Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment (EA)/Finding 
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for a Proposed Plan Amendment to the 
Henry Mountain Management Framework Plan (MFP)

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Utah Bureau of Land 
Management, Richfield Field Office has completed an EA/FONSI for a 
Proposed Amendment to the Henry Mountain MFP and is available for 
public review. The public lands involved are covered by the Henry 
Mountain MFP and are located in Townships 28 through 30 South, Ranges 
15 through 17 East, Salt Lake Meridian, Utah.
    A livestock permittee (in coordination with the BLM and a land 
conservation group) has proposed to voluntarily relinquish a portion of 
his livestock grazing privileges within the Robbers Roost Allotment for 
the long term benefit of land and wildlife resources. Subsequently, the 
proposed action would be to prohibit livestock grazing in a portion of 
the Robbers Roost Allotment and would amend the MFP by changing the 
allocation of livestock forage within that area. In order to keep 
livestock out of the area of the allotment where grazing privileges are 
relinquished, construction of two segments of new fence and a 
cattleguard would be necessary.

DATES: The protest period for this proposed amendment commences with 
the publication of this notice. Protests must be submitted to the 
Director of the Bureau of Land Management on or before March 20, 2000.
