(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)).
This notice identifies an information
collection that the BLM plans to submit

respond.
The BLM will request a 3-year term of
approval for this information collection
activity. Comments are invited on: (1)
The need for the collection of
information for the performance of the
functions of the agency; (2) The
accuracy of the agency’s burden
estimates; (3) Ways to enhance the

quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (4) Ways to
minimize the information collection
burden on respondents, such as use of
automated means of collection of the
information. A summary of the public
comments will accompany our
submission of the information collection
requests to OMB.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that

Notice of Intent To Amend the Cascade
Resource Management Plan (RMP) and
the Kuna and Bruneau Management
Framework Plans (MFP) for the
Bruneau, Four Rivers Field Offices in
Idaho and the Associated
Environmental Assessment
AGENCY:

Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.
Notice of Intent.

ACTION:

In compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 as amended (NEPA), and the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976 as amended, the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) Boise District
Office, Boise, Idaho, intends to prepare
Resource Management Plan (RMP) and
Management Framework Plan (MFP)
amendments with an associated
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
Bruneau and Four Rivers Field Offices
and by this notice announcing the
beginning of the scoping process to
solicit public comments and identify
issues.. The amendments would clarify
the subset of lands, designated as
eligible or potentially eligible for
disposal, that meet FLPMA’s Section
203 sale criteria. The BLM Boise District
Office will also analyze approximately
1,600 acres of public land, currently
identified as Category I (retention), for
reclassification as suitable for sale under
FLPMA Section 203, exchange or
Recreation and Public Purpose patent.
This reclassification could result in a
net benefit to BLM programs and aid in
blocking up State and Federal
management units. The BLM will apply
Section 203 criteria to determine
whether the parcels will be considered
eligible for disposal through sale or
through exchange or Recreation and
Public Purposes (R&PP) Act conveyance
or leases.
DATES: This notice initiates the public
scoping process for the RMP and MFP
amendments with associated EA.
Comments on issues may be submitted
in writing until November 19, 2012. In
order to be included in the analysis, all
comments must be received prior to the
close of the 30-day scoping period or 30
days after the last public meeting,
whichever is later. We will provide
additional opportunities for public
participation as appropriate.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
on issues and planning criteria related

You will receive a reply during normal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
document provides notice that the BLM,
Boise District Office, Boise, Idaho,
intends to prepare RMP and MFP
amendments with an associated EA to
analyze proposed amendments to the
1983 Bruneau MFP, the 1983 Kuna
MFP, and the 1988 Cascade RMP,
announces the beginning of the scoping
process, and seeks public input on
issues and planning criteria. The
planning areas are located in Ada,
Adams, Boise, Canyon, Elmore, Gem,
Valley, and Washington counties in
Idaho and encompasses approximately
780,000 acres of public land. The
purpose of the public scoping process is
to determine relevant issues that will
influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the planning
process.
Preliminary issues for the plan
amendment areas have been identified
by BLM personnel; Federal, State, and
local agencies; and other stakeholders.
The issues include:
(1) Identify lands currently designated
as eligible or potentially eligible for
disposal, that also meet FLPMA Section
203 sale criteria (43 U.S.C. 1713(a)). The
land disposal classifications within each
of the above land use plans fail to
identify parcels of public land that have
been evaluated for disposal by sale

Frm 00030

Fmt 4703

under FLPMA Section 203. The quoted
language from each of the plans would
be clarified in these amendments so that
public lands currently designated as
‘‘potentially eligible’’ for disposal are
designated as either eligible through
sale or not. The proposed amendments
would not change the BLM’s ability to
dispose of those lands through
exchange, R&PP Act leases or other
means of conveyance, or to retain them;
and
(2) Analyze the reclassification to
‘‘available for disposal,’’ approximately
1,600 acres presently classified for
‘‘retention’’ in the Kuna MFP.
Preliminary planning criteria are
FLPMA’s Section 203 sale criteria for
the clairification parcels and BLM’s
planning handbook (H–1601–1) for the
reclassification parcels. The
clairification and reclassification would
not have any on-the-ground impacts so
no other preliminary planning criteria
are being considered.
Disposal of BLM parcels considered
suitable for conveyance by sale or other
accepted methods may lead to economic
benefits to the local community, while
blocking up Federal and State
management units in the area. Pursuant
to Section 1505 of the Omnibus Public
Land Management Act of 2009, Public
Law 111–11, the proceeds from the sale
of eligible parcels could allow BLM to
acquire lands that are of higher social,
cultural or environmental value, and/or
could be more efficiently and
economically managed. Any
determination of the suitability of
identified BLM parcels for disposal,
however, would not remove the BLM’s
obligation to carry out a detailed
environmental analysis prior to any
proposed sale, exchange, issuance of an
R&PP Act lease, or conveyance through
any other means. Nor would it change
BLM’s authority to retain those lands
under Federal management.
The public is invited to provide
scoping comments on the above
mentioned issues, as well as other
issues that should be addressed in the
preparation of the plan amendments.
You may submit comments on issues
and planning criteria in writing to the
BLM at any public scoping meeting, or
you may submit them to the BLM using
one of the methods listed in the
ADDRESSES section above. To be most
helpful, you should submit comments
by the close of the 30-day scoping
period or within 30 days after the last
public meeting, whichever is later.
