Abstract: Public Law 97–258 (31
U.S.C. 6901–6907), as amended, the
Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) Act,

was designed by Congress to help local
governments recover some of the
expenses they incur in providing
services on public lands. These local
governments receive funds under
various Federal land payment programs
such as the National Forest Revenue
Act, the Mineral Lands Leasing Act, and
the Taylor Grazing Act. PILT payments
supplement the payments local
governments receive under these other
programs.
The PILT Act requires the Governor of
each state to furnish the Department of
the Interior with a listing of payments
disbursed to local governments by the
States on behalf of the Federal
Government under 12 statutes described
in Section 6903 of 31 U.S.C. The
Department of the Interior uses the
amounts reported by States to reduce
PILT payments to units of general local
governments from that which they
might otherwise receive. If such listings
were not furnished by the Governor of
each affected State, the Department
would not be able to compute the PILT
payments to units of general local
government within the States in
question.
In fiscal year 2004, administrative
authority for the PILT program was
transferred from the Bureau of Land
Management to the Office of the
Secretary of the Department of the
Interior. Applicable DOI regulations
pertaining to the PILT program to be
administered by the Office of the
Secretary were published as a final rule
in the Federal Register on December 7,
2004 (69 FR 70557). The Office of
Budget, Office of the Secretary is now
planning to extend the information
collection approval authority in order to
enable the Department of the Interior to
continue to comply with the PILT Act.
Title of Collection: Payments in Lieu
of Taxes (PILT) Act, Statement of
Federal Lands Payments.
OMB Control Number: 1093–0005.

Conservation, proposed the BOSH
Project to treat up to 617,000 acres of
early-stage western juniper
encroachment in southwestern Idaho.
The conversion of sagebrush-steppe
communities to juniper woodlands is a
major threat to greater sage-grouse in
southwestern Idaho. As junipers
encroach into sagebrush habitat,
sagebrush-steppe vegetation eventually
dies because it is unable to compete
with junipers for water, nutrients, space
and sunlight.
The BLM will use several treatment
methods to remove early-stage western
juniper, include hand-cutting,
prescribed fire and mastication.
The BLM began meeting with internal
groups and external collaborators to
discuss and develop the project
proposal in 2013. The BLM held a 30day public scoping period from January
20 to February 20, 2015, to collect
comment and feedback that would aid
the BLM in project development.
Comments concerned effects to wildlife
habitat (especially sage-grouse and
migratory birds), soils, native plant
communities, sensitive plants, spread of
noxious and invasive weeds, hydrology
and riparian areas, fisheries, wilderness
values, visual resources, Areas of
Critical Environmental Concern,
recreation, cultural resources and social
values.
The BLM published the Draft EIS for
BOSH on November 18, 2016. The BLM
considered and incorporated comments
into the Final EIS. Public comments
resulted in clarifications, but did not
significantly change alternatives
considered.
In response to public comment, the
BLM (1) modified focal treatment areas
to reflect updated vegetation data and to
remove some Areas of Critical
Environmental Concern; (2) developed
Alternative C1, which expanded project
boundaries to increase connectivity
between treatment areas and include
additional habitat; (3) removed all
wilderness areas from treatment
boundaries, and (4) added a carbon
sequestration analysis.
The BLM released the Final EIS for
the BOSH Project on February 9, 2018.
On February 5, 2019, Joseph R. Balash,
the Department of the Interior’s
Assistant Secretary for Land and
Minerals Management, signed a Record
of Decision selecting Alternative C1 for
implementation. That approval
constitutes the final decision of the
Department and, in accordance with the
regulations at 43 CFR 4.410, is not
subject to appeal under Departmental
regulations found in 43 CFR part 4.
