Will the legislative direction for the BLM to coordinate with “science reviews” conducted by the Board of Directors slow down or interfere with the BLM’s existing planning and decision-making process?
No, the goal of the science review is to provide the most up-to-date science regarding resource management issues. Information provided to the BLM will be advisory only, and not slow down the BLM’s decision-making process. In fact, the legislation specifically states the agency “shall proceed with management actions in a timely manner in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.” Any person affected by a grazing or other resource management decision of the BLM, including members of the ranching or conservation community, may send a written request to the Board of Directors for a science review. The Board will forward requests to the University of Idaho, which will select science experts from inside and outside the university to conduct the science reviews.
