Utah Bureau of Land Management Price Field Office Resource 
Management Plan and the Richfield Field Office Resource Management 
Plan; Extension of Scoping Periods.

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of extension of scoping periods.

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

SUMMARY: The Price Field Office and Richfield Field Office published 
Notices

[[Page 2668]]

of Intent to prepare Resource Management Plans (RMP) in the Federal 
Register on November 7 and November 1, 2001 respectively. These notices 
officially started the scoping process for each planning area.
    Since that time, the public has expressed an interest in extending 
the scoping period for each of these plans. In order to be responsive 
to the public, the Utah Bureau of Land Management (BLM) hereby extends 
the scoping periods for both of the above mentioned plans.
    Comments, including names and addresses of respondents, will be 
available for public review at the BLM offices listed in this notice 
during regular business hours. If you wish to withhold your name and or 
address from public review or from disclosure under the Freedom of 
Information Act, you must state so prominently at the beginning of your 
written comments.
    Public notification of scoping meetings and open houses will be 
made in local and regional publications at least 15 days prior to the 
meetings being held. Meetings are expected to be held in locally 
affected communities as well as the Wasatch Front area.
    Even though the formal scoping period ends on the dates described 
below, opportunities to get involved in planning are still available 
for all of our planning efforts. You are welcome at any time to contact 
our offices which are involved in planning. Our ability to consider 
your input will become more limited the closer we get to alternative 
development and analysis. These phases are expected to begin in late 
summer and fall of 2002.

DATES: The scoping period for the Price Field Office Resource 
Management Plan is extended to February 1, 2002. The scoping period for 
the Richfield Field Office Resource Management Plan is extended to 
April 1, 2002. All comments regarding issues, concerns, resource 
values, or considerations for alternative development are due by the 
dates listed above and will be summarized in a forthcoming Scoping 
Summary Report.

ADDRESSES: For the Richfield Field Office Resource Management Plan, 
written comments should be sent to RMP Comments, Bureau of Land 
Management, Richfield Field Office, 150 East 900 North, Richfield Utah 
84701; or faxed at 1-435-896-1550. For the Price Field Office Resource 
Management Plan, written comments should be sent to RMP Comments, 
Bureau of Land Management, Price Field Office, 125 South 600 West,

    Documents pertinent to these proposals including public comment may 
be examined at either BLM Field Office during regular business hours; 8 
a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
