AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability and protest period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Proposed Tonopah Resource Management Plan (RMP) (Chapter 2
in the document) outlines the proposed management of renewable and non-
renewable resources on approximately 6.1 million acres of public lands
in portions of Nye and Esmeralda Counties, Nevada. The Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) portions of this document analyze
the impacts that may result with the implementation of the proposed
plan, including the proposed designation of seven areas of critical
environmental concern (ACEC). This document also contains the public
comments on the Draft RMP/EIS and responses to the issues pertaining to
the RMP that the public raised.
DATES: A 30-day protest period begins on October 21, 1994. Any protests
must be postmarked on or before November 21, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Protests must be filed with the Director (760), Bureau of
Land Management, Division of Planning and Environmental Coordination
(406 LS), 1849 C Street NW, Washington, D.C. 29240.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ted Angle, Area Manager, at the above Tonopah, Nevada address or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Seven ACECs are being considered for
designation in the Proposed Plan and Final EIS. Resource limitations
and associated impacts have been analyzed in this document. The
following is a list of the proposed ACECs and acreages for each:
Lunar Crater--39,000
Amargosa-Oasis--490
Cane Man Hill--680
Lone Mountain--14,400
Railroad Valley--15,470
Rhyolite--425

Because of the complexity of displaying the resource limitations of
each proposed ACEC in this ``Notice,'' we ask the public to refer to
the section on ACECs in Chapter 2 of the Proposed RMP.
The Proposed RMP may be protested by any person who participated in
the planning process, and who has an interest which is or may be
adversely affected by the approval of the Proposed Plan. A protest may
raise only those issues which were submitted for the record during the
planning process (see 43 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1610.5-
2). Protests must be filed with the National BLM Director at the above
address. All protests must be written and must be postmarked on or
before November 21, 1994 and shall contain the following information:
(1) The name, mailing address, telephone number, and interest of
the person filing the protest.
(2) A statement of the issue or issues being protested.
(3) A statement of the part or parts of the document being
protested.
(4) A copy of all documents addressing the issue or issues
previously submitted during the planning process by the protesting
party, or an indication of the date the issue or issues were discussed
for the record.
(5) A concise statement explaining precisely why the Bureau of Land
Management Nevada State Director's decision is wrong.
Upon resolution of any protests, an Approved Plan and Record of

interested publics upon their request.
