SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document provides notice that the BLM
has published a ROD for a final programmatic EIS and approved seven additional

herbicide active ingredients for use in vegetation treatments on BLM-managed public
lands.
Purpose and Need for the Proposed Action
The BLM’s purpose and need is to improve the effectiveness of its invasive plant
management efforts by allowing the use of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)registered active ingredients not currently authorized for use on BLM public lands.
Approving additional active ingredients diversifies the BLM’s herbicide treatment
options and helps meet the purposes that were first identified in the 2007 and 2016
programmatic EISs related to vegetation treatments, which are to make herbicides
available for vegetation treatment on public lands and to describe the stipulations that
apply to their use.
Decision
The BLM has approved seven additional herbicide active ingredients, including
aminocyclopyrachlor, clethodim, fluozifop-p-butyl, flumioxazin, imazamox, indaziflam,
and oryzalin, for use in vegetation treatments on public lands. These active ingredients
are registered by the EPA. In making this decision, the BLM adopted and relied on
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments prepared by the U.S. Forest Service.
