ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a plan amendment and environmental assessment and invitation for public participation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Carson City and Battle Mountain Districts of the Bureau of Land Management propose to amend the Lahontan, Walker and Shoshone- Eureka Resource Management Plans to address communication sites. The amendment will cover public lands in central Nevada in parts of Churchill, Mineral, Lander, Nye and Eureka Counties. DATES AND ADDRESSES: Written comments on the proposed amendment and environmental assessment are welcomed until March 24, 1995. They should be sent to James M. Phillips, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, 1535 Hot Springs Road, Carson City, NV 89706. Public open houses to discuss the amendment will be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on March 6 at the Bureau of Land Management office, 1535 Hot Springs Road, Carson City; on March 7 at the High School Library, Highway 305, North, Austin at and on March 8 at the Convention Center, 100 Campus Way, Fallon. Please call James M. Phillips at 702 885-6100 for further information. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The public is invited to participate in the identification of issues related to the development of future communication sites in central Nevada. This plan amendment is being proposed to address the rapid increase in the demand for communication sites. Most of this increase is related to the expansion of training activities at the Fallon Naval Air Station. Since 1980, a total of 68 Navy sites have been constructed on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Over 200 miles of powerlines, roads and fiber-optic cables associated with the sites were also constructed. The proposed plan amendment will address future site development in central Nevada. It will identify zones where communication site development is appropriate and where it is not. Site development guidelines will also be considered. Anticipated issues for the amendment and environmental assessment are: visual impacts, noise from aircraft and health/ environmental impacts from military chaff drops associated with the sites. Planning documents and other pertinent materials may be examined at the Bureau of Land Management offices in Carson City and Battle Mountain between 7:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. Monday through Friday. Dated this 30th day of January, 1995. James M. Phillips, Area Manager, Lahontan Resource Area. [FR Doc. 95-2783 Filed 2-3-95; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-HC-P
