SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM is adopting the Final EIS for the
Barred Owl Management Strategy prepared by the FWS (89 FR 55647, July
5, 2024) in order to implement barred owl management control on BLM-
administered lands within the range of the northern spotted owl (NSO)
in western Oregon, consistent with the FWS ROD (89 FR 72881, September
6, 2024). The FWS ROD includes the issuance of a Special Purpose permit
under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act for implementation of the barred
owl management strategy. On BLM-administered lands covered by the FWS
ROD, the BLM will implement the strategy as a designee under the FWS
Migratory Bird Special Purpose permit.
The BLM is adopting the FWS Final EIS without republication,
consistent with 40 CFR 1506.3(b)(2).
There have been no changes made to the selected alternative between
the publication of the FEIS and the ROD.
The Department of the Interior has approved the BLM's decision.
Approval of the Record of Decision therefore constitutes the final
decision of the Department of the Interior and is not subject to appeal
under Departmental regulations at 43 CFR part 4.
(Authority: 40 CFR 1501.9).
Barry R. Bushue,
BLM Oregon/Washington State Director.
