    Management on February 1, 1996, Vol. 61, No. 22, pages 3728-3729. The 
    scoping period is extended and four open house public meetings will be 
    held.
    
    DATES: Comments will be accepted throughout the Statewide plan 
    amendment and NEPA analysis process. However, comments received after 
    March 22, 1996 may not be reflected in the alternatives considered or 
    issues analyzed in the plan amendment and associated NEPA document

    ADDRESS: Any comments or requests to be placed on the mailing list 
    should be sent to: Standards and Guidelines (AZ-930); Bureau of Land 
    Management; P.O. Box 16563; Phoenix, AZ, 85011-6563.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Clint Oke or Ken Mahoney; Co-Team 
    Leaders; Bureau of Land Management (AZ-930); P.O. Box 16563; Phoenix, 
    AZ, 85011-6563; phone (602) 650-0513.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM's new grazing administration 
    regulations (43 CFR Part 4100), which became effective August 21, 1995, 
    provide for the development of state Standards for Rangeland Health and 
    Guidelines for Grazing Management. These Standards and Guidelines are 
    to be approved and implemented through an integrated planning and NEPA 
    process using an interdisciplinary team of specialists pursuant to 
    BLM's Planning Regulations (43 CFR Part 1600). All existing land use 
    plans for public lands in the State of Arizona will be amended. At this 
    point in time, it is undecided what level of NEPA analysis (EA-level or 
    EIS-level) will be needed.
