SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Carson City District Draft RMP/Draft EIS 
would replace the existing 2001 Carson City Field Office Consolidated 
RMP. The Draft RMP/Draft EIS was developed through a collaborative 
planning process. The Carson City District Draft RMP/Draft EIS decision 
area encompasses approximately 4.8 million acres of public land 
administered by the BLM Carson City District in portions of 11 counties 
within 2 States (Washoe, Storey, Carson City, Douglas, Lyon, Churchill, 
Mineral, and Nye counties within Nevada; and Alpine, Plumas, and Lassen 
counties within California). It does not include private lands, State 
lands, Indian reservations, Federal lands not administered by BLM. The 
Carson City District Draft RMP/Draft EIS includes goals, objectives and 
management actions for protecting and preserving natural resources 
which includes air quality, soil and water resources, vegetation, fish 
and wildlife, special status species, wild horses and burros, wildland 
fire management, cultural and paleontological resources, visual 
resource values, and lands with wilderness characteristics. Multiple 
resource uses are addressed which include management and forage 
allocations for livestock grazing; delineation of lands open, closed, 
or subject to special stipulations or mitigation measures for minerals 
development; recreation and travel management designations; management 
of lands and realty actions, including delineation of avoidance and 
exclusion areas applicable to rights-of-ways (ROWs), land tenure 
adjustments, and solar and wind energy development. The planning effort 
will consider establishment of a national trail management corridor for 
the congressionally-designated California and Pony Express National 
Historic Trails. Eligible river segments will be evaluated for 
suitability as components of the National Wild and Scenic River System 
and 23 new Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs) are 
proposed. The ACECs are proposed to protect natural and cultural 
resource values and traditional Native American use areas.

    Authority:  40 CFR 1506.6, 40 CFR 1506.10, 43 CFR 1610.2.
