Primary affected parties and likely impacts:

• Bureau of Land Management (BLM): must implement the disapproval, revert to the prior management baseline or interim guidance, notify stakeholders, and plan for a new RMP process. Administrative workload and legal/rulemaking obligations will increase.

• Federally recognized tribes and Tribal governments with interests in the field-office area: may see changes to consultation timelines, protections, and land-use decisions tied to the now-disapproved plan; they will need to re-engage as the agency develops next steps.

• Local communities, private landowners, and permit applicants in the North Dakota Field Office planning area: may face uncertainty about land-use approvals, leases, grazing permits, ROWs, and development plans while the agency determines the immediate effect of the disapproval and whether prior approvals remain valid.

• Energy, mining, and grazing interests (project developers, ranchers): activities that relied on the RMP as the governing policy may be delayed, revised, or require additional review under the prior plan; economic and operational planning may be disrupted.

• Conservation organizations and recreation stakeholders: management priorities or protections established in the disapproved RMP will not remain in force, potentially changing conservation measures, recreation access rules, or mitigation commitments.

• Courts and potential litigants: parties dissatisfied with either the original RMP or the disapproval could seek judicial review, creating litigation risk and further delays.

Overall effect: the resolution removes a specific, recently issued field-office plan from effect, producing an immediate regulatory change for land management in the affected North Dakota planning area. This produces short-to-medium-term uncertainty while BLM and stakeholders adjust; long-term outcomes depend on future BLM planning, any new rulemaking, and whether Congress or the agency pursues alternative actions.
