Little Mountain Decision Record Available

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cody Field Office announced today that the Decision Record for the Little Mountain Travel Management Plan (TMP) Environmental Assessment (EA), as amended in 2010, has been signed.

A TMP for the Little Mountain area was developed by the Cody Field Office in 2005 and 2006. Public input was sought from 2004 to 2006 through public meetings and comment periods. Throughout the spring of 2010, the BLM worked with the public, county and state governments and other federal agencies to resolve travel management issues. In support of this, the BLM hosted field trips and a listening session to discuss the initial implementation of the Little Mountain TMP.

As a result of additional information gained from these outreach efforts, the Cody Field Office has amended the Little Mountain TMP. The amended TMP addresses the public and administrative concerns with regard to access needs, while protecting resources, promoting safety and minimizing
conflicts among various uses on public lands.

Copies of the Decision Record, the amended Little Mountain TMP EA and the Little Mountain Travel Management Map are available online or at the Cody Field Office located at 1002 Blackburn Street in Cody. In addition, the public will find updated maps and information at key access points in the Little Mountain area.

For more information, contact the Cody Field Office at (307) 578-5900.

Flag Day

From Wikipedia:

In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.

Flag Day is not an official federal holiday, though on June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first (and only) U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday, beginning in the town of Rennerdale.[1] Title 36 of the United States Code, Subtitle I, Part A, CHAPTER 1, § 110[2] is the official statute on Flag Day; however, it is at the President's discretion to proclaim officially the observance.
