Notice of Intent To Gather Excess Wild Horses During Calendar 
Year 2000

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Rock Springs Field 
Office, prepared an environmental assessment for wild horse gathering 
inside and outside of wild horse herd management areas in 1999. The 
proposed action to gather excess wild horses to appropriate management 
levels was approved in a decision record on July 14, 1999. Gathering of 
excess wild horses to appropriate management levels was not completed 
in 1999. BLM is scheduled to continue gathering operations in the year 
2000. The environmental assessment and decision record are available 
for review at the Rock Springs Field Office, 280 Highway 191 North, 
Rock Springs, Wyoming. It is also available via the world wide web at: 
http://www.wy.blm.gov/currentnews/wildhorses/WILDHORSEADOPTION.HTML The 
planned gathering period will extend from July 15, 2000 until inclement 
weather prevents gathering operations. Up to 800 wild horses may be 
removed from four wild horse herd management areas including Great 
Divide Basin, White Mountain, Little Colorado, and Salt Wells Creek. 
Excess wild horses outside of the herd management areas in the North 
Baxter/Jack Morrow hills areas may also be removed.
