    The Bureau of Land Management has recently acquired the above 
described lands through land exchange with private parties. Detailed 
land use planning for these lands are not covered under the existing 
Pony Express Resource Management Plan of 1990. The lands contain 
important wildlife habitat, watershed, and safety hazards relating to 
historic mining activity. The closure is necessary to protect the 
public and the resources that exist on these lands until the BLM Salt 
Lake District has developed and implemented land use planning for these 
areas and has mitigated the safety concerns that exist.

Acting Salt Lake District Manager.
