Notice of Availability

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a Proposed Plan Amendment/ 
Environmental Assessment for the Book Cliffs Resource Management Plan 
has been completed. Pursuant to this Proposed Amendment/Environmental 
Assessment, new decisions regarding forage reallocation and 
alternatives to access management have been proposed for portions of 
the Book Cliffs Resource Area.

DATES: The proposed plan amendment may be protested. The protest period 
will commence with the date of publication of this notice. Protests 
must be submitted on or before November 27, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Protests to the proposed plan amendment should be addressed 
to the Director (480), Bureau of Land Management, Resource Planning 
Team, Box 10, 1620 L Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20036, within 30 days

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support of the Book Cliffs Initiative, a 
cooperative management effort, which resulted in the acquisition of 
5192 acres by the Bureau of Land Management, and acquisition of Federal 
Grazing permits by involved parties, additional opportunities for 
planning have resulted that were not envisioned at the time the Book 
Cliffs RMP was originally completed (1985). Specifically there is a 
need to: (1) Determine the kind of public access that will be provided 
for the lands acquired by the BLM and; (2) determine the appropriate 
allocation of forage, particularly between livestock and wildlife, for 
the grazing allotments affected by the purchases.
    This Proposed Plan Amendment/Environmental Assessment may be 
protested. Protests should be sent to the Director of the Bureau of 
Land Management using the following protest procedures: (1) The protest 
must contain the name, mailing address, telephone number and interest 
of the person filing the protest; (2) a statement of the issue or 
issues being protested; a statement of the part or parts of the plan 
amendment being protested; (3) a copy of all documents addressing the 
issues that were submitted during the planning process by the 
protesting party; and (4) a concise statement explaining why the State 
Director decision is believed to be wrong.

    Dated: October 18, 1995.
Roger D. Zortman,
Acting State Director.
