Bill > HR1997

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to reissue nine specific Records of Decision (RODs) and Resource Management Plans (RMPs) within 60 days of the Act's enactment. These RODs and RMPs cover various Bureau of Land Management (BLM) field offices in states like Colorado, Wyoming, and Oregon, and address land management strategies for areas including oil and gas management, big game habitat conservation, and sage-grouse habitat. The bill specifies which alternative (A, B, or C) should be selected as the preferred alternative for each document. Additionally, the bill declares that these reissued documents will automatically satisfy legal requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act, and explicitly states that no further environmental analysis is needed. This legislation appears aimed at streamlining and standardizing land management decisions across multiple BLM field offices, potentially facilitating more consistent approaches to resource management and development.
