    The existing plan does not identify these lands for disposal. 
However, expressions of interest have been received from Grand County 
and members of the public that appear to have merit and the disposal of 
which may be in the public interest. Therefore, they will be considered 
through the plan amendment process.
    General issues to be addressed in the amendment include impacts of 
the proposed disposals to livestock forage, wildlife habitat, cultural 
resources, visual resources, and public safety. Site-specific 
environmental assessments will be prepared at such time that a specific 
disposal is being considered.
