Notice of Intent to Remove Stray Wild Horses

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
SUMMARY: The Wild, Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act (PL 92-195) 
requires, among other things, that wild horses that exceed the 
Appropriate Management Levels established for them be removed. In order 
to accomplish that, the Rawlins Field Office of the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) plans to remove approximately 300-400 excess horses 
from the Stewart Creek Herd Management Area (HMA). The removal is 
scheduled to begin on or about February 15, 2001, and conclude on or 
about April 1, 2001. The Appropriate Management Level for the Stewart 
Creek HMA is 150. At least 150 horses will remain in the Stewart Creek 
HMA after the removal is completed.
    Wild Horse populations in the nearby Lost Creek, Green Mountain, 
and Crooks Mountain HMAs will not be directly affected by this removal 
and will remain within the AMLs established for them.
    A detailed Gather Plan, Environmental Analysis (EA), and Record of 
Decision for this removal are available on request from: Chuck Reed, 
Bureau of Land Management, Rawlins Field Office 1300 North Third 
Street, P.O. Box 2047, Rawlins, WY 82301, (307) 328-4213, email: 
[email protected].
    These documents are also available for review on the BLM website at 
www.wy.blm.gov/nepa/nfnepahome.html.
    This removal action represents continued implementation of 
decisions previously communicated through Decision Records WY-037-EA4-
121/122 dated July 11, 1994; and WY-030-EA0-037 dated February 25, 
2000.
