This expired section provided guidance, and temporary accommodation, for scenarios where sage-grouse habitat assessments were required by policy but sage-grouse seasonal habitat mapping and/or fine-scale HAF boundaries were incomplete. This document provides new guidelines (to replace those that have expired) and reviews existing (non-expired) guidelines. New guidelines primarily address site-scale assessments.
