AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to consider amending the Bishop Resource

[[Page 57123]]

Management Plan (RMP) decision relating to season of use on the Marble 
Creek Allotment (#6025), Mono County, CA.

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

SUMMARY: The Marble Creek allotment lies on the alluvial fans on the 
west side and at the foot of the White Mountains, in the ``Tri-Valley'' 
area of Mono County, north of Bishop. It includes approximately 15,700 
acres of public land. The current number of AUMs for the allotment is 
845. At this time, there is no proposal to change the number of AUMs. 
The current season of use is year round. The proposal is to consider 
eliminating summer grazing. Sustained summer grazing may be 
inappropriate due to the vegetation, soils and climate of the 
allotment.

Supplementary Information: Final determination on the RMP amendment 
will be made using an environmental analysis following public comments.
    Detailed information concerning the RMP amendment is available at 
the BLM Bishop Field Office, 785 N. Main St. Suite E, Bishop, Ca 93514 
or by contacting Mark Gish at [phone].
    Comments: For a period of 45 days from the initial date of 
publication of this notice, interested parties may submit valid 
comments on the Bishop RMP amendment to the BLM Bishop Field Manager, 
785 N. Main St. Suite E, Bishop, CA 93514.

    Dated: October 15, 1999.
