Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 21, 2000 / Notices 38573

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 horses in I–80 North have

strayed from the nearby Stewart Creek

and Lost Creek HMAs over a period of

time. The area known as I–80 North

contains a large (greater than 50%)

percentage of private land. 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.

Wild Horse populations in the nearby

Stewart Creek, Green Mountain, and

Crooks Mountain HMAs will not be

directly affected by this removal and

will remain above the AMLs established

for them.

Numbers presented are approximate

and will be finalized by a supplemental

census to be conducted during August/

September 2000 in the removal area and

other, nearby HMAs.

A detailed Gather Plan,

Environmental Analysis (EA), and

Record of Decision for this removal are
