Land-Use Plan Revision
Based on ongoing threats to the Greater sage-grouse and its habitat throughout the West, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s schedule for making a decision whether to list the species under the Endangered Species Act, the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service have begun to revise land-use plans (LUPs) for lands that include sage-grouse habitat to incorporate consistent objectives and conservation measures into all relevant plans by September 2014.
A public comment period is underway to identify issues that should be addressed in the environmental impact statement (EIS) that will analyze the LUP revisions. View a complete schedule of meetings on the BLM's national sage-grouse website.
