SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM prepared the GUSG Rangewide Draft 
RMP Amendment/Draft EIS to address a range of alternatives focused on 
specific conservation measures across the range of the GUSG in 
southwest Colorado and southeast Utah. The Draft RMP Amendment/Draft 
EIS proposes to amend the current management decisions for resources as 
described in the following RMPs:

    The planning area includes approximately 2.1 million acres of BLM, 
National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, State, local and private 
lands located in southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah within 12 
counties (Chaffee, Delta, Dolores, Gunnison, Hinsdale, Mesa, Montrose, 
Ouray, Saguache and San Miguel counties in Colorado; and Grand and San 
Juan counties in Utah). Within the decision area, the BLM administers 
approximately 740,000 surface acres and approximately 1.3 million acres 
of Federal sub-surface mineral estate. Within the decision area, the 
BLM manages 623,000 acres of GUSG habitat, representing 37 percent of 
the habitat across the species range. Surface and subsurface management 
decisions made as a result of this Draft RMP Amendment/Draft EIS will 
apply only to the BLM-administered lands and minerals in the decision 
area.
    The Draft RMP Amendment/Draft EIS analyzes management actions 
applicable to three categories of BLM-administered lands and Federal 
subsurface: Occupied Habitat, Unoccupied Habitat, and Non-Habitat.
    Occupied Habitat:
     Occupied critical habitat as designated by the Fish and 
Wildlife Service (FWS);
     Vacant/unknown habitat delineated by Colorado Parks and 
Wildlife that FWS did not designate as occupied critical habitat;
     Habitat within the Poncha Pass area; and
     Specific areas the FWS excluded from the critical habitat 
designation coinciding with Federal subsurface estate.
    Unoccupied Habitat: Unoccupied critical habitat as designated by 
the FWS.
    Non-Habitat: Non-GUSG habitat adjacent to Occupied or Unoccupied 
Habitat within 4 miles of a lek, where certain activities might disrupt 
GUSG within the adjacent habitat areas.
    The formal public scoping process for the RMP Amendment/EIS began 
on July 18, 2014, with the publication of a Notice of Intent in the 
Federal Register (79 FR 42033), and ended on August 22, 2014. The BLM 
held four public scoping meetings in August 2014. 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 BLM also used the scoping process to 
introduce the public to preliminary planning criteria, which set limits 
on the scope of the Draft RMP Amendment/Draft EIS.
    Major issues the Draft RMP Amendment/Draft EIS considers include 
special status species management (specifically for the GUSG), energy 
and mineral development, lands and realty, travel and transportation, 
recreation, fire management and range management.
    The Draft RMP Amendment/Draft EIS evaluates four alternatives in 
detail, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative A) and three 
action alternatives (Alternatives B, C and D). All action alternatives 
require compliance with the mitigation hierarchy of first, avoiding 
impacts to the maximum extent compatible with the goals of the 
alternative; second, minimizing any impacts that are not avoided; and 
third, providing compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable impacts. 
All mitigation requires a net conservation gain. Alternative A, the No 
Action Alternative, would continue management of public lands and 
resources under current BLM RMPs, as previously amended. Alternative B 
primarily focuses on habitat protection and avoiding impacts to GUSG 
and GUSG habitat whenever and wherever possible. Alternative C focuses 
on minimizing and mitigating impacts to GUSG habitat. Alternative D, 
the Preferred Alternative, includes two sub-alternatives. Sub-
alternative D1 adapts and expands on the BLM Gunnison Basin 
Candidate Conservation Agreement (2013) to manage the Gunnison Basin 
GUSG population. Sub-alternative D2 includes management 
actions developed and tailored for the satellite (non-Gunnison Basin) 
populations. Identification of a Preferred Alternative does not 
represent final agency decision, and the Proposed and Approved RMP 
Amendments may reflect changes or adjustments based on public comments, 
new information, or changes in BLM policies or priorities. The Proposed 
and Approved RMP Amendments may include objectives and actions 
described in the other analyzed alternatives or otherwise within the 
spectrum of alternatives analyzed. Pursuant to 43 CFR 1610.7-2(b), this 
notice announces a concurrent public comment period on proposed Areas 
of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs). BLM determined that four 
potential ACECs met the criteria for relevance and importance, some of 
which overlapped. The Draft RMP Amendment/Draft EIS includes a range of 
alternatives for ACECs from no designations to designation of a single 
proposed ACEC that encompasses all four potential ACECs. In particular, 
Alternative B analyzes an ACEC for all Occupied and Unoccupied Habitat 
(the Sage-Grouse Habitat ACEC), which encompasses all four potential 
ACECs that were evaluated. This proposed ACEC covers approximately 
623,000 acres and meets the relevance and importance criteria because 
it includes more than locally significant qualities for GUSG, which are 
threatened and warrant protection. If the Sage-Grouse Habitat ACEC is 
formally designated, all resource management actions in Alternative B 
would be applied. The following are the overarching use allocations: 
closed to fluid mineral leasing; designated as a right-of-way exclusion 
area; limited to travel on existing or designated roads and trails; and 
recommended for withdrawal from mineral entry.
    Please note that public comments and information submitted 
including names, street addresses and email addresses of persons who 
submit comments will be available for public review and disclosure at 
the above addresses during regular business hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.), 
Monday through Friday, except holidays.
