DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

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.
