AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to amend the Mountain Valley Management

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

SUMMARY: This Notice of Intent is to advise the public that the Utah

document.
    The BLM is proposing to amend the Mountain Valley Management 
Framework Plan which includes public lands in Sevier County, Utah. The 
purpose of the amendment would be to identify certain lands as suitable 
for direct sale pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976. The lands under consideration for being 
identified for direct sale comprise 440.85 acres described as follows: 
T. 22 S., R. 1 W., SLB&M, Section 1, Lots 1-4, S\1/2\N\1/2\, N\1/
2\SW\1/4\, SW\1/4\SW\1/4\.

DATES: The comment period for this proposed plan amendment will 
commence with publication of this notice. Comments must be made within 
30 days of this publication in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed plan amendment should be sent to 
Jerry Meredith, Acting Richfield Manager, 150 East 900 North, 
Richfield, Utah 84701. Comments, including names and address of 
respondents will be available for public review at the BLM Richfield 
Field Office and may be published as part of the Environmental 
Assessment and other related documents. Individual respondents may 
request confidentiality. If you wish to withhold your name or street 
address from public review and disclosure under the Freedom of 
Information Act, you must state this prominently at the beginning of 
your written request. Such requests will be honored to the extent 
allowed by law. All submissions from organizations and businesses, and 
from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials 
of organizations or businesses, will be made available for public 
inspection in their entirety.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Meredith, Acting Richfield Field 
Office Manager,150 East 900 North, Richfield, Utah 84701. Existing 
planning documents and information are available at the above address 
or telephone (801) 896-1500.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The existing plan does not identify these 
lands for disposal. However, because of the resource values and public 
values and objectives involved, the public interest may well be served 
by sale of these lands. An environmental assessment will be prepared by 
an interdisciplinary team to analyze the impacts of this proposal and 
alternatives.

    Dated: March 29, 2002.
