    plan.
    
    DATES: The comment period for this proposed plan amendment will

    commence on December 20, 1996 and must be submitted on or before 
    January 21, 1997.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A. Barron Bail, Klamath Falls Resource 
    Area Manager, 2795 Anderson Ave. Building 25, Klamath Falls, OR 97603. 
    Existing planning documents and information are available at the above 
    address or by phone at 541/883-6916. Comments on the proposed plan 
    amendment should be sent to the above address.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM is proposing to amend the Klamath 
    Falls Resource Area Resource Management Plan which covers the 
    management of public lands administered by the BLM in Klamath County, 
    Oregon. The purpose of the amendment has two parts. The first is to 
    include the following language in the Land Tenure Adjustments section 
    of the plan: ``Where survey hiatuses and unintentional encroachments on 
    public land are discovered in the future which meet the disposal 
    criteria, the lands may automatically be assigned Zone 3 for 
    disposal.'' Public lands in Zone 3 may be disposed of by sale or 
    exchange. The second part of the amendment identifies approximately 1.5 
    acres of public land, T. 40 S,. R. 6 E. Section 1 S\1/2\ (metes and 
    bounds), as suitable for direct sale pursuant to Section 203 of the 
    Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. The existing plan does 
    not identify these lands for disposal nor does it allow BLM the option 
    to resolve survey hiatuses and unintentional encroachments by selling 
    public lands that meet disposal criteria.
        The public interest may be well served by sale of these lands. An 
    environmental assessment will be prepared, along with the plan 
    amendment, by an interdisciplinary team which will analyze the impacts 
    of this proposal and a reasonable range of alternatives.
    
        Dated: December 6, 1996.
    Joe Tague,
    Acting District Manager.
