This appendix includes Administrative Actions and Standard Operating Procedures by program area. The information that follows pertains to BLM-administered public lands managed by the Hassayampa Field Office in the Bradshaw-Harquahala Planning Area. The BLM will maintain the practices, procedures, and policies listed below.
Administrative Actions are neither land use plan decisions nor implementation-level management decisions. Instead, these are day-to-day non-ground disturbing activities and are an important component when considering program activities. These activities are often required by FLPMA but do not require NEPA analysis or a written decision by a responsible official to be accomplished. Examples include mapping, surveying, inventorying, monitoring, and collecting needed information through research and studies.
Standard Operating Procedures are based on laws, regulations, executive orders, BLM planning manuals, policies, instruction memoranda, and applicable planning documents.
