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.
