. Draft environmental impact statement for the interagency bison management plan for the state of Montana and Yellowstone National Park. American bison; American bison; American bison; Brucellosis in animals; Brucellosis in animals. Appendix A on those public lands specified in the interim plan in the west boundary area will not jeopardize the brucellosis class-free status of Montana. The adjustments that the federal agencies set out in the November 13 letter will provide for a generally stable population. The determination of what population level constitutes a viable herd or at what level the integrity of the herd would be compromised is under evaluation in the draft environmental impact statement for the interagency bison management plan for Montana and Yellowstone National Park. This decision does not address the herd viability and integrity issues because the adjustments to the implementation of the interim bison management plan will provide for a generally stable bison population, and the draft EIS is the more appropriate place for the evaluation of these complex issues. Guided by the CEQ regulation cited above, the staff at Yellowstone National Park undertook an evaluation of the adjustments to the management actions outlined in the November 13 letter and considered the results of management actions during the winter of 1996-97. After reviewing the available information, the letters from the federal agencies to the State of Montana, Montana's responses, and the evaluation of the proposed adjustments, I have concluded that the National Park Service should implement the adjustments set out in the November 13, 1997, letter and the November 24, 1997, evaluation and also have concluded that additional analysis of those actions under NEPA is not required.
