DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
[Docket No. 4310-DN; MT-065-07-3120-00]


Notice of Intent; Judith-Valley-Phillips Resource Management Plan 
Amendment; Phillips County, MT

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

ACTION: Notice is hereby given that the Judith-Valley-Phillips Resource 
Management Plan will be amended by the Phillips Resource Area, Malta, 
Montana.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will amend the Judith-
Valley-Phillips Resource Management Plan (RMP) with respect to 
management of public lands in Phillips County. The BLM proposes the 
sale of 80.00 acres more or less to the Phillips County Airport 
Commission. The land is legally described as the S\1/2\SE\1/4\, section 
11 T. 30 N., R. 29 E., P.M.M., Phillips County, Montana. The land would 
be sold under authority of section 203(a)(1) of the Federal Land Policy 
and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713) and in accordance with the 
procedures set forth in 43 CFR 2710 at fair market value. All minerals, 
ditches and canals, would be reserved to the United States. Disposal of 
these Federal lands was not analyzed in the Judith-Valley-Phillips RMP 
and associated Environmental Impact Statement. Disposal of Federal land 
requires that the specific tract be identified in the land use plan 
with the criteria to be met for sale and discussion of how the criteria 
have been satisfied. This will be part of the plan amendment and 
environmental assessment. The Phillips Resource Area, Lewistown 
District, Bureau of Land Management will prepare an environmental 
assessment to analyze the effects of disposal.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: Comments and recommendations on this notice to 
amend the Judith-Valley-Phillips RMP should be received on or before 
January 27, 1997.

ADDRESS: Comments should be sent to the Phillips Resource Area, 501 
South 2nd St. East, Malta, MT 59538.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Rick Hotaling, Area Manager, Phillips Resource Area, 501 South 23nd St 
East, Malta, MT 59538, 406/654-1240.

    Dated: December 13, 1996.

District Manager.
