INTEREST OF AMICUS CURIAE1
Amicus TN Ranching Company, owned by Butch
and Jeannie Jensen, is a 5th generation family owned
and operated ranch located near Price, Utah. The
ranch owns approximately 1,200 head of livestock
which graze more than 13,000 “animal unit months2”
of forage on their allotments located on lands managed
by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land
Management (“BLM”). Each of TN Ranching Co.’s term
grazing permits granted by the BLM is subject to analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act
(“NEPA”). As such, the determination of what is an “indirect effect” as defined under the analysis of Department of Transportation v. Public Citizen, 541 U.S. 752
(2004) (Public Citizen) compared with the analysis under Sierra Club v. FERC, 867 F.3d 1373 (D.C. Cir. 2017)
has a direct impact on TN Ranching Co.’s livelihoods
as the loss of their term grazing permits would decimate their livestock operation and livelihood. Additionally, the Uintah Basin Railway runs through a
portion of TN Ranching Co.’s private property and
through their BLM grazing allotments.

Rule 37 statement: The parties were notified and consented
to the filing of this brief no more than 10 days before its filing. See
Sup. Ct. R. 37.2. No party’s counsel authored any of this brief;
amicus alone funded its preparation and submission. See Sup. Ct.
R. 37.6.

An animal unit month (“AUM”) is the amount of forage consumed by one animal (e.g., cow and her calf or yearling cow) on
lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service or BLM. Livestock grazing permits in the United States on federal lands allow the grazing of a specific number of AUMs based on the size of the grazing
allotment, type of livestock and time period of the year specified
in the grazing permit.

Amicus Rio Blanco County Commission of Rio
Blanco County, Colorado, is located in northwestern
Colorado (Rio Blanco). Amici White River Conservation District and the Douglas Creek Conservation District (collectively “local governments”) are located
within Rio Blanco County, Colorado. Rio Blanco
County contains approximately 2,064,000 acres of
land, 56 percent of which is managed by the BLM, 24
percent is privately owned, and 17 percent is managed
by the United States Forest Service. The incorporated
areas of Rangely and Meeker in Rio Blanco County
consist of approximately two percent of the land base,
and the State of Colorado owns less than one percent
of the land in the County. Because of the significant
amount of federally managed land within the boundaries of these units of local government, they are intricately impacted by federal agency decisions and their
accompanying analyses under NEPA. Additionally, because NEPA grants to local governments additional
opportunities to participate in the NEPA process above
and beyond the opportunity to provide public comment, local governments will be hampered in participating in their additional regulatory processes unless
there is a clear consistent definition and analysis of
what is included as an “indirect affect.”
Amicus, the Wyoming Stock Growers Association
(“WSGA”) was organized on April 4, 1872, to advance
and protect the interest of the state’s livestock producers. It was the second state cattlemen’s organization
created in the United States. Wyoming Stock Growers
was the first association formed in the Wyoming
3
territory. It is the only organization in the state focused
entirely on serving the needs of the cattle industry,
which is the largest segment of Wyoming’s agricultural
production. The mission of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association is to serve the livestock business and
families of Wyoming by protecting their economic, legislative, regulatory, judicial, environmental, custom,
and cultural interests. The Wyoming Stock Growers
Association advocates for the protection of private
property rights from overly burdensome regulatory interference. The Association maintains a legal fund to
enable it to initiate, defend or support litigation on critical issues with the potential to have a major impact
on its members’ ranching enterprises.
The amici curiae represent both local governments as described in the implementing regulations
under the NEPA and agricultural landowners reliant
on their federal lands grazing permits, which have to
be evaluated under NEPA. Sixty two percent of counties in the United States have federal public lands
within their borders. 2024 Federal Policy Priorities |
National Association of Counties (naco.org) (https://
www.naco.org/resource/2024-federal-policy-priorities#:
~:text=Sixty-two%20percent%20of%20counties,have
%20federal%20public%20land) (last viewed April 3,
2024). These parties bring a unique perspective on the
question before this Court because they are directly affected by the various courts’ conflicting determinations
of what is included as an “indirect effect.”
---------------------------------♦---------------------------------

SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
The purpose of this brief is to illustrate the difficulties that a split in the circuits has on local governments and agricultural interests in determining the
breadth of “indirect effects” under the NEPA. Local
governments, such as those represented by amici, are
granted specific and important opportunities to participate with federal agencies in preparing and analyzing
documents prepared pursuant to the NEPA. These specific opportunities include developing local land use
plans which have to be specifically and separately considered by a federal agency in making its final decision.
Agricultural operations that are absolutely dependent
on the use of the federal lands to continue their livelihoods are also directly impacted by this split in the circuits, particularly when those challenging a decision
can either challenge the final decision in a federal district court in the circuit in which the permit is granted,
or in the D.C. District Court. It should not be a “race to
the courthouse” to challenge a decision based upon an
alleged failure to properly analyze “indirect effects”
based upon differing circuit court determinations.
See Lampe, Joanna (2024) Congressional Research
Service, Where a Suit can Proceed: Court Selection and
Forum Shopping, LSB10856, LSB10856 (congress.gov)
(https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB
10856) (last visited April 3, 2024).
Yet that is often what happens in these cases. See
e.g. Wyoming v. United States Dep’t of Interior, No. 07CV-0319-B, 2008 WL 11335156, at *2 (D. Wyo. Nov. 7,
2008), vacated sub nom. Wyoming v. U.S. Dep’t of
5
Interior, 587 F.3d 1245 (10th Cir. 2009) (stating that
“Initially, this Court finds it unfortunate that a United
States District Court [the D.C. District Court] sitting
over 2,000 miles away from the actual subject of this
litigation feels compelled to hand down a ruling affecting land that lies in this Court’s backyard [Federal District Court for the District of Wyoming]. As the United
States Supreme Court has stated, ‘In cases which
touch the affairs of many persons, there is reason for
holding the trial in their view and reach rather than in
remote parts of the country where they can learn of it
by report only. There is a local interest in having localized controversies decided at home.’ ” Gulf Oil Corp. v.
Gilbert, 330 U.S. 501, 509 (1947). However, depending
upon whether the plaintiff wishes the court to reject an
analysis under NEPA for failing to consider impacts
over which the agency has no authority or jurisdiction
to consider can be the deciding factor whether to file in
the D.C. District Court rather than a federal district
court in the Eleventh, Sixth, Fourth or Seventh Circuits. Amici would urge the U.S. Supreme Court to accept certiorari in this case to remedy this split in the
circuits, end the “race to the courthouse” and ensure
that the D.C. Circuit Court and the Ninth Circuit
Court comply with the plain meaning of Public Citizen.
---------------------------------♦---------------------------------
ARGUMENT
According to NEPA, all federal agencies shall
prepare an environmental impact statement (“EIS”)
or an environmental assessment (“EA”), (i.e., a NEPA
6
document) for “every recommendation or report on
proposals for legislation and other major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment. . . .” 42 U.S.C. § 4332(C). Such EIS or EA
shall analyze the direct, indirect and cumulative effects of the proposed agency actions. 40 C.F.R.
§ 1508.1(g)(2) (2023). Under this court’s decision in
Public Citizen, consideration of such direct, indirect
and cumulative effects stops where the agency’s statutory authority stops; in other words, an indirect action
is one that would occur “but for” the proposed federal
action. In contrast, the D.C. Circuit Court and the
Ninth Circuit Court require agencies to go further and
analyze any effect that is “reasonably foreseeable.” The
Petitioners’ Petition for Writ of Certiorari thoroughly
discusses this issue.
What this brief would focus on, however, is the impact of this split in the circuit courts on local governments who also have the ability to participate in the
NEPA analysis process, including providing analysis
on direct, indirect and cumulative impacts. Such local
government participation includes both “consistency
review” between the federal agency land use plans, decisions and programs and the local government’s local
land use or policy plan. Local governments can also be
granted “cooperating agency status” from the federal
agencies pursuant to NEPA. For agriculturalists,
whose livelihoods depend on being able to use their
federal lands grazing allotments, this split in interpretation causes a “race to the courthouse” once the NEPA
review of their term grazing permits is released,
7
meaning that a term grazing permit impacting TN
Ranching Co. or members of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association can be challenged in Washington D.C.,
2000 miles away from the impact of the decision in
hopes of a different outcome based on the D.C. Circuit’s
outside interpretation of Public Citizen.
A. NEPA’s Command of Consistency Review
for Local Governments
NEPA applies to all agencies of the federal government and requires an environmental analysis for all
“major federal actions significantly effecting the human environment.” 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq. The courts
have traditionally adopted a very broad interpretation
of when NEPA applies, meaning that every time the
federal government makes a decision for almost any
action that may have an environmental impact, NEPA
compliance is required. See e.g., Citizens Alert Regarding the Environment v. United States Environmental
Protection Agency, 259 F. Supp.2d 9, 20 (D.D.C. 2003).
With regard to the mandate for a “consistency review,” the NEPA regulations require that the environmental consequences section of an EIS shall include
“possible conflicts between the proposed action and the
objectives of Federal, Regional, State, Tribal and local
land use plans, policies, and controls for the area concerned.” 40 C.F.R. § 1502.16(a)(5) (2023). Additionally,
an EIS must discuss any “inconsistency of a proposed
plan with any approved State or local plan and laws
(whether or not federally sanctioned).” 40 C.F.R.
8
§ 1506.2(d) (2023). Where inconsistencies exist, the
EIS should describe the extent to which the agency
would reconcile its proposed action to the local government’s plan, policy, control or law. Id.
The environmental consequences section of the
EIS shall also include economic and technical considerations “including economic benefits of the proposed
action.” 40 C.F.R. § 1502.16(b) (2023). The regulations
note that while economic and social considerations, in
and of themselves, do not require the preparation of an
EIS, when economic or social effects are interrelated
with environmental effects, the EIS shall discuss and
consider economic and social effects. Id. Finally, NEPA
commands that copies of comments by State or local
governments must accompany the EIS or EA throughout the review process. 42 U.S.C. § 4332(C).
To take advantage of NEPA’s regulatory requirements requiring consistency with local plans or policies, numerous local governments such as counties and
conservation districts have adopted local land use
plans specifically for the purpose of consistency review.
For example, amici Rio Blanco County Colorado and
the Douglas Creek and White River Conservation Districts (collectively local governments) adopted their
Land and Natural Resources Plan and Policies in 2021.
Updated LUP 2022ApprovedFinal_0.pdf (https://wrcddccd.colorado.gov/sites/wrcd-dccd/files/documents/
Updated%20LUP%202022ApprovedFinal_0.pdf) (colorado.gov). This local land use plan was specifically
written in light of NEPA’s requirement to:
9
As required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Federal Land Policy
and Management Act (FLPMA), the National
Forest Management Act (NFMA) and other
federal statutes, this Plan will be applied to
federal regulatory frameworks that govern
the management of federal land in regard to
the rangeland, soil, water, wildlife, air, energy,
and other resources. For example, Federal law
requires federal agencies to give meaningful
consideration to policies asserted in plans developed by local governments, including counties and conservation districts.
Id. at 1.
Amici local governments’ local land use plan discusses the local governments’ positions relating to the
need for credible data, county history, customs and culture3, federal land management policies, air quality
policies, climate change policies, forest management,
wildfire and community wildfire planning, livestock
grazing, noxious weeds and invasive species, oil, gas,
coal and minerals, socioeconomic and economic viability of the local area, soils, special designation areas and
scenic byways/viewsheds, travel management, access
and recreation, water—rights and use, wild and scenic
3
Culture is defined as the customary beliefs, social forms
and material traits of a group; an integrated pattern of human
behavior passed to succeeding generations. Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, 277 (1975). A custom is a usage or practice of the
people, which, by common adoption and acquiescence, and by long
and unvarying habit, has become compulsory and has acquired
the force of law with respect to the place or subject-matter to
which it relates. Bouvier’s Law Dictionary, 417 (1st ed. 1867).
