DATES: Comments should be submitted by August 5, 1994. Comments will

Colorado.

Federal Highway Administration, 202-366-9489.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is 
revising its Transportation Planning Process. The revised process will 
more effectively link the transportation access needs identified in BLM 
resource management plans with the respective State's Department of 
Transportation (SDOT) Statewide Transportation Plan. The purpose is 
better coordination in fulfilling the intent and requirements of 
Section 135, 23 U.S.C., as amended by the Intermodal Surface 
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA).
    Further, the BLM will coordinate with State, county, Tribal, and 
local governments to identify and designate a Land Management Highway 
System (LMHS). The LMHS will consist of those public roads that provide 
major public access to BLM-administered public lands, resources, and 
facilities.
Denise Meridith,
Deputy Director.
