Title: Leasing may be deferred where development is in unsuitable habitats.
Text: Leasing recommendations for habitat categories in the PPA: "4. Additionally, in keeping with the definitions and item 5 below, leasing may be deferred or stipulated in certain instances where development in unsuitable or potentially suitable habitat would extend an impact/avoidance zone into suitable habitat. Such exceptions to the general rule for unsuitable and potentially suitable habitat will be identified and discussed in the ongoing management conversation between the BLM and industry."
