Sec.  1610.5-1  Resource management plan approval and administrative review.



    (a) The proposed resource management plan or revision shall be 

submitted by the Field Manager to the State Director for supervisory 

review and approval. When the review is completed the State Director 

shall either publish the proposed plan and file the related 

environmental impact statement or return the plan to the Field Manager 

with a written statement of the problems to be resolved before the 

proposed plan can be published.

    (b) No earlier than 30 days after the Environmental Protection 

Agency publishes a notice of the filing of the final environmental 

impact statement in the Federal Register, and pending final action on 

any protest that may be filed, the State Director shall approve the 

plan. Approval shall be withheld on any portion of a plan or amendment 

being protested until final action has been completed on such protest. 

Before such approval is given, there shall be public notice and 

opportunity for public comment on any significant change made to the 

proposed plan. The approval shall be documented in a concise public 

record of the decision, meeting the requirements of regulations for the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (40 CFR 1505.2).
