Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, Idaho

ACTION: Notice of extension of public comment period and rescheduling 
of public meetings.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice revises the Notice of Availability of the draft 
Environmental Impact Statement for this project that was announced 
previously in the Federal Register on November 29, 1995. It announces 
an extension of the public comment period and rescheduling of public 
meetings regarding the Draft General Management Plan/Environmental 
Impact Statement (GMP/EIS) for Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, 
Idaho. Copies of the Draft GMP/EIS were sent to approximately 900 
individuals, agencies and organizations in November and December 1995. 
The partial shutdown of the federal government during December and 
January caused postponement of the previously scheduled public 
meetings.

DATES AND ADDRESSES: Comments on the Draft GMP/EIS should now be 
received no later than March 8, 1996. All comments already received and 
all comments received before this new due date will become part of the 
public record and will be considered in developing the Final GMP/EIS 
and Record of Decision. Copies of comments, including any names, 
addresses and telephone numbers that may have been provided by 
respondents, may be released for public inspection. Dates, locations 
and times for public meetings regarding the Draft GMP/EIS will be as 
follows:

February 21, 1996: Hagerman, Idaho, Monument Visitor Center, 221 North 
State Street.
    10:00am-4:00pm, Open House; 7:00pm-9:30pm, Public Meeting.
