    The issues anticipated to be addressed by this Plan Amendment/EA 
include safety, resource protection, and recreational conflict.
    The proposed planning criteria include:
    1. All proposed actions and alternatives considered must comply 
with current laws and Federal Regulations.
    2. The resource allocations of proposed actions will be made in 
accordance with the principles of ``multiple use'' as defined in the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), Sec. 103(c).
    3. The Proposed Plan Amendment will consider the relative scarcity 
of the values invovled and the availability of alternative means and 
sites for realization of those values.
    4. This planning process will provide for public involvement 
including early notice and frequent opportunity for citizens and 
interested groups and others to participate in and comment on the 
preparation of plans and related guidance.
