Intent To Amend the Bennett Hills/Timmerman Hills Management 
Framework Plan; Idaho

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Bennett Hills/Timmerman Hills MFP Amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 43 CFR part 1600, the Shoshone District Bureau of 
Land Management proposes to amend the Bennett Hills/Timmerman Hills 
Management Framework Plan (MFP) to identify approximately 309 acres to 
be withdrawn from the operation of the mining laws.

DATES: Comments concerning this plan amendment must be received within 
30 days of publication of this notice.

ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning this plan amendment should be 
sent to: Mary C. Gaylord, District Manager, Bureau of Land Management, 
Shoshone District Office, P.O. Box 2-B, Shoshone, Idaho 83352.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harold Brown, Realty Specialist, 
Shoshone District Office, 400 West F Street, P.O. Box 2-B, Shoshone, 
Idaho 83352, (208) 886-2206.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The amendment proposed includes the 
designation of approximately 309 acres to be withdrawn from the 
operation of the mining laws. The withdrawal of the public land is 
considered necessary to protect a unique geologic resource from 
destruction and removal under operation of the mining law of 1872. The 
plan amendment will consider appropriate alternatives to this proposal. 
The following resources will be considered in preparing the plan 
amendment: lands, minerals, wildlife, range, cultural, watershed/soils, 
threatened/endangered plant and animal species, and hazardous 
materials. The planning team will consist of staff members representing 
each resource. The proposal to designate the land for withdrawal from 
mineral entry represents no anticipated controversy and no public 
meetings are planned.

LOCATION AND AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS RELEVANT TO THE PLANNING 
PROCESS: All documents are available at the Shoshone District BLM 
Office, 400 West F Street, Shoshone, Idaho. The hours are 7:45 a.m. to 
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

    Dated: January 12, 1994.

Associate District Manager.
