Abstract: . . .  Resource Management Plan; RNA = Research Natural Area; ROW = right-of-way; VRM = Visual Resource Management; WSA = Wilderness Study Area. The Andrews/Steens RMP is currently being revised; upon completion, it will replace the Andrews MFP and revise part of the Three Rivers RMP. The amendments listed in this table will be applied to whatever plans are in existence at the time the Record of Decision (ROD) is issued. The Upper Deschutes RMP is currently being revised; upon completion, it will replace a portion of the Brothers/LaPine RMP. The amendments listed in this table will be applied to whatever plans are in existence at the time the ROD is issued. b c B-13  . . .

Plan/Field Office Washakie RMP, Worland FO Change Programmatic policies and BMPs in the Wind Energy Development Program will be adopted. Rationale The programmatic policies and BMPs in the Wind Energy Development Program are appropriate for wind energy development activities in this planning area. a Abbreviations: ACEC = Area of Critical Environmental Concern; BMP = best management practice; CMPA = (Steens Mountain) Cooperative Management and Protection Area; MA = management area; MFP = Management Framework Plan; ONA = Outstanding National Area; RMP = Resource Management Plan; RNA = Research Natural Area; . . .

The no action and limited development alternatives do not provide the same level of assurance that comprehensive mitigation measures will be implemented across the 11 states. In addition, in terms of facilitating wind energy development, implementation of the proposed action is expected to minimize some of the delays that currently occur for wind energy development projects, ensure consistency in the ROW application and authorization process, and reduce costs. These benefits will be realized as a result of the emphasis on site-specific concerns during the project-level environmental analyses, the amendment . . .
