The joint management area is located in eastern Oregon within Grant County between the towns of Dayville, Mount Vernon and Seneca. It lies north of the Izee Highway (County Road 63), south of Aldrich Mountain, east of the South Fork John Day River and west of Flagtail Mountain. The joint management area contains 108,488 acres of Federal (public) lands. State and privately held lands that lie with- in the joint management area are not included in the analysis. The NEPA process will consist of two environmental analyses, referred to as Phase I and Phase II. This Phase I environmental analysis will result in a decision for each agency that establishes an appro- priate management level and a Herd Management Area Plan. The proposed action includes establishing an appropriate management level for the herd, and population and habitat objectives. Some im- plementation objectives are specified to guide progress toward at- taining the proposed population and habitat objectives, along with monitoring and adaptive measures to adjust management over time (Phase I). Decisions to implement specific actions to achieve im- plementation objectives would be addressed in subsequent NEPA analyses (Phase II). This environmental analysis will not include decisions regarding specific actions to implement wild horse pop- ulation management to achieve the appropriate management level. Detailed proposed action documents can be accessed on the Forest Service website at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=44570 or you can request a copy by contacting the Malheur National Forest, Marion Mahaffey, Range NEPA Coordinator, at 541-575-3302 or 541-575-3000. The preferred method to submit written comments is electronically to the Comment Analysis and Response Applica- tion (CARA) database at: https://cara.ecosystem-management.org/ Public/CommentInput?project=44570 Alternatively, written com- ments concerning the project may be submitted to: District Ranger Bob Foxworth, Blue Mountain Ranger District, 431 Patterson Bridge Road, PO Box 909, John Day, OR 97845, or facsimile (FAX) com- ments to: 541-575-3158. Hand-delivered comments must be submit- ted during business hours between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, to 431 Patterson Bridge Road, John Day, Oregon. Written comments shall include your name, address, and (if possi- ble) telephone number; organization represented if any, title of the document on which the comment is being submitted and specific facts or comments along with supporting reasons you believe the Responsible Official should consider in reaching a decision, and your signature. For objection eligibility each individual or representa- tive from each entity must either sign the comments or verify identity upon request. In cases using an electronic message, a scanned sig- nature is one way to provide verification. Comments received in re- sponse to this solicitation, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be considered part of the public record on this proposed action and will be available for public inspection. Com- ments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered. Additionally, pursuant to 7 CFR 1.27(d), any person may request the agency to hold a submission from the public record by showing how Freedom of Information Act permits such confidentiality. Request for confidentiality may be granted in only very limited circumstances. The proposed project is subject to the objection process pursuant to 36 CFR part 218, subparts A and B. Written scoping comments made on this proposal can be submitted up to 30 days following the publication of the legal notice in the Blue Mountain Eagle (newspa- per of record). Computation of the 30 day time period for this desig- nated opportunity for comment will follow 36 CFR Part 218.6. The publication date in the Blue Mountain Eagle is the exclusive means for calculating the comment period for this proposal. Those wish- ing to comment should not rely on dates or timeframe information provided by any other source. Only individuals and entities who have submitted specific written comments related to the proposed Murderer’s Creek Wild Horse Herd Management Area Plan Project during a designated opportunity for public comment may file an ob- jection (36 CFR 218.5(a)(b)). The project includes Forest Plan amendments subject to 36 CFR Part 219 regulations on objections. For further information, contact: Marion Mahaffey, Range NEPA Co- ordinator, at 541-575-3302
