Intent To Prepare a Plan Amendment To Price Resource Area 
Management Framework Plan

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI), Proposal to Amend the Price River 
Resource Area Management Framework Plan, Moab District.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management has received a proposal from 
River Gas of Utah, Inc., to develop a coalbed methane tract 
encompassing approximately 290 square miles within Carbon County, Utah. 
Up to 1,000 wells could be developed during the life of the proposed 
project. As is required, an internal consistency review was performed; 
and it was determined that this project, as proposed, is not in 
conformance with existing planning documents. However, since it may 
have merit, a proposed amendment will be considered.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In order to address this proposed amendment, 
the Bureau of Land Management will be directing a third-party 
contractor to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the 
proposed amendment. Refer to ``NOI to Prepare EIS,'' published in 
Federal Register, Volume 59, No. 156, August 15, 1994, for additional 
information regarding the EIS.

DATES: The 30-day comment period on this proposed plan amendment will 
commence on or before September 12, 1994.
    Comments must be submitted on or before October 12, 1994.

Office, 82 East Dogwood, P.O. Box 970, Moab, Utah 84532 (801) 259-6111.
