Resource Abstract:
- description: This data set was created to depict land tenure allocations from the BLM Greater Sage-Grouse Land Use Planning
Strategy in the Utah Sub-Region. This data was developed to reflect the land tenure actions (MA-LR-9 and MA-LR-10) of the
final agency decision to amend 14 BLM land use plans throughout the State of Utah. This planning process was initiated through
issuance of a Notice of Intent published on December 6, 2011. This dataset is associated with the Record of Decision and Approved
Resource Management Plan Amendments for the Great Basin Region, released to the public via a Notice of Availability on September
24, 2015. The purpose of the planning process was to address protection of greater sage-grouse, in partial response to a March
2010 decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) that found the greater sage-grouse was eligible for listing under
the authorities of the Endangered Species Act. The planning process resulted in preparation of a draft environmental impact
statement (DEIS) and final environmental impact statement (FEIS) in close coordination with cooperating agencies for the planning
effort. The planning effort addressed the adequacy of regulatory mechanisms found in the land use plans, as well as addressing
the myriad threats to grouse and their habitat that were identified by the FWS. This data set displays the decision that federal
lands within priority and general habitat management areas will be retained in federal ownership, pending documentation of
criteria noted in MA-LR-9 of the ROD/ARMPA. Note that further site-specific analysis of the any parcels would be required
prior to disposal. The parcel data has been obtained from approved land use plans as of May 2012, and consolidated into a
statewide data set. In Section 102 of FLPMA Congress declared: "it is the policy of the United States that the public
lands be retained in Federal ownership, unless as a result of the land use planning...it is determined that disposal of a
particular parcel will serve the national interest" (43 U.S.C. 1701 (a)(1)). While not originally mapped as retention
areas in the land use plans, public lands are managed according to this Congressional direction, as well as disposal authorities
in FLPMA Sections 203 and 206 and other non-FLPMA legal disposal authorities. Land tenure adjustments in Priority Habitat
Management Areas and General Habitat Management Areas would also be consistent with the land use plan direction. Credits:
