Caliente Management Framework Plan

Desert Tortoise Amendment and

Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Intent and Additional

Scoping Period.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management intends to amend the

Caliente Management Framework Plan

to implement the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service Desert Tortoise (Mojave

Population) Recovery Plan, issued June

1994. The purpose of the plan

amendment is to outline the specific

objectives and planned actions needed

for desert tortoise recovery and for

eventual removal of the desert tortoise

from the federal list of threatened and

endangered animals. The amendment

will delineate Desert Wildlife

Management Areas (Coyote Springs,

Mormon Mesa, and Beaver Dam Slope)

in desert tortoise habitat, and prescribe

management actions inside and outside

these areas in accordance with

provisions in the recovery plan. These

areas will be evaluated for potential

designation as Areas of Critical

Environmental Concern. Potential

impacts will be analyzed through an

environmental impact statement.

There will be an additional 30-day

scoping period to solicit public

comment on the desert tortoise

amendment.

DATES: Additional written comments

must be submitted and postmarked no

later than May 22, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to: Curtis G. Tucker, Area

Manager, Caliente Resource Area, P.O.

Box 237, Caliente, Nevada 89126.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Kyle Teel, Wildlife Biologist, at the

above Caliente Resource Area Office

address or telephone (702) 726–8100.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Desert

Wildlife Management Areas outlined in

the Recovery Plan that are located

within the Caliente Management

Framework Plan area are: Coyote

Springs, Mormon Mesa, and Beaver

Dam slope. For a legal description and/

or a map of these areas, contact the

Caliente Resource Area Office. The

boundaries of these areas may be

modified based on public comments

and resource information received

during this land use plan amendment

process.

This amendment was started in

December of 1994 with a ‘‘Notice of

Intent and Scoping Period,’’ published

in the Federal Register on January 30,

1995, Vol. 60, No. 19, p. 5794. The

original intent was to amend the

Caliente Management Framework Plan

and analyze the potential impacts

through an environmental assessment.

However, due to the complexity of the

resource management issues and

responses from the public, the

determination was made to prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement to

fully analyze the impacts of

implementing the recovery plan and

complete the amendment.

Federal, state and local agencies, and

other individuals or organizations who

are interested in, or affected by aspects

of amending the Caliente Management

Framework Plan to implement the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service Desert

Tortoise (Mojave Population) Recovery

Plan, are invited to participate in this

planning process. If you submitted

comments during the previous scoping

period, you need not resubmit them.

They will be considered along with

comments received as a result of this

notice.

Dated: April 7, 1995.

Ann J. Morgan,

State Director, Nevada.

[ID–943–5420–00–D010; IDI–31072]

Notice of Issuance of Disclaimer of

Interest to Lands; Idaho

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of issuance of disclaimer

of interest in lands in Idaho.

SUMMARY: The United States of America,

pursuant to the provisions of section

315 of the Federal Land Policy and

Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C.

1745), proposes to disclaim and release

all interest to Bill Gatung, the owner of

record, for the following described

property, to wit:

Boise Meridian, Idaho

T. 20 N., R. 22 E.

All lands in section 7, lying between the

adjusted original 1891 left and right bank

meander lines and between the 1891 right

bank meander line and the 1991 left bank

meander line of the Salmon River, except for

Lot 19, as shown on the plat of the dependent

resurvey of Township 20 North, Range 22

East, Boise Meridian, Idaho, accepted July 23,

1993.

The official records, the original

public land survey, and the dependent

resurvey approved and accepted July 23,

1993, show that the land described

above is a combination of avulsed,

accreted, or non-substantial omitted

land created when the river changed

channels subsequent to the 1891 survey.

The land, therefore, is not public land;

and the application by Bill Gattung, for

a disclaimer from the United States for

this land will be approved if no valid

objection is received. This action will

clear a cloud on the title of the

applicant’s land.

DATES: Comments or protests to this

action should be received by July 19,

1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments or protests must

be filed with: State Director (943),

Bureau of Land Management, 3380

Americana Terrace, Boise, Idaho 83706.

Cathie Foster, at the above address, or
