Notice of Availability of the Record of Decision for the Coeur 
d'Alene Resource Management Plan (RMP)/Environmental Impact Statement 
(EIS)

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Record of Decision (ROD).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act 
(NEPA), the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), and BLM 
Policy, the BLM announces the availability of the RMP/ROD for the Coeur 
d'Alene Field Office located in Idaho. The Idaho State Director signed 
the ROD on June 29, 2007, and it is effective as of that date.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Coeur d'Alene ROD/RMP are available upon 
request from the Coeur d'Alene Field Office, Bureau of Land Management, 
ATTN: RMP, 3815 Schreiber Way, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83815, or via the 
internet at http://www.blm.gov/rmp/id/cda/.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Pavey, Spokane District Office, 
1103 North Fancher, Spokane Valley, Washington 99212, (208) 769-5059, 
or e-mail [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coeur d'Alene RMP was developed with 
broad public participation through a three year collaborative planning 
process. This RMP addresses management on approximately 97,900 acres of 
public land in the planning area. The Coeur d'Alene RMP 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 forest, upland, and riparian 
vegetation; wildlife habitats; cultural and visual resources; and 
recreation. The approved Coeur d'Alene RMP is essentially the same as 
Alternative D in the Proposed RMP/Final Environmental Impact Statement 
(PRMP/FEIS), published in October 2006.
    The BLM received two protests to the PRMP/FEIS which the Director 
of BLM resolved without requiring significant changes to proposed 
decisions in the PRMP/FEIS. No inconsistencies with State or local 
plans, policies, or programs were identified during the Governor's 
consistency review of the PRMP/FEIS. Thus, as a result of the lack of 
substantive comments in the protest and consistency review stages, only 
minor editorial modifications were made in preparing the ROD/RMP. These 
modifications corrected errors that were noted during review of the 
PRMP/FEIS and provide further clarification for some of the decisions.
    The RMP includes decisions identifying designated routes of travel 
for motorized vehicles, which are implementation level decisions and 
are therefore appealable under 43 CFR Part 4. These decisions (route 
identifications) are displayed on travel management maps in the ROD/
RMP. Any party adversely affected by these route identifications may 
appeal within 30 days of publication of this Notice of Availability, 
pursuant to 43 CFR part 4, subpart E. The appeal should identify the 
specific route(s) by township, range, and section on which the decision 
is being appealed. Please consult the appropriate regulations (43 CFR 
part 4, subpart E) for further appeal requirements. The appeal must be 
filed with the Field Manager of the Coeur d'Alene Field Office at the 
above listed address.
    Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or 
other personal identifying information in your appeal, you should be 
aware that your entire appeal--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your appeal to withhold your personal identifying information 
from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Thomas H. Dyer,
Bureau of Land Management, Idaho State Director.
