Target Authorization Body

The FWG proposes pursing the

development of this Facility

Identification Standard as an FGDC

standard. The FWG may consider

pursuing (at a later date) the

development of the Integrated Standard

as an ANSI (American National

Standards Institute) Standard within an

ANSI’s technical committee. FGDC

would serve as the Target Authorization

Body until this Facility Identification

Standard becomes an ANSI Standard.

Notice of Public Scoping Meetings

South Cow Mountain Recreation Area

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTIONS: Notice of intent and scoping

period.

SUMMARY: The South Cow Mountain

Recreation Area is currently managed

under the Management Framework Plan

of 1971 (MFP) and the ORV plan of

1982. Due to changing public values and

the acquisition of additional parcels, it

is necessary to amend the MFP. No

major shift in management strategy is

anticipated. The aim of the plan

amendment is to refine the existing

successful policies and address social,

economic and environmental issues

resulting from the success of the present

management strategy. The objectives are

to better serve the recreating public in

an environmentally sound, socially

acceptable manner. A series of scoping

meetings will be held to accept public

comment on issues that should be

addressed in this plan amendment.

Written comments will also be accepted.

extensions to the 14-day camping limit.

Persons exempt from this restriction

order include agency and emergency
