Notes

The purpose of this RMP amendment (RMPA) is to enhance cooperation with the States by modifying the approach to Greater Sage-Grouse management in existing RMPs to better align with individual state plans and/or conservation measures and DOI and BLM policy. This document is considering amendments to 23 BLM resource management plans in Idaho. The EIS describes and analyzes two alternatives for managing Greater Sage-Grouse habitat on approximately 8.8 million acres of BLM-administered surface estate and 27 million acres of BLM subsurface federal mineral estate...Major planning issues addressed include Sagebrush Focal Area designations, habitat boundary designations, density and disturbance caps, habitat objectives, energy and minerals, and lands and realty.

"The planning area includes the following BLM Idaho field offices: Owyhee, Four Rivers, Bruneau, Jarbidge, Burley, Shoshone, Pocatello, Upper Snake, Challis, and Salmon. The planning area encompasses approximately 11.4 million surface acres administered by the BLM and approximately 27 million subsurface acres in Ada, Adams, Bear Lake, Bingham, Blaine, Bonneville, Butte, Camas, Caribou, Cassia, Clark, Custer, Elmore, Fremont, Gem, Gooding, Jefferson, Jerome, Lemhi, Lincoln, Madison, Minidoka, Oneida, Owyhee, Payette, Power, Twin Falls, and Washington Counties"--Letter of transmittal.
