and makes the Approved RMP effective

workshops. The BLM worked with
cooperators from six Federal agencies,
including the National Marine Fisheries
Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service; three state agencies; and eight
county governments. The BLM also
consulted, on a government-togovernment basis, with three federally

recognized tribes with interests in the
planning area. The RMP provides
management direction for 456,600 acres
of public land. The Approved RMP
describes the actions that will meet
desired resource conditions for soil,
vegetation, water quality, aquatic
habitat, and wildlife habitat; protects
cultural resources, visual resources,
Wild and Scenic River values,
Wilderness areas, and Areas of Critical
Environmental Concern; and provides
opportunities for recreation,
transportation, livestock grazing, rightsof-way, and energy and mineral
development. The preferred alternative
published October 2008 in the Draft
RMP/Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) was carried forward as the
Proposed RMP in the Final EIS with
minor modifications. The Proposed
RMP/EIS was published in April 2012,
and the BLM received three protest
letters. After careful consideration of all
points raised in those protests, the BLM
Director concluded that the BLM
followed all applicable laws,
regulations, policies, and pertinent
resource considerations in developing
the proposed plan. Responses were sent
from the BLM Director to all protesting
parties to address their concerns. The
BLM’s protest summary report is
available on the Prineville District Web
page at: http://www.blm.gov/or/
districts/prineville/plans/johndayrmp/
jdbsupportdocs.
The Governor of Oregon was provided
a formal, 60-day review period to
determine if the Proposed RMP/EIS is
consistent with existing state or local
plans, programs, or policies. No
inconsistencies were identified. In
preparing the Approved RMP, the BLM
applied the seasonal wildlife closures
considered in Alternatives 4 and 5 to
the 3,970-acre area identified as an
Open Off-highway Vehicle (OHV)
designation in the Rudio Mountain area.
As a result, the OHV designation was
also changed to Limited. All other
changes were minor editorial
modifications.
There are several implementation
decisions in the Approved RMP which
are appealable under 43 CFR part 4: (a)
Limits on decibels, hours of operation,
and class of OHV at Little Canyon
Mountain; (b) interim management plan
for Spring Basin Wilderness; (c) interim
management direction for the portion of
the North Fork John Day River
determined to be suitable for
designation as a Wild and Scenic River;
(d) management plan for the existing
wild and scenic river designations on
the John Day River; (e) seasonal area and
route closures; and (f) decisions
identifying routes of travel for

motorized vehicles. Any party adversely
affected may appeal within 30 days of
publication of this Notice of
Availability. The appeal should state the
specific decision(s) being appealed. The
appeal must be filed with the Central
Oregon Field Manager at the above
listed address. Please consult the
appropriate regulations (43 CFR part 4,
subpart E) for further appeal
requirements.
