[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 26 (Friday, February 7, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 5838] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-3059] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR [UT-056-1430-01-24-1A] Notice of Intent to Amend Plan SUMMARY: This Notice of Intent is to advise the public that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) intends to consider proposals which would require amending an existing planning document. DATES: The comment period for this proposed plan amendment will commence with publication of this notice. Comments must be submitted on or before March 10, 1997. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dave Henderson, Sevier River Resource Area Manager, 150 East 900 North, Richfield, Utah 84701. Existing planning documents and information are available at the above address or telephone (801)896-1500. Comments on the proposed plan amendment should be sent to the above address. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM is proposing to amend the Mountain Valley Management Framework Plan which includes public lands in Piute County and Sevier County, Utah. The purpose of the amendment would be to identify certain lands as suitable for direct sale pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. The lands identified for direct sale comprise 15.0 acres described as follows: T. 26 S., R. 1 W., Sec. 11, S1/2NE1/4NE1/4SE1/4 and T. 30 S., R. 4 W., Section 23, SE1/4SW1/4SW1/4, Salt Lake Meridian, Utah. The existing plan does not identify these lands for disposal. However, because of the resource values and public values and objectives involved, the public interest may well be served by sale of these lands. An environmental assessment will be prepared by an interdisciplinary team to analyze the impacts of this proposal and alternatives. Joseph L. Jewkes, Acting State Director, Utah.
