HMAPs do not allocate resources.
They cannot change resource allocations.
They ratify/sanction/bless/condone/approve resource allocations already on the books.
“Changes to livestock grazing cannot be made through a wild horse gather decision.”
The RMP must be revised, which is beyond the scope of the project.
If livestock receive 19 AUMs for every AUM assigned to horses before the HMAP, they will receive 19 AUMs for every AUM assigned to horses after the HMAP.
The AML will remain small relative to the available resources and the HMA will be managed principally for livestock.
