SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ROD and the ARMPAs for the Great Basin Region GRSG sub-regions of Idaho and Southwestern Montana, Nevada and Northeastern California, Oregon, and Utah were developed through a collaborative planning process in order to incorporate land use plan level measures into existing BLM land use plans to protect, enhance, and restore GRSG and their habitat by reducing, eliminating, or minimizing threats to GRSG habitat in the context of the BLM's multiple-use and sustained yield mission under FLPMA. The ARMPAs approved by the ROD include land use allocations that limit or eliminate new surface disturbance in GRSG Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA), while minimizing disturbance in GRSG General Habitat Management Areas (GHMA). The Idaho and Southwestern Montana ARMPA also includes Important Habitat Management Areas (IHMA) in Idaho, where management provides a buffer for PHMAs and connects patches of PHMAs. IHMAs encompass areas of generally moderate to high value habitat and/or populations, but that are not as important as PHMAs. The Nevada and Northeastern California ARMPA also includes Other Habitat Management Areas (OHMA), which is unmapped habitat that contains seasonal or connectivity habitat areas. BLM management of these areas is limited to the application of required design features (RDFs) for certain authorizations when applicable. In addition to establishing protective land use allocations, the ARMPAs implement a suite of management decisions, such as the establishment of disturbance limits, GRSG habitat objectives, mitigation requirements, monitoring protocols, and adaptive management triggers and responses, as well as other conservation measures throughout the range. The cumulative effect of these measures is to protect, improve, and restore GRSG habitat across the remaining range of the species in the Great Basin and provide greater certainty that BLM land and resource management activities in GRSG habitat will lead to conservation of the GRSG and other species associated with the sagebrush ecosystem in the region. The ARMPAs approved by the ROD amend the following BLM Resource Management Plans (RMPs) and Management Framework Plans (MFPs), completed in the year indicated: CaliforniaAlturas RMP (2008) Eagle Lake RMP (2008) Surprise RMP (2008) Idaho Bennett Hills/Timmerman Hills MFP (1980) Big Desert MFP (1981) Big Lost MFP (1983) Bruneau MFP (1983) Cassia RMP (1985) Cascade RMP (1988) Challis RMP (1999) Craters of the Moon National Monument RMP (2006) Kuna (1983) Jarbidge RMP (2015) Lemhi RMP (1987) Little Lost-Birch Creek MFP (1981) Magic MFP (1975) Monument RMP (1985) Medicine Lodge RMP (1985) Owyhee RMP (1999) Pocatello RMP (2012) Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area RMP (2008) Sun Valley MFP (1981) Twin Falls MFP (1982) Montana Dillon RMP (2006) Nevada Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon NCA RMP (2004) Carson City Consolidated RMP (2001) Elko RMP (1987) Ely RMP (2008) Shoshone-Eureka RMP (1986) Tonopah RMP (1997) Wells RMP (1985) Winnemucca RMP (2015) Oregon Andrews RMP (2005) Baker RMP (1989) Brothers-LaPine RMP (1989) Lakeview RMP (2003) Southeastern Oregon RMP (2003) Steens RMP (2005) Three Rivers RMP (1992) Upper Deschutes RMP (2005) Utah Box Elder RMP (1986) Cedar/Beaver/Garfield/Antimony RMP (1986) Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Management Plan (2000) House Range RMP (1987) Kanab RMP (2008) Park City MFP (1975) Pinyon MFP (1978) Pony Express RMP (1990) Price RMP (2008) Randolph MFP (1980) Richfield RMP (2008) Salt Lake District Isolated Tracts Planning Analysis (1985) Vernal RMP (2008) Warm Springs RMP (1987) The Idaho and Southwestern Montana, Nevada and Northeastern California, and Utah Draft Land Use Plan Amendments (LUPAs)/Draft Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) and Proposed LUPAs/Final EISs included proposed GRSG management direction for National Forest System lands. However, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) has completed a separate ROD and Land and Resource Management Plans under USFS planning authorities. Management decisions within the ROD and ARMPAs apply only to BLM-administered lands. Across all four sub-regions in the Great Basin Region, the ROD and ARMPAs amend existing land use plan decisions on a total of approximately 90 million BLM-administered surface acres. A Notice of Availability (NOA) for the Great Basin Region GRSG Proposed LUPAs and Final EISs for the Idaho and Southwestern Montana, Nevada and Northeastern California, Oregon, and Utah sub-regions was published in the Federal Register on May 29, 2015, which initiated a 30-day protest period and a 60-day Governor's consistency review period. The BLM received 133 timely and valid protest submissions across all four Great Basin Proposed LUPAs/Final EISs. All protests have been resolved and/or dismissed. For a full description of the [[Page 57635]] issues raised during the protest period and how they were addressed, please refer to the Director's Protest Resolution Reports for all four ARMPAs, which are available at the following Web site: http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/planning/planning_overview/protest_resolution/protestreports.html. The BLM received notifications of inconsistencies and recommendations as to how to resolve them during the Governor's consistency review period from the States of Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah. The BLM also received a concurrence letter of consistency from the State of California. On August 6, 2015, the BLM State Directors for Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah sent notification letters to their respective States as to whether they accepted or rejected their recommendations for consistency. The States were then given thirty days to appeal the State Directors' decisions. The States of Idaho, Nevada, and Utah appealed the BLM State Directors' decisions. The BLM Director affirmed the State Directors' decisions on these recommendations as the recommendations did not provide the balance required by 43 CFR 1610.3-2(e). The Director communicated his decisions on the appeals in writing to the Governors concurrently with the release of the RODS. The Proposed LUPAs/Final EISs were selected in the ROD as the ARMPAs, with some minor modifications and clarifications based on protests received, the Governors' consistency reviews, and internal agency deliberations.
