Intent To Gather Excess Wild Horses

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to gather excess wild horses.

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

SUMMARY: During the summer and fall of 1997, the Great Divide Resource 
Area plans to continue implementing the decisions made in Wyoming BLM 
Environmental Analysis WY-037-EA4-122, ``Management Changes in the Wild 
Horse HMAs of the Great Divide Resource Area,'' Environmental Analysis 
WY-037-EA4-121, ``Great Divide Wild Horse Capture Plan,'' and 
Environmental Analysis WY-037-EA1-039, ``Management of Wild, Free 
Roaming Horses That Stray From HMAs''. This will be accomplished by the 
removal of approximately 200 excess horses from the Cyclone Rim HMA, 
150 excess horses outside HMAs north of Interstate 80 and 400 excess 
horses outside HMAs South of Interstate 80. The documents referenced 
above, as well as their supporting documents may be reviewed at the BLM 
Great Divide Resource Area office located at 1300 North, Third Street, 
Rawlins, Wyoming 82301. The referenced decisions determined the 
Appropriate Management levels for the HMAs in the Great Divide Resource 
Area. The planned actions have been reviewed for conformance with these 
decisions and the appropriate land use plan. Inventories conducted in 
February of 1997 identified the presence of excess horses in these 
areas. Actual dates and numbers of horses to be gathered will be 
dependent on weather, ability to place and move trap locations, wild 
horse health, and supplemental inventories to be conducted in 
conjunction with the gathering operations. If you wish to respond to 
this notice and also wish that your name or street address be witheld 
from public review or disclosure under the Freedom Of Information Act, 
you must state this clearly at the beginning of any written comment you 
submit. Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by law.
