SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SMAC was established August 14, 2001,
pursuant to the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection
Act of 2000 (Steens Act) (Pub. L. 106-399). The SMAC provides
recommendations to the BLM regarding new and unique approaches to
management of the land within the bounds of the Steens Mountain
Cooperative Management and Protection Area (CMPA), recommends
cooperative programs and incentives for landscape management that meet
human needs, and advises the BLM on potential maintenance and
improvement of the ecological and economic integrity of the area.
The SMAC's Recreation and Visitor Use Subcommittee was established
in 2019 and serves to gather information, conduct research, and analyze
recreation and/or visitor use issues in the Steens Mountain CMPA.
Issues could relate to parking, hiking, motorized or non-motorized use,
camping, access, signage, interpretation, restrooms/sanitation, and
trail development and maintenance. The Subcommittee reviews all aspects
of any recreation issue, formulates suggestions for remedy, and
proposes those solutions to the entire SMAC for further discussion and
possible recommendation to the BLM. No decisions are made at the
subcommittee level.
Agenda items for the June 9, 2022, virtual meeting include: A
recreation program update; information sharing from the Designated
Federal Official; reviewing alternatives for the Bridge Creek Allotment
Management Plans Environmental Impact Statement; and an opportunity for
Subcommittee members to share information from their constituents and
present research. Any other matters that may reasonably come before the
Subcommittee may also be included.
A public comment period is available at 1:15 p.m. Depending on the
number of people wishing to comment and the time available, the amount
of time for oral comments may be limited. Sessions may end early if all
business items are accomplished ahead of schedule or may be extended if
discussions warrant more time. All meetings, including virtual
sessions, are open to the public in their entirety. Written public
comments may be sent to the BLM Burns District Office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice or emailed to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4a3e3e222339392f26260a282627642d253c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0672726e6f7575636a6a46646a6b28616970">[email protected]</span></a>. All
