DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Notice of Availability of Proposed Amendment; West
Mojave
Planning Area; California Desert Conservation Area
Plan; Off-Road
Vehicle Designations
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Department of the
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed amendment;
West Mojave Planning Area; California Desert
Conservation Area (CDCA) Plan; off-road vehicle
designations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The California Desert District of the Bureau
of Land
Management (BLM) is considering off-road vehicle
designations for the
West Mojave Desert Planning Area in accordance with
the criteria and
procedures of 43 Code of Federal Regulations subpart
8342. These
designations, when approved by BLM, will amend the
existing
designations established under the CDCA plan in the
West Mojave Area.
This planning area encompasses approximately 3.3
million acres of
public land managed by the BLM's California Desert
District, located in
Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties in
southern
California.
DATES: BLM Planning Regulations (43 CFR 1610.5-2)
state that any person
who participated in the planning process, and has an
interest that may
be adversely affected, may protest. The protest must
be received no
later than the last day of the 30-day protest period
established by the
BLM California Desert District. More specific
instructions and
requirements for protests are contained in the
SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section of this notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Instructions for filing a
protest with the
Director of the BLM may be found at 43 CFR 1610.5. Any
person who
participated in the planning process and has an
interest, which is or
may be affected by the approval of the proposed
Resource Management
Plan, may protest such approval. A protest may raise
only those issues
that were submitted for the record during the planning
process. New
issues raised in the protest period should be directed
to the West
Mojave Project Office for consideration in plan
implementation, as
potential plan amendments, or as otherwise
appropriate. Protests must
be in writing and to be considered ``timely,'' the
protest must be
received no later than the last day of the 30-day
protest period. Also,
although not a requirement, it is recommended that the
protest be sent
by certified mail, return receipt requested. E-mail
protests will not
be accepted. Faxed protests will be considered as
potential valid
protests provided (1) that the signed faxed letter is
received by the
Washington Office protest coordinator by the closing
date of the
protest period and (2) that the protesting party also
provides the
original letter by either regular or overnight mail
postmarked by the
close of the protest period. Please direct faxed
protests to ``BLM
Protest Coordinator'' at 202-452-5112. Please direct
the follow-up
letter to the appropriate address provided below. The
protest must
contain:
i. The name, mailing address, telephone number,
and interest of the
person filing the protest;
ii. A statement of the issue or issues being
protested;
iii. A statement of the part or parts of the plan
or amendment
being protested. To the extent possible, this should
be done by
reference to specific pages, paragraphs, sections,
tables, maps, etc.,
included in the proposed amendment;
iv. A copy of all documents addressing the issue
or issues that
were submitted during the planning process by the
protesting party or
an indication of the date the issue or issues were
discussed for the
record; and
v. A concise statement explaining why the State
Director's decision
is believed to be wrong. This is a critical part of
the protest. Take
care to document all relevant facts. As much as
possible, reference or
cite the planning documents, environmental analysis
documents,
available planning records (i.e., meeting minutes or
summaries,
correspondence, etc.).
A protest which merely expresses disagreement with
proposed
decision without supporting data will not provide
additional basis for
the Director's review of the decision. Please note
that comments,
including names and street addresses of respondents,
are available for
public review and/or release under the Freedom of
Information Act
(FOIA). Individual respondents may request
confidentiality.
Respondents who wish to withhold name and/or
street address from
public review or from disclosure under FOIA, must
state this
prominently at the beginning of the written comment.
Such requests will
be honored to the extent allowed by law. All
submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from individuals
identifying
themselves as representatives or officials or
organizations or
businesses, will be made available for public
inspection in their
entirety. The Director will promptly render a decision
on the protest.
The decision will be in writing and will be sent to
the protesting
party by certified mail, return receipt requested. The
decision of the
Director shall be the final decision of the Department
of the Interior.
