Salt Lake District Proposed Fire Management Plan

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management, Salt Lake District Office, has 
completed an Environmental Assessment (EA)/Finding of No Significant 
Impact (FONSI) for a Proposed Fire Management Plan which would amend 
the following plans: (1) Pony Express Resource Management Plan (1990); 
(2) Box Elder Resource Management Plan (1986); (3) Isolated Tract 
Planning Analysis (1985); (4) Park City Management Framework Plan 
(1982); and (5) Randolph Management Framework Plan (1980). The Proposed 
Fire Management Plan amends the plans by reintroducing fire as a 
critical natural process into the ecosystem and providing a 
comprehensive and consistent policy of how fires are handled for all 
public lands administered by the District.

will commence with the date of publication of this notice. Protests 
must be submitted on or before July 15, 1998.

of Land Management, Attn: Brenda Williams, Resource Planning Team, 1849 
C Street, NW., Washington, DC 20240, within 30 days after the date of 
publication of this notice for the proposed planning amendment.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dan Washington, Bureau of Land 
Management, Salt Lake District Office, 2370 South 2300 West, telephone 
(801) 977-4346. Copies of the Proposed Plan Amendment are available for 
review at the Salt Lake District Office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Any person who participated in the planning 
process and has an interest which is or may be adversely affected by 
the Proposed Plan Amendment may protest to the Director of the Bureau 
of Land Management. The protest must be in writing and filed within 30 
days of the date of publication of this Notice of Availability in the

--A copy of all documents addressing the issue(s) that were submitted 
by the protestor during the planning process; and
--A concise statement explaining why the BLM State Director's proposed 
decision is believed to be in error.

    In the absence of timely objections, this proposal shall become the 
final determination of the Department of the Interior.
G. William Lamb,
State Director, Utah.
