    All meetings are open to the public. The public may present written 
comments to the council. Each formal council meeting will have a time 
allocated for hearing public comments. The public comment period for 
the council meeting is listed below. Depending on the number of persons 
wishing to comment, and time available, the time for individual oral 
comments may be limited. Individuals who plan to attend and need 
further information about the meetings, or need special assistance such 
as sign language interpretation or other reasonable accommodations,

Hot Springs Road, Carson City, NV 89706, telephone (702) 885-6000.

DATES, TIMES: Dates are May 9 and 10, 1996. The council will meet at 
the Bureau of Land Management, 5100 East Winnemucca Blvd., Winnemucca, 
NV 89445 on May 9th at 7:30 a.m. and will depart at 8:00 a.m. for a 
field trip to Paradise Valley to tour allotments. Individuals who want 
to attend the field trip must provide their own transportation and 
lunch. A schedule for the field trip will be available prior to 
departure. On May 10th the council will meet at the Bureau of Land 
Management office at 8:00 a.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m.
    There will be a public scoping meeting on May 10th from 7:00 p.m. 
to 9:00 p.m. at the BLM office, to comment on the proposal to 
potentially amend affected Resource Management Plans. Public comment is 
sought on the issues to be analyzed, the alternatives that may be 
considered, the standards and guidelines to be addressed, as well as 
the level of analysis which would be appropriate under the National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Implementation of Standards and 
Guidelines may require some form of planning modification, ranging from 
simple plan maintenance to plan amendment. It is uncertain what level 
of plan modification will be needed, if any.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the council is to advise the 
Secretary of the Interior, through the BLM, on a variety of planning 
and management issues associated with the management of the public 
lands.
