ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act 
(NEPA), the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), the King 
Range Act and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) management policies, 
the BLM announces the availability of the RMP/ROD for the King Range 
National Conservation Area located in Humboldt and Mendocino Counties, 
California. California State Director Mike Pool will sign the RMP/ROD, 
which becomes effective immediately upon this signing.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the King Range NCA RMP/ROD are available upon 
request from the Field Manager, Arcata Field Office, Bureau of Land 
Management, 1695 Heindon Road, Arcata, CA 95521 or via the Internet at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The King Range NCA RMP/ROD was developed 
with broad public participation through a two year collaborative 
planning process. This RMP/ROD addresses management on approximately 
62,000 acres of public land in the planning area. The King Range NCA 
RMP/ROD is designed to achieve or maintain desired future conditions 
developed through the planning process. It includes a series of 
management actions to meet the desired resource conditions for upland 
and riparian vegetation, wildlife habitats, cultural and visual 
resources, livestock grazing, coastal resources, and recreation.
    The approved King Range NCA RMP is essentially the same as the 
Proposed Plan Alternative in the Proposed King Range NCA RMP/Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (PRMP/FEIS), published in November, 
2004. No inconsistencies with State or local plans, policies, or 
programs were identified during the Governor Consistency review of the 
PRMP/FEIS. BLM received four protests to the PRMP/FEIS. Minor editorial 
modifications were made in preparing the RMP/ROD as a result of the 
protests. These modifications corrected errors that were noted in 
protests and during review of the PRMP/FEIS and provide further 
clarification for some of the decisions. An errata sheet is included 
with the RMP/ROD that identifies the location of the corrections in the 
PRMP/FEIS.

Donald J. Holmstrom,
Acting Arcata Field Manager.
