Price, Utah—August 29, 2008—The Bureau of Land Management announces that the Proposed Resource Management Plan (PRMP) for the Price field office is available to the public. The release of the PRMP initiates a 30-day protest period. The BLM prepared these documents considering public comments received during the comment period for the Draft RMP, and in consultation with its cooperating agencies, the State of Utah, and counties within the Price planning area.

The Price field office received numerous comment submissions on the Draft RMP.  All comments and the BLM’s responses are included with the document, which also highlights the changes made between the Draft RMP and the Proposed RMP. 

The protest period begins August 29, 2008, the date the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published the Notice of Availability of the PRMP in the Federal Register, and concludes September 29, 2008.  After any protests are addressed, the BLM will issue a Record of Decision which will authorize the management decisions outlined in the RMP.

Information on the protest procedure can be found in the Proposed RMP and on the Price RMP website:  http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/price/planning.html. The website contains the entire Proposed RMP, along with the Draft RMP and supporting documents.  CDs and hard copies are available by contacting the Price Field Office at 125 South 600 West, Price, Utah 84501, or by calling (435) 636-3600.
