grouse core areas (OAR 660-023-0115, Exhibit D). The original baseline values were determined using a variety of datasets that were the best available in 2013-2014. One of these datasets delineating electric transmission lines was a proprietary dataset that
is now preventing the department from creating a fully transparent central registry as directed in Section 15 of OAR 660-023-0115 (a.k.a. Sage Grouse Rule). This rulemaking is intended to modify the baseline values to reflect the use of a replacement transmission
line dataset that is state-owned and maintained. No other amendments to the Sage Grouse Rule, the baseline values, or the supporting datasets will be requested.</span></w:Sdt><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
