendment/Final EIS to address 

management of recreational target 

shooting in the SDNM and to address 

rulings by the U.S. District Court— 

District of Arizona. The Proposed RMP 

Amendment/Final EIS was required to 

analyze recreational target shooting in 

the SDNM due to a ruling by the U.S. 

District Court—District of Arizona that 

vacated portions of the 2012 Record of 

Decision, approved RMP, and Final EIS 

related to recreational target shooting 

throughout the SDNM, and remanded 

the decision to the BLM for 

reconsideration. The Court ordered the 

BLM to issue the decision for this 

amendment by September 30, 2017. The 

formal public scoping process for the 

RMP Amendment began on January 21, 

2016, with the publication of a Notice 

of Intent in the Federal Register (81 FR 

3463), and ended on March 21, 2016. 

The BLM held three public scoping 

meetings in February 2016. The BLM 

used public scoping comments to help 

identify planning issues that directed 

the formulation of alternatives and 

framed the scope of analysis in the Draft 

RMP Amendment/Draft EIS. The formal 

90-day public comment period for the 

Draft RMP Amendment/Draft EIS began 

on December 16, 2016, with the 

publication of a NOA by the 

Environmental Protection Agency in the 


srobinson on DSKBC5CHB2PROD with NOTICES