10
river designations, wild horses, burros and estray livestock, and wildlife management. Because these local
governments are within the Tenth Circuit of Appeals,
the local governments analyzed the potential direct,
indirect and cumulative effects of possible federal
agency actions based on the requirements of Public
Citizen. However, if litigation over a federal decision in
which a federal agency completed a “consistency review” is brought in the D.C. District Court, the effort of
the local government to write a plan consistent with
Public Citizen is all for naught simply based on where
the litigation is brought. This is a significant disadvantage to local government’s participation in the
NEPA analysis because the local land use plan will
never be consistent.
B. NEPA’s Command of Cooperating Agency
Status for Local Governments
Cooperating agency status also gives local governments the ability to participate as part of a federal
agency’s decision-making process. Pursuant to NEPA,
an applicant for cooperating agency status must be
both (1) an elected body such as a conservation district
board of supervisors or a county commission and (2)
possess “special expertise.” “Special expertise is defined as the statutory responsibility, mission or related
program experience of the local governing body.” 40
C.F.R. § 1508.1(ee) (2023). A State, Tribal or local
agency of similar qualifications may, by agreement of
the lead agency, become a cooperating agency. 40 C.F.R.
§ 1501.8(a) (2023). For example, under the Colorado
11
state statutes, the White River and Douglas Creek
Conservation Districts are made up of locally elected
officials whose special expertise is to provide leadership in the wise use of the natural resources within the
Districts’ boundaries. Conservation districts in Colorado are defined as “local governments” and have the
ability to participate in government-to-government interactions with the federal agencies. The Districts
within Rio Blanco County have developed their Land
& Natural Resource Use Plan and Policy to translate
their statutory mandate (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 35-70-108)
into land management policy and direction for federal
agencies to consider.
For example, one of the Districts’ responsibilities
is: “To prepare a plan for the care, treatment, and operation of the lands within the district.” Colo. Rev. Stat.
§ 35-70-108(1)(k). Additionally, Colorado conservation
districts were created by the state legislature to provide for constructive methods of land use providing for
the conservation and preservation of natural resources, including adequate underground water reserves, the control of wind and water erosion, and the
reduction of damage resulting from floods. The purposes of the conservation districts are to “insure the
health, prosperity, and welfare of the state of Colorado
and its people . . . ” Colo. Rev. Stat. § 35-70-102.
Similarly, by state statute, Colorado county governments, like Rio Blanco County, are also local governments with special expertise. In fact, Colorado
statutes allow local governments to:
12
Coordinate, pursuant to 43 U.S.C. sec. 1712,
the “National Environmental Policy Act of
1969”, 42 U.S.C. sec. 4321 et seq., 40 U.S.C. sec.
3312, 16 U.S.C. sec. 530, 16 U.S.C. sec. 1604,
and 40 C.F.R. parts 1500 to 1508, with the
United States secretary of the Interior and
the United States secretary of Agriculture to
develop land management plans that address
hazardous fuel removal and other forest management practices, water development and
conservation measures, watershed protection,
the protection of air quality, public utilities
protection, and private property protection on
federal lands within such county’s jurisdiction.
Colo. Rev. Stat. § 30-11-101(k).
Thus, based on these statutory authorities, the
policies and powers of these local governments encompass the obligation to protect the customs and culture
of the local citizens, to provide for community stability,
and to protect the natural environment and resources
as cooperating agencies.
In addition to stating that federal agencies shall
consider local governments as cooperating agencies,
NEPA regulations specify the procedures regarding
the same. With respect to cooperating agencies, NEPA
regulations state that the lead agency shall:
(1) Request participation in the NEPA process at the earliest practicable time.
