Notice of Intent to Extend the Time Period for Removal of Excess 
and Stray Wild Horses

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
SUMMARY: On June 21, 2000, notice was published in the Federal Register 
at Vol. 65, No 120, pgs 38572-38573, which stated in part, ``* * * the 
Rawlins and Lander Field Offices of the Bureau of Land Management plan 
to remove 500-600 excess and stray horses from three contiguous areas 
of the Rawlins and Lander Field Offices known as the Lost Creek HMA, an 
area designated as I-80 North, and the Antelope Hills HMA * * * The 
removal is scheduled to begin after September 30, 2000, and conclude 
prior to January 1, 2001. The Appropriate Management Level for these 
three contiguous areas is 140. At least 140 horses will remain in the 
area after the removal is completed.''

[[Page 75296]]

    Due to weather and logistical considerations, it was not possible 
to complete the action described in the notice in the time period 
originally envisioned; therefore the BLM will complete the action as 
soon after January 1, 2001, as is practical. The action will take place 
in the same manner, in the same places, employ the same practices for 
safe and humane treatment of the horses, and have the same effects as 
discussed in EA# WY-030-EA0-181.
