Despite the rules being reversed by an act of congress, wilderness groups are filing lawsuits to force land managers to complete Travel Management Planning on BLM land, and Utah is in the crosshairs. Environmental groups have found a way to push Tavel Management Planning through regardless of our narrow victories. Utah needs your help.ĭespite all of this, our neighbors in Utah are in trouble. In fact, the bureau has been working on our behalf to designate and sign new trails without a travel management plan. Travel Management on BLM land has since stopped, and further investigation with local BLM offices has confirmed that. The BLM issues this document to effect the removal of any amendments, deletions or other modifications made by the nullified rule, and the reversion to the text of the regulations in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Planning 2.0 Rule. The final decision was published in the Federal Register on December 21, 2017, and reads as follows:īy operation of the Congressional Review Act (CRA), the Resource Management Planning Rule (Planning 2.0 Rule) shall be treated as if it had never taken effect. The Congressional Review Act was used to nullify regulations that, among other things, resulted in the Bureau closing roads. It nullified the Bureau of Land Management Resource Management 2.0 plan put in place by the Obama administration during his last few weeks in office. As a result, the Trump Administration passed House Joint Resolution 44. In 2017 a Mohave county supervisor took the issue to Washington. We were able to organize and beat these closures. Throughout the past 3 years, Arizona has faced nearly 10,000 miles of backroad closures on BLM land. The process is meant to designate certain roads for certain uses and decide what backroads will remain open. It’s somewhat of a grand finale that incorporates the decisions of various management plans. Travel Management is the process where federal land managers create a system of roads for motorized use. We thought that we had beat Travel Management planning on Bureau of Land Management land, but environmental groups have found another way to force it through.
