Notes

The purpose of this resource management plan amendment (RMPA) is to enhance cooperation with the States by modifying the approach to greater sage-grouse management in existing resource management plans (RMPs) to better align with individual state plans and/or conservation measures and Department of the Interior (DOI) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) policy. This document is considering amendments to 14 BLM RMPs in Utah. The environmental impact statement (EIS) describes and analyzes two alternatives for managing Greater Sage-Grouse habitat on approximately 2.5 million acres of BLM-administered surface estate and 1.5 million acres of BLM subsurface 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.
