AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice of Intent is to advise the public that the Bureau 
of Land Management (BLM) intends to consider a proposal which would 
require amending an existing planning document.

commence with publication of this notice. Comments must be submitted

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, 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 560 acres described as follows: T. 29 S., R. 3 
W., Section 28, SW\1/4\NE\1/4\, E\1/2\NW\1/4\, SW\1/4\NW\1/4\, N\1/
2\SW\1/4\, SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, SE\1/4\ and Section 33, N\1/2\NE\1/4\ and 
Section 34, SW\1/4\SW\1/4\, 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.

    Dated: February 7, 1997.
G. William Lamb,
State Director.
