Writing Comments Without NEPA Regulations
These tools will train participants to write strong, effective comments in response to BLM Resource Management Plans (RMPs) and other implementation activities without relying on weakened NEPA regulations. The materials presented focus on using enduring statutory authorities—FLPMA, NHPA, and National Conservation Lands laws—to ground comments in legal requirements that remain intact. Further, we’ll discuss high-level talking points to keep campaigns on message, rather than succumbing to distracting announcements from the administration.
Key Objectives:
Learn how to utilize enduring legal mandates to write strong comments.
Use FLPMA’s multiple-use and sustained yield requirements and the laws and mission of the National Conservation Lands to challenge extraction-heavy plans.
Emphasize NHPA’s consultation obligations and the need to protect cultural/historic resources.
About our presenters:
