Notice

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare

standards and guidelines, to modify

land use plans, and prepare analyses

pursuant to the National Environmental

Policy Act.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) in Utah intends to

prepare Standards for Rangeland Health,

Guidelines for Grazing Management,

modifications to existing Land Use

Plans, and to prepare appropriate

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) documents for these actions

according to BLM’s new grazing

regulations (43 CFR Part 4100). Public

comment is sought on suggested

standards and guidelines, and on the

issues and alternatives to be considered.

DATES: Comments will be accepted

throughout this process or until further

notice. Public comment periods

specifically for the plan modification

and NEPA process will be provided

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Land Management, Utah State Office,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to BLM’s new grazing regulations (43

CFR Part 4100), which became effective

August 21, 1995, BLM Utah intends to

develop Standards and Guidelines (43

CFR Part 4180) through the BLM

planning and NEPA process. It is

uncertain at this point what level of

plan modification or NEPA analysis will

be conducted. Planning actions may be

plan maintenance, plan amendment, or

new plan preparation. NEPA actions

may be an Administrative

Determination (that an EA/EIS is not

needed), Categorical Exclusion (CX), an

Environmental Assessment (EA), or an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

All Land Use Plans for public lands in

the State of Utah may be affected.

Public comments and opinions are

solicited and encouraged. Public

meetings will be held—information to

be announced later. Guidance will be

sought from the Utah BLM Resource

Advisory Council, user groups, local

leaders, and the public at large.

Issues preliminarily identified are: the

effect of the proposed standards and

guidelines on public land grazing

operations, public land values, and

other uses of the public lands.

Alternatives identified at this time

include adoption of the Fallback

Standards and Guidelines specified in

the new grazing regulations, adoption of

new Standards and Guidelines specific

to Utah, or continuation of current

management under existing land use

plans (where such plans are in

conformance with the Fallback

Standards and Guidelines) accompanied

by incremental implementation of new

Standards and Guidelines on priority

areas.

Acting State Director, Utah.

ACTION: Notice of intent to amend

management framework plan.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

(MFP). The proposed amendment would

consider alternatives for additional

opportunities for land tenure

adjustments in Summit County.

identification of issues for the proposed

plan amendment will commence with

the date of publication of this notice.

Comments must be submitted on or

before January 18, 1996.

Existing planning documents and

address or telephone (801) 977–4300.

Comments on the proposed plan

amendment should be sent to the above

address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bear

River Resource Area of the Salt Lake

District, BLM, is proposing to amend the

Park City MFP to allow for land tenure

adjustments on T. 2 S., R. 3 E., Section

10, NE1⁄4 not previously identified in

the MFP. The main purpose is to

identify and analyze the land for

exchange to the State of Utah for

acquisition of lands that results in a net

gain of important and manageable

resource values on public land. Lands

transferred out of Federal ownership to

State interests, as a result of the

exchange, would be available to meet

the various needs of the respective

parties. Where there are specific uses

proposed on lands identified for

exchange, those uses will be analyzed.

An environmental assessment (EA) will

be prepared to analyze the impacts of

this proposed plan amendment and

alternatives.

Public participation is being sought at

this initial stage in the planning process

to ensure the MFP amendment

addresses all issues, problems and

concerns from those interested in the

management of lands within the Bear

River Resource Area. Necessary

amendments to the approved plan will

keep the document current and viable.

David E. Little,

Acting State Director.
