Notice of Intent; Amendment to Resource Management Plan; San 
Rafael Resource Area, Price, Utah

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to advise the public that the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) is proposing to amend the San Rafael Resource 
Management Plan (RMP) approved May 24, 1991, to address the impacts of 
mining law administration activities in Emery County, Utah. The 
amendment will also address land exchanges within the resource area.

DATES: For a period of 30 days from date of publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments on the 
issues to be addressed in the subsequent Environmental Analysis.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Penny Dunn, Area Manager, San Rafael 
Resource Area, 900 North 700 East, Price, Utah 84501. Existing planning 
documents and information are available at the above address or 
telephone [phone]. Comments on the proposed plan amendment 
should be sent to the above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM is proposing to amend the San Rafael 
RMP, which includes lands in Emery County. The proposed amendment would 
address the impacts of exploration and mining of locatable minerals 
such as gypsum, gold, and uranium. The existing plan does not address 
mining impacts of sufficient scope to cover current and future 
activity. An environmental analysis will be prepared to assess the 
impacts or the best projected development scenario and alternatives. In 
addition, the proposed amendment will address land exchanges which 
would enable the BLM to meet the goals and objectives set forth in the 
San Rafael RMP. The existing plan does not address a full spectrum of 
exchange opportunities. An environmental analysis will be prepared to 
assess the impacts of anticipated exchange proposals.

    Dated: July 6, 1995.
Katherine Kitchell,
District Manager.
