Sec.  1610.4-2  Development of planning criteria.



    (a) The Field Manager will prepare criteria to guide development of 

the resource management plan or revision, to ensure:

    (1) It is tailored to the issues previously identified; and

    (2) That BLM avoids unnecessary data collection and analyses.

    (b) Planning criteria will generally be based upon applicable law, 

Director and State Director guidance, the results of public 

participation, and coordination with any cooperating agencies and other 

Federal agencies, State and local governments, and federally recognized 

Indian tribes.

    (c) BLM will make proposed planning criteria, including any 

significant changes, available for public comment prior to being 

approved by the Field Manager for use in the planning process.

    (d) BLM may change planning criteria as planning proceeds if we 

determine that public suggestions or study and assessment findings make 

such changes desirable.
