Resource Management Plan Amendment/Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Roswell District.

ACTION: Extension of public comment period for the Draft Roswell 
Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement and Draft

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of land Management (BLM) is extending the 
previously announced public comment period for the Draft Roswell 
Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/EIS) and 
the Draft Carlsbad Resource Management Plan Amendment/Environmental 
Impact Satement (RMPA/EIS). The Draft RMP/EIS and Draft RMPA/EIS have 
been combined in a single document. The 90-day public comment period 
began November 4, 1994, and was scheduled to end February 1, 1995. 
Because of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and the busy time 
at year's end, the public comment period is extended and will end March 
1, 1995. This will give reviewers extra time to formulate and submit 
comments on the document.

DATES: Written comments on the Draft Roswell RMP/EIS and the Draft 
Carlsbad RMPA/EIS will be accepted until March 1, 1995. Public hearings 
on the drafts will be held on:

Person Auditorium on the New Mexico Military Institute campus, Roswell, 
New Mexico; and,
Jan. 11, 1995, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., at the 
BLM's Carlsbad Resource Area office, 620 East Greens, Carlsbad, New 
Mexico.

    Oral and written testimony will be accepted at the hearings. Oral 
comments will be limited to five minutes and should be accompanied with 
written text, if possible.
    In addition to the public hearings, three open houses are scheduled 
for:

Jan. 3, 1995, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., at the
