Resource Management Plan Amendment

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Alturas Field Office, Alturas, 
California.

ACTION: Resource Management Plan Amendment.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the authorities in National Environmental Policy 
Act (Pub. L. 91-190) and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
(Pub. L. 94-579), the U. S. Bureau of Land Management's Alturas Field 
Office is proposing to amend the Alturas Resource Area Resource 
Management Plan (RMP) through finalization of a Tablelands Integrated 
Resource Management Plan (TIRMP).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed TIRMP has been developed over 
the last several years with input from a steering committee made up of 
a variety of local interests. The Tablelands Planning Area is located 
in Northeastern California approximately 7 miles to the southeast of 
the town of Alturas, and extends south approximately 17 miles to the 
town of Likely. This 56,000 acre planning area consists primarily of 
public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (85%). 
Disciplines represented in development of the proposed TIRMP include: 
wildlife biology, fisheries, recreation, range management, hydrology, 
fire management, botany, archaeology and forestry. Specific aspects of 
the RMP proposed for amendment include: land disposal actions, 
livestock grazing in the Fitzhugh Creek corridor, livestock grazing 
season-of-use, establishment of a new grazing allotment, and 
recreation, transportation and timber management. Copies of the 
proposed TIRMP are available for review at the Alturas Field Office.

DATES: Comments and recommendations will be received on or before 
November 18, 1998. The environmental assessment will be available 
within 45 days from the date of this notice. Comments on the 
environmental assessment should be submitted within 75 days of this
