AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed plan amendment and protest 
period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to amend the 
Grand Resource Management Plan [[Page 3258]] (RMP) for the Grand 
Resource Area, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah. The Proposed 
Amendment is for the purpose of (1) livestock grazing use adjustments; 
(2) flexibility to modify grazing season; and (3) allowance to consider 
future proposals for livestock use adjustments.
    The Livestock Requirements under current management actions are 
proposed to be amended. The proposed plan amendment would (1) allow for 
Livestock Grazing Use Adjustments on the following livestock grazing 
allotments: Cisco, Bogart, Diamond, Cottonwood, Main Canyon, Middle 
Canyon, South Sand Flats, North Sand Flats, Between The Creeks, and 
Arth's Pasture. A portion of the forage previously reserved for 
livestock would be reallocated to non-livestock purposes (enhancement 
of wildlife, riparian vegetation, watershed, and recreation values). In 
total, over 6,000 Animal Unit Months are proposed to be reallocated 
from livestock to non-livestock purposes; (2) allow additional 
flexibility to modify the grazing season of use for individual 
allotments; and (3) allow for future proposals to make adjustments in 
Livestock Grazing Use within the resource area.

DATES: The protest period for this proposed plan amendment will 
commence with publication of this notice. Comments must be submitted on 
or before February 13, 1995.

Manager, 82 East Dogwood, Suite G, Moab, Utah 84532, telephone (801)
