Intent To Amend the California Desert Conservation Area Plan

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 43 CFR 1610.2(c), notice is hereby given that the 
Bureau of Land Management proposes to amend the California Desert 
Conservation Area (CDCA) Plan, 1980 to facilitate the sale of public 
land. The proposed amendment will change the Multiple Use 
Classification (MUC) from Limited (L) to Moderate (M) for the following 
public land:

San Bernardino Meridian, Imperial County, California,
    T.16S., R.9E., sec. 13, SW\1/4\SW\1/4\, (40 acres);
    T.15S., R.16E., sec. 13, SW\1/4\NW\1/4\, (40 acres).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: According to the CDCA Plan, the sale of 
public land is allowed only in MUC M or unclassified lands. The above-
described lands, currently leased to the County of Imperial for the 
Ocotillo Solid Waste Sanitary Landfill and the Holtville Solid Waste 
Sanitary Landfill are classified MUC L. These two parcels of land are 
being considered for conveyance to the County of Imperial under the 
provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act of June 14, 1926, 
as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.) for continued use as solid waste 
sanitary landfills. Decisions on the proposed plan amendment will be 
determined through the environmental assessment process in accordance 
with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and CFR 1610.5-5.

DATES: Written comments on this plan amendment will be accepted on or 
before October 5, 1998. Please address comments to Terry A. Reed, Field 
Manager, Bureau of Land Management,
