The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) requires the BLM to consider significant environmental impacts prior to approval of actions on public lands. When an activity or action is proposed within the UFO, BLM staff conduct an interdisciplinary review of the potential environmental impacts in order to make more informed decisions and identify actions to protect, restore, and enhance the environment.

This register is updated weekly and as needed.
For more information on these actions, contact NEPA Coordinator Bruce Krickbaum, at (970)240-5384.
