Wyoming BLM Fire Management Plan; Notice of Availability

The Wyoming BLM fire management plan describes fire management objectives and strategies to be applied on about 17.5 million acres of BLM-administered public lands in the State of Wyoming. Covering 58 geographical areas within the State, the plan promotes the cost- effective protection of life, property, and natural resources from wildfire. It highlights the use of fire to manage natural resources, identifies fuel management strategies to reduce the potential for catastrophic wildfires, seeks a better understanding of the role of fire in the natural environment, and promotes fire line safety through increased communication and coordination. Fire management planning was formally initiated in April 1997 to comply with recommendations contained in the Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy and Program Review signed in December 1995 by the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture. The Wyoming BLM solicited and incorporated public comments in developing the fire management plan. As documented in an Administrative Determination, the ``Fire Management Implementation Plan for the BLM-administered Public Lands in the State of Wyoming'' is in conformance with the 11 Wyoming BLM land use
