territories, as well as interferometric
synthetic aperture radar (ifsar) data over
Alaska. The 3DEP initiative is based on
the results of the National Enhanced
Elevation Assessment (NEEA), which
indicated an optimal benefit to cost ratio
for Quality Level 2 (QL2) data collected
over 8-years to complete national
coverage. The implementation model for
3DEP is based on multi-agency
partnership funding for acquisition,
with the USGS acting in a lead program
management role to facilitate planning
and acquisition for the broader
community, through the use of
government contracts and partnership
agreements. The annual Broad Agency
Announcement (BAA) is a competitive
solicitation issued to facilitate the
collection of lidar and derived elevation
data for the 3D Elevation Program
(3DEP). Federal agencies, state and local
governments, tribes, academic
institutions and the private sector are
eligible to submit proposals. The 3DEP
public webinars will introduce this
opportunity to the broadest stakeholder
community possible and provide a
summary of the BAA application
procedures. Advanced Registration is
required. National Webinars will be
recorded and made available for
viewing.

BIA’s Navajo Partitioned Land office.
The burden hours for this continued
collection of information are reflected in
the Estimated Total Annual Hour
Burden in this notice.

information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Ways we could enhance the quality,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The MLP/
Proposed RMP Amendments/Final EIS
would change the management
direction for the leasing of oil, gas and
potash in portions of the Moab and
Monticello plan areas. The MLP
planning area encompasses 785,000
acres of public lands in southeast Utah
in Grand and San Juan Counties. The
planning area is located south of
Interstate 70 and adjoins the town of
Moab and Arches National Park. The
western boundary is the Green River
and the northeastern boundary of
Canyonlands National Park. To the
south of Moab, the planning area
includes the Indian Creek/Lockhart
Basin/Hatch Point area between
Canyonlands National Park and
Highway 191. Land uses and values
within the planning area include
substantial potash resources, proven oil
and gas resources, world class scenery,
and both developed and back-country
recreational opportunities. In addition,
the planning area is immediately
adjacent to Arches and Canyonlands
National Parks. This unique
combination of values means the
planning area contributes to the local
economy both through tourism and
mineral extraction.
The BLM has prepared a MLP/
Proposed RMP Amendments/Final EIS
in accordance with the BLM
Washington Office Instruction
Memorandum (IM No. 2010–117: Oil
and Gas Leasing Reform—Land Use
Planning and Lease Parcel Reviews
(May 17, 2010)) and the BLM Handbook
H–1624–1: Planning for Fluid Mineral
Resources, Chapter V, Master Leasing
Plans (January 28, 2013). As the
Handbook explains, an MLP is a plan
that includes analysis of a distinct
geographic area that takes a closelyfocused look at RMP decisions
pertaining to leasing and post-leasing
development of the area. Although the
IM and the Handbook pertain to oil and
gas leasing decisions, the BLM
determined that the MLP concepts are
also applicable to potash leasing
decisions due to the nature of potash
exploration and development in the
planning area. Therefore, the MLP
process provides additional planning
and analysis for areas prior to new
leasing of oil and gas and potash. The
MLP/Proposed RMP Amendments/Final
EIS analyzes likely mineral
development scenarios and land use
plan alternatives with varying
mitigation levels for leasing.
The MLP/Proposed RMP
Amendments/Final EIS includes a range
