Notice of Intent To Amend the Klamath Falls Resource Area
Resource Management Plan
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
SUMMARY: This Notice of Intent is to advise the public that the Klamath
Falls Resource Area, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) intends to
consider a proposal which would require amending an existing land use
plan.
DATES: The comment period for this proposed plan amendment will
[[Page 67344]]
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.
