  2. Cooperating NECO Agencies Meeting on September 15 • Overview for new NECO BLM Managers • Refresher: CDFG, USMC, DMG • “How to Use NECO” primer for Biologists • Post-ROD Cooperation discussed ♦ Implementation Status ♦ Need for Cooperators Meetings

  3. 6 Bioregional Plans - Status • All are/almost completed • Need to move out on Implementation

  4. Bioregional Plans Decisions and Commitments • Public Lands Health • Listed & Unlisted Species & Habitats • Livestock Grazing & Burros • Other Managed Uses • Routes of Travel • Land Tenure • Public Education • Monitoring • Include commitment for continued Cooperation

  5. Importance of Cooperation in Implementation • Values/Decisions cross # Agencies • Achieves all Agencies’ Mandates • Supports Budget Process • Supports CDCA Consistency • Better addresses Lawsuits • Includes Governments & NGOs • NGOs are still stakeholders, will volunteer

  6. Proposal: Greater CDCA Cooperative Management for Implementation 2 Levels of Cooperation for Maximum Efficiency & Effectiveness: ♦ Bioregions: each with a unique group ♦ CDCA: Desert Managers Group

  7. Cooperation at Bioregion Level • Scope: Implementation, process, budget, priorities, etc. specific to Bioregions • Informal - Agencies & NGOs work together as much as possible • Agencies represented at DMG, too • NGOs primarily involved at this level • Work not to conflict with agencies mandates, authorities, daily affairs, FACA (= DMG) • Elevates CDCA-wide issues to DMG • Relieves DMG of work focus on the routine • Regular progress reports

  8. Cooperation at DMG Level • Scope: similar to Bioregion but CDCA-wide • Formal – already chartered • Agencies in 1 or more Bioregions • NGOs involvement is ad hoc, only • Agenda is primarily bottom-up from Bioregions • Relieves Bioregions of non-routine/CDCA-scope work • Reduces problem solving workload for Bioregions • Top-down for solutions, priorities, funding CDCA-wide in scope. Is Proactive on high-priority funding needs • DMG may invite ad hoc Bioregion support • Regular progress reports
