Proposed Plan Amendment

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

[UT-050-04-4210-05]

Proposed Plan Amendment

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: This notice of intent is to advise the public that the Bureau

of Land Management (BLM) intends to consider a proposal which would

require amending an existing planning document.

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

SUMMARY: The BLM is proposing to amend the Warm Springs Resource

Management Plan, which includes BLM-administered lands in Millard

County, Utah. The purpose of the amendment would be to identify certain

lands as suitable for transfer to the State of Utah, through State

indemnity selection, for agricultural purposes.

DATES: The comment period for this proposed plan amendment will

commence with the date of publication of this notice. Comments must be

submitted on or before August 24, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed plan amendment should be sent to F.

Rex Rowley, Bureau of Land Management, Warm Springs Resource Area

Manager, 15 East 500 North, P.O. Box 778, Fillmore, Utah 84631.

Existing planning documents and information are available at the above

address or telephone (801) 743-6811.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lands identified for transfer comprise

200 acres in Millard County described as follows: T. 21 S., R. 19 W.,

Sec. 29, W\1/2\SW\1/4\, E\1/2\SE\1/4\, SW\1/4\SE\1/4\, Salt Lake

Meridian, Utah. The existing plan does not identify these lands for

disposal. However, the State of Utah filed a State indemnity selection

application, UTU-71695, to have 200 acres of Federally owned land and

interest in land transferred to the State of Utah pursuant to sections

2275 and 2276 of the Revised Statutes, as amended, (43 U.S.C. 851-852).

Satisfaction of indemnity selection rights and disposal of parcels for

that purpose are considered as ``serving the national interest'' in the

context of Section 102(a)(1) of the Federal Land Policy and Management

Act of 1976 (FLPMA) and in connection with land use planning.

Therefore, this proposal appears to have merit and will be considered

through the plan amendment process.

A.J. Meredith,

Acting State Director.
