Proposed Decision Record and Finding of No Significant Impact for the Continuation of Interim Strategies for Managing Anadromous Fish- Producing Watersheds in Eastern Oregon and Washington and Idaho

概要

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (40 CFR 1502.2), and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, (43 CFR 1610.3-2 and 1610.5-3), the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), provides notice of availability of the Proposed Decision Record and Finding of No Significant Impact for the Extension of the Interim Strategies for Managing Anadromous Fish- producing Watersheds in Eastern Oregon and Washington and Idaho. This program has generally been known as the PACFISH strategy. The proposed continuation of the interim PACFISH strategies will provide the framework to guide supplemental protective measures and analysis procedures for all applicable land and resource allocations and management direction until the long term strategy of the Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project (ICBEMP) is complete. This is expected to be for the next 1 to 2 years in the applicable portions of the Prineville, Vale and Spokane Districts in eastern Oregon and Washington and all Bureau managed lands in Idaho. This proposed decision extends the original PACFISH strategy originally approved for an 18 month period in early 1995.
