If you have Internet access, you can download the Addendum by going to 
http://www.blm.gov/grazing and follow the directions found at that 
site.
    During the nine years since implementation of the 1995 grazing 
reforms, a number of discrete concerns have been raised regarding the 
administration of grazing management. Among other things, the 
rulemaking addresses a variety of these discrete, administrative issues 
related to the current regulatory scheme without altering the 
fundamental structure of the grazing regulations.
    The BLM published the proposed rule on December 8, 2003 (68 FR 
68452), inviting public comments until February 6, 2004. On January 2, 
2004, the BLM issued the Draft EIS for a 60-day public comment period 
which was extended on January 16, 2004 to March 2, 2004 (69 FR 2559). 
The Final Environmental Impact Statement was issued December 2004.

    Authority: 40 CFR 1506(b).

 Julie Jacobson,
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
