Annotation: This document is a scoping report for the Supplement to the Montana Statewide Oil and Gas Final Environmental Impact Statement and Amendment of the Powder River and Billings Resource Management Plans. The Bureau of Land Management is required to create Resource Management Plans to determine management of BLM lands, and scoping is the earliest stage of this process, in which the BLM identifies issues to be analyzed in the Resource Management Plan. The BLM must manage its lands in accordance with its Resource Management Plans. If the BLM wants to take action on its lands that contradicts the Resource Management Plan, the Plan must be amended to allow that activity.
