management plans will be prepared for each.
    The following resources will be considered in preparing the 
amendments: wildlife, soils, land status, range, threatened and 
endangered plant and animal species, cultural resources, and 
recreation. The dates of the public meetings will be released in the 
local news media. Relevant documents will be available for public 
review at the BLM, Pocatello Resource Area Office, Pocatello, Idaho.
