planning documents and information

are available at the above address or

telephone (801) 896–1500. Comments

on the proposed plan amendment

should be sent to the above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM

is proposing to amend the Mountain

Valley Management Framework Plan

which includes public lands in Piute

County, Utah. The purpose of the

amendment would be to identify certain

lands as suitable for direct sale pursuant

to Section 203 of the Federal Land

Policy and Management Act of 1976.

The lands identified for direct sale

comprise 560 acres described as follows:

T. 29 S., R. 3 W., Section 28, SW1⁄4NE1⁄4,

E1⁄2NW1⁄4, SW1⁄4NW1⁄4, N1⁄2SW1⁄4,

SE1⁄4SW1⁄4, SE1⁄4 and Section 33,

N1⁄2NE1⁄4 and Section 34, SW1⁄4SW1⁄4,

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah.

The existing plan does not identify

these lands for disposal. However,

because of the resource values and

public values and objectives involved,

the public interest may well be served

by sale of these lands. An

environmental assessment will be

prepared by an interdisciplinary team to

analyze the impacts of this proposal and

alternatives.