(2) Use the environmental analysis and proposals of cooperating agencies with
13
jurisdiction by law or special expertise, to
the maximum extent practicable.
(3) Meet with a cooperating agency at the
latter’s request.
(4) Determine the purpose and need, and alternatives in consultation with a cooperating agency.
40 C.F.R. § 1501.7(h) (2023).
The lead agency shall develop a schedule, set milestones for environmental reviews in consultation with
all lead, cooperating and participating agencies as soon
as practicable. 40 C.F.R. § 1501.7(i) (2023). With regard
to cooperating agencies, the regulations require:
(b)
Each cooperating agency shall:
(1) Participate in the NEPA process at
the earliest practicable time.
(2) Participate in the scoping process
(described in § 1501.9).
(3) On request of the lead agency, assume responsibility for developing information
and
preparing
environmental
analyses, including portions of the environmental impact statement or environmental
assessment concerning which the cooperating
agency has special expertise.
(4) On request of the lead agency, make
available staff support to enhance the lead
agency’s interdisciplinary capability.
14
(5) Normally use its own funds. To the
extent available funds permit, the lead agency
shall fund those major activities or analyses it
requests from cooperating agencies. Potential
lead agencies shall include such funding requirements in their budget requests.
(6) Consult with the lead agency in developing the schedule (§ 1501.7(i)), meet the
schedule, and elevate, as soon as practicable,
to the senior agency official of the lead agency
any issues relating to purpose and need, alternatives, or other issues that may affect any
agencies’ ability to meet the schedule.
(7) Meet the lead agency’s schedule for
providing comments and limit its comments
to those matters for which it has jurisdiction
by law or special expertise with respect to any
environmental issue consistent with § 1503.2
of this chapter.
(8) To the maximum extent practicable,
jointly issue environmental documents with
the lead agency.
40 C.F.R. § 1501.8 (2023).
Because of the split in the circuits related to the
required analysis in Public Citizen, participation in the
scoping process is minimized if the federal agency and
local government have to try to figure out how broad
the “indirect effects” are depending on where they anticipate litigation will be filed. To ensure that directly
impacted federal agencies and local governments can
comply with NEPA, the D.C. Circuit and the Ninth
15
Circuit should be required to interpret Public Citizen
as this Court plainly stated.
C. Impacts of the Split in the Circuits on the
Regulated Public
The impact of the split in the circuits over the
basic tenants of the breath of the issues in a NEPA document also significantly affects the regulated public
such as TN Ranching Co. and members of the Wyoming
Stock Growers Association. According to the Council of
Environmental Quality, approximately 12,000 substantive environmental reviews under NEPA are completed by the federal agencies each year. See Council
on Environmental Quality, “The Fourth Report on Cooperating Agencies in Implementing the Procedural
Requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA),” October 2016, https://ceq.doe.gov/docs/
ceq-reports/Attachment-A-Fourth-Cooperating-AgencyReport_Oct2016.pdf. Although BLM grazing permits,
like the ones held by TN Ranching Co. and the members of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, are
renewed every 10 years, the BLM manages approximately 18,000 such permits, meaning that the BLM
has to complete 1,800 NEPA analyses and permit renewal decisions each year on grazing alone. Because
complying with NEPA is getting increasingly difficult
based on the massive amount of litigation that is filed,
the BLM is behind on their renewal process and litigation has been filed alleging the court must order the
BLM to rectify the backlog and complete the NEPA
process for grazing permit renewal. See Western
16
Watersheds Project et al. v. Secretary of the Interior,
23-cv-02677 (D.D.C., filed September 12, 2023) (WWP
litigation). While the WWP litigation does not allege
a violation of failure to adequately consider indirect
impacts, the resulting NEPA analysis for the amici
grazing permits will individually involve an analysis
of “indirect effects” and whether such analysis by the
lead federal agency and cooperating agencies is upheld will depend on where any final decision is challenged.
