Abstract
In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976, as amended, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) California intends to prepare a supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS) and a potential resource management plan (RMP) amendment for the Bakersfield Field Office. The supplemental EIS will analyze the impacts of oil and gas leasing and development on BLM- managed public land and mineral estate in the Bakersfield Field Office planning area exclusive of the California Coastal National Monument and the Carrizo Plain National Monument. Lands withdrawn from mineral entry by law, including national monuments and designated wilderness areas, would remain unavailable for leasing and development. This notice initiates the process to solicit public comments to identify issues and announces a potential RMP amendment.
