    Disposal of the Federal lands was not analyzed in the Judith-
Valley-Phillips Resource Management Plan (RMP) and associated 
Environmental Impact Statement. Disposal of Federal land requires that 
the specific tract be identified in the land use plan with the criteria 
to be met for exchange and discussion of how the criteria have been 
satisfied. This will be part of the plan amendment and environmental 
assessment. The Lewistown Field Office, Bureau of Land Management will 
prepare an environmental assessment to analyze the effects of disposal.

DATES: Comments and recommendations on this notice to amend the Judith-
Valley-Phillips RMP should be received on or before June 18, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to David L. Mari, Field Manager, 
Lewistown Field Office, P.O. Box 1160, Lewistown, MT 59457-1160.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Loretta Park, Realty Specialist, 406-
538-1910.
