There is no mention of packgoats that I could find but it is early in the planning process. This area is located not far from wild sheep although I don't see them being mentioned either. It will be interesting to see how it develops.

Recreational Horse and Stock Use
Background:
Stock use is a traditional activity on this land and has long history of use throughout the JMJP Wilderness. This traditional use of wilderness is a symbol of the landscape and is associated with hunting and grazing activities. Recreational stock use, mainly horses and mules, occurs throughout the Wilderness, but tend to concentrate on the developed trails.
Desired Future Condition:
Recreational stock use is recognized and allowed with minimal impacts to wilderness character.
Goals:
The wilderness is used by riders and those using pack stock in a manner that leaves it unimpaired for future use and enjoyment as wilderness.
Management Direction
Standards:
A group being in the area with a combined number of pack and saddle stock in excess of 20 head of stock is prohibited.
Affiliated stock groups, which exceed 20 head in a group, are not allowed to come into contact with one another, nor within a range of one air mile of each other.
Pack or saddle stock must be ridden, led, or under control and are not permitted to run loose on trails or travel routes.
Locate pack and saddle stock facilities at least 200 feet from lakes and streams, where terrain allows. Pad high lines to minimize tree damage.
Require the use of weed-free feed or pellets for stock animals (FS Order Number 04-00-097; BLM Supplementary Rule ID-913-02-4740-04) and in accordance with other FS and BLM policies and closure orders.
Guidelines:
Discourage tying of stock to trees for more than two hours. Encourage use of temporary stock containment systems. Monitoring:
Implement monitoring as described in the Wilderness, Trails, and Camping and Campfires sections.
Management Actions:
At this time, there is no indication that additional limits or restricts on stock use, beyond the group size limitation, or other stock types.
