Comment from the Montana Natural Resource Coalition of Counties, Inc

Summary: The Montana Natural Resource Coalition (MtNRC), representing twenty-two Montana county governments, supports the proposed action to revoke the FWS Missouri Headwaters Conservation Area Land Protection Plan. They argue that the program lacks transparency, violates procedural standards like the Administrative Procedures Act and FACA, and represents an unprecedented and "clandestine" land grab that negatively impacts local land use and private property.
