Notice of Intent To Amend Land Use Plans

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Alturas Field Office 
(FO), is proposing a Land Tenure Adjustment Action Plan (LTA) for 
public lands managed by the Alturas FO in Modoc, Lassen, Shasta and 
Siskiyou Counties. As part of this process, the following BLM Resource 
Management Plans (RMP) and Management Framework Plans (MFP) will be 
amended to reflect any needed changes.
    (1) Alturas Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact 
Statement (approved 8/28/94).
    (2) Cinder Cone Management Framework Plan (approved July, 1973).
    (3) Mt. Dome Management Framework Plan (approved 11/24/81).
    The BLM Alturas FO is seeking public scoping input into this 
proposed plan amendment. This planning amendment is being conducted 
pursuant to section 202 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, 
as amended (43 U.S.C. 1712).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed Land Tenure Adjustment Plan 
has two general goals: (1) To implement and expand on the land 
acquisition decisions of the BLM Alturas Management Plans; and (2) to 
expand on the disposal/exchange decisions of the Alturas Management 
Plans. This Land Tenure Adjustment (LTA) plan amendment is intended to 
identify broad areas of public lands for disposal through exchange, and 
broad areas where private lands may be acquired by land exchange. This 
LTA plan amendment is intended to implement the goals and objectives 
identified in the Alturas Management Plans by acquiring private lands 
with potentially high public resource values which will provide better 
Federal land management, in exchange for public lands that will meet 
the needs of State and local people as described in section 206(a) of 
FLPMA. The exchanges proposed in this plan amendment are intended to 
result in better Federal land management by the BLM, and in better 
private land management for the landowners who may acquire the public 
lands through the exchanges. Public scoping meetings on this proposed 
plan amendment will be held in towns throughout the affected area.

Burke, Field Manager, Bureau of Land Management, Alturas Field Office,

DATES: Public scoping comments on this proposed land amendment must be
