<dd>The draft EIS considers and analyzes four alternatives that address future management of approximately 30,030 acres of federal surface and 396,053 acres of federal mineral estate in southwestern North Dakota administered by the BLM's North Dakota Field Office (NDFO). Alternative A is a continuation of current management (No Action Alternative). Under this alternative, use of BLM-administered lands and resources would continue to be managed under the North Dakota RMP, as amended. Alternative B describes management actions taken directly from the Sage-Grouse National Technical Team (NTT) 'A Report on National Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Measures.' Alternative C describes management actions submitted by various citizen groups. Alternative D describes management actions developed by adapting the NTT measures to North Dakota. Alternative D is the BLM's current preferred alternative. Alternative D is not a final agency decision but instead an indication of the agency's preliminary preference that reflects the best combination of decisions to achieve BLM goals and policies, meet the purpose and need, address the key planning issues, and consider the recommendations of cooperating agencies and BLM specialists</dd>
