raises antibody responses in a Tindependent fashion, which allows

antibodies to be raised in the absence of

T cell help. BA–LPS is much less toxic

than LPS from other bacteria, and is

much less potent than other bacterial

LPS in including inflammatory

cytokines. Thus, BA–LPS is much less

likely to cause endotoxic shock. There

are no foreign patent rights. The

invention is further described in

Infection & Immunity 61(5), pp. 1722–

1729, 1993.

Arizona: Intent To Prepare a Resource

Management Plan Amendment (Wild

Horse and Burro Herd Management

Area) and Environmental Assessment

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Intent To Prepare a

Resource Management Plan

Amendment/Environmental Assessment

and Invitation to Participate in the

Identification of Issues; Yuma Field

Office, AZ.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management (BLM), Yuma Field Office,

is preparing an Amendment/

Environmental Assessment to the Yuma

District Resource Management Plan to

revise wild horse and burro

management provisions. The proposed

Amendment would update management

provisions for the Cibola-Trigo Herd

Management Area in conformance with

the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro

Act, as amended, (16 U.S.C. 1331–1340)

1994. Under the proposed Amendment,

horses and burros would be managed to

maintain an appropriate management

level that will provide for a thriving

natural ecological balance within the

Cibola-Trigo Herd Management Area

south of Interstate 10 and west of the

impact area from the Yuma Proving

Ground firing range located near

Highway 95, at the southern portion of

the military reservation.

DATES: Written comments related to the

identification of issues for the proposed

Amendment will be accepted on or

before August 19, 1998. A public

meeting will be held on August 19,

1998, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the BLM

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ron

Morfin, Planning Team Leader, Yuma

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM

Yuma Field Office is currently

coordinating efforts with the U.S. Fish

and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Yuma

Proving Ground, and Arizona Game and

Fish Department to develop a

cooperative management plan for lands

and resources contained within the

Cibola-Trigo Wild Horse and Burro Herd

Management Area through an

interdisciplinary planning team.

Considering other land and resource

values and multiple uses and to provide

for a thriving natural ecological balance,

management objectives and direction

will be proposed for wild horse and

burro herds through this effort to reach

and maintain the appropriate

management level as established by the

Cibola-Trigo Herd Management Area

Plan. National BLM Policies and

guidance at 43 CFR 4700 require that

management direction affecting wild

horses and burros shall be established

through the Land Use Planning Process

pursuant to 43 CFR 1600.

Issues to be addressed include: the

presence of burros at impact areas from

a munitions research and development

firing range; management of animals

outside of the herd area; management of

the current horse and burro herd to

reach and maintain an appropriate

management level; provisions for

refining forage utilization monitoring

protocols; and the use of new

technologies to monitor herd size.

Documents relevant to the planning

process will be available for public

review at the BLM Yuma Field Office,

2555 Gila Ridge Road, Yuma, Arizona.

This notice is published under the

authority found in 43 CFR 1610.2(c).

Dated: July 8, 1998.
