SUMMARY: The following described public lands in Wayne County, Utah

    Specifically, the permitted Animal Unit Months (AUMs) will not be 
reduced because of this sale, but the land (80 acres) will be excluded 
from the allotment effective upon issuance of the patent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon publication of this notice in the
