This Plan establishes ranges <br />for these factors, referred to as "Resource Guides," which are <br />described in Part III of the Plan. Not all stakeholders endorse these <br />Resource Guides or believe that the ranges they represent are <br />necessary to support the ORVs. Nevertheless, the Stakeholder <br />Group agrees to include these guides to inform decision - making <br />and as a trigger for implementation of the cooperative measures <br />process described in Section IV.c of the Plan. Section IV.f <br />addresses how Resource Guides will inform decisions with respect <br />to new projects and changes to existing projects requiring federal <br />approvals or requesting federal funding or other federal assistance. <br />Failure to achieve these Resource Guides may trigger the elevation <br />procedures within the Stakeholder Group as provided in Section <br />IVA of the Plan but would not independently be cause for elevation <br />of this Plan to BLM pursuant to Section IV.e. <br />c.
