    The 7.9 million acre NEMO planning area encompasses Death Valley 
National Park, the Mojave National Preserve, and 2 million acres of 
BLM-managed public lands adjacent to and between the two National Park 
Service (NPS) Units. The BLM and NPS are preparing separate management 
plans for the three management units to clarify each agency's 
alternatives and management objectives for each unit and reduce the 
size of the documents.
    Final planning documents will include a general management plan for 
the Mojave National Preserve, an amended general management plan for 
Death Valley National Park, and an amendment to the BLM's California 
Desert Conservation Area Plan.
