Headwaters Resource Management Plan Amendment; Cascade and Lewis 
and Clark Counties, Montana

AGENCY: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Headwaters Resource Management 
Plan (RMP) will be amended by the Great Falls Resource Area, Great 
Falls, Montana. The Bureau of Land Management is amending the RMP to 
consider certain public lands available for disposal pursuant to 
sections 203 and 206 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
1976. The public lands comprise approximately 17,000 acres located in 
Cascade and Lewis & Clark Counties, Montana.
    The Headwaters RMP did not identify all of these lands as suitable 
for disposal. However, because land exchange opportunities aid in 
aggregating or repositioning other public lands that lack public access 
and/or are scattered parcels which are difficult for BLM to manage, the 
public interest may well be served by disposal of these lands. An 
environmental assessment will be prepared by the Great Falls Resource 
Area to analyze the impacts of this proposal and any alternatives.
    The public land being considered for disposal, comprising 17,113.36 
acres, is described as follows:
