Notice of Intent to Prepare Additional Air Quality Analysis 
Information for the Little Snake Draft Resource Management Plan and 
Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS)

AGENCY: Little Snake Field Office, Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 
amended (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM), Little Snake Field Office, Colorado, announces its intent to 
prepare additional air quality information. On February 9, 2007, the 
BLM published a Notice of Availability in the Federal Register (Vol. 
72, No. 27, pages 6284-6285) announcing the release of the Draft EIS 
for public review and comment. The 90-day comment period closed May 16, 
2007. During the public comment period, the Environmental Protection 
Agency, in consultation with BLM, identified areas where additional air 
quality information would improve the existing analysis in the Draft 
EIS. As a result, the BLM is preparing an additional air quality 
analysis. When the additional air quality analysis has been completed, 
the BLM will present the information for public review and comment. At 
that time, BLM will only accept comments from the public pertaining to 
the new air quality information.

DATES: The BLM anticipates making the additional air quality analysis 
information available to the public for a 45-day comment period around 
May 2008. The BLM will publish a Notice of Availability in the Federal 
Register when the additional air quality analysis is ready for release 
for public comment. Announcements will also be made through local media 
by news releases and posted information on the Little Snake Resource 
Management Plan Revision Web site: http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/lsfo/plans/rmp_revision.html.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeremy Casterson, Project Manager, 
Little Snake Field Office, 455 Emerson St., Craig, Colorado 81625, or 
by telephone at (970) 826-5071.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public comments submitted on the additional 
air quality analysis for the Draft EIS, including names, e-mail 
addresses, and street addresses of the respondents, will be available 
for public review and disclosure at the above address during regular 
office business hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday, 
except holidays. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you 
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal 
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time. 
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.

    Dated: December 12, 2007.
Sally Wisely,
State Director.
