Summary

This Notice of Intent is to advise the public that the Utah Richfield Field Office, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) intends to consider a proposal which would require amending an existing planning document. The BLM is proposing to amend the Mountain Valley Management Framework Plan which includes public lands in Sevier County, Utah. The purpose of the amendment would be to identify certain lands as suitable for direct sale pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. The lands under consideration for being identified for direct sale comprise 440.85 acres described as follows: T. 22 S., R. 1 W., SLB&M, Section 1, Lots 1-4, S 1/2 N 1/2 , N 1/2 SW 1/4 , SW 1/4 SW 1/4 .

Dates

The comment period for this proposed plan amendment will commence with publication of this notice. Comments must be made within 30 days of this publication in the Federal Register .

Supplementary Information

The existing plan does not identify these lands for disposal. However, because of the resource values and public values and objectives involved, the public interest may well be served by sale of these lands. An environmental assessment will be prepared by an interdisciplinary team to analyze the impacts of this proposal and alternatives. Dated: March 29, 2002. Robert A. Bennett, Acting State Director.
