0, '" "85 'J._~, Introduction IMPLEMENTATION Decisions in the RMP will be Implemented over a period of years and must be tied to the BlM budgeting process. Therefore, priorities have been established for each resource to guide the order of Implementation. The prlorttles for each program will be reviewed annually to help develop the annual work plan commitments forthe coming year. The prlorttles may be revised based upon new administrative policy, new Departmental directives, or new Bureau goals. The priorities of Implementation are presented, by resource, In Chapter Thres. MONITORING The RMP will be monitored to determine Its Im- plementation status and Its effectiveness In meeting desired results. An annual status report, which summarizes Implementation tasks completed and Implementation problems en- countered, will be prepared. The status report will also document plan malntsnance Items, ad- justments and revisions which have been com- pleted, and will be available upon request. IndIVidual resources will be monitored as out- lIned In Chapter Three of this document. MAINTENANCE The RMP wtll be maintained as necessary to rsflect minor changes In data. Maintenance will be limited to ref1nlng or documenting a pre- viously approved dsclslon. It shall not expand the scope of resource uses or restrictions or change the terms, conditions, and decisions of the plan. Malntenancs will be documented In the annual status rsport. Formal publiC Involvement will not be necessary to maintain the RMP. AMENDMENTS AND REVISIONS The RMP may bs amended or revised If major changes are nscessary. Monitoring and evaluation findings, new data, new or rsvlsed polley, or a proposed action rssultlng In a Chapter One change In the scope, terms, or conditions of the plan, would warrant an amendment or revision. An amendment will be analyzed either in an en- vironmental assessment or an environmental im- pact statement. The public and other agenCies will be included In the amendment and revision processes. VALID EXISTING RIGHTS The RMP does not repeal valid existing rights on public lands. Valid existing rights are those claims or rights to publiC land that take precedence over the actions In this plan. As an example, a mining claim located prior to the preparation of this plan In an area withdrawn from minerai entry through the plan may be valid. Valid existing rights may be held by other federal agencies or by private individuals or companies.
