Below is a list of the types of information found in each volume of the IAP/EIS. VOLUME 1 Chapter 1 – Introduction: Summarizes the purpose of and need for this IAP/EIS and decisions to be made. Chapter 2 – Alternatives: Describes and compares proposed management alternatives. Chapter 3 – Affected Environment: Presents existing natural and socioeconomic resources in the NPR-A and trends, including those associated with climate change. VOLUME 2 Chapter 4 – Environmental Consequences (sections 4.1 – 4.6): Evaluates impacts of the alternatives on resources and uses in the NPR-A and the cumulative and other effects relevant to making a decision among the alternatives. VOLUME 3 Chapter 4 – Environmental Consequences (continued: sections 4.7 – 4.12). VOLUME 4 Chapter 5 – Consultation and Coordination: Describes public and government (including tribal) consultation undertaken for this plan and the development of alternatives and lists the plan’s preparers.

This outreach included keeping the public and agencies informed of the process and offered opportunities for the public and agencies to express their concerns and suggest how the BLM should proceed. The section also identifies the individuals who prepared the IAP/EIS. 5.2 Scoping 5.2.1 Formal Scoping Formal scoping began on July 28, 2010, with the publication in the Federal Register of a Notice of Intent to prepare an Integrated Activity Plan and Environmental Impact Statement. The Notice of Intent notified the public of the beginning of the scoping process, described that process, identified preliminary issues for analysis in the planning process, and provided information on means to submit scoping comments. The BLM launched a website for the plan on July 28 on which it furnished the public with background information on NPR-A, past planning efforts in NPR-A, and additional information on how to submit scoping comments. The agency also mailed
