DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Notice

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 do a plan amendment for the Virgin 
River Management Framework Plan (MFP) located in Washington County, 
Utah.

DATES: The comment period for this proposed plan amendment will 
commence with publication of this notice. Comments must be submitted on 
or before January 13, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:   Dale Ross, Realty Specialist, Dixie 
Resource Area Office, 225 North Bluff Street, St. George, UT 84770. 
Existing planning documents and information are available at the above 
address or telephone (801) 673-4654. Comments on the proposed plan 
amendment should be sent to the above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM is proposing to amend the Virgin 
River MFP which includes lands in Washington County, Utah. The proposed 
amendment would be to make certain public land available for lease/sale 
pursuant to the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43 
U.S.C. 869 et seq.), to Washington County, a local government entity, 
for the purpose of constructing a fairgrounds with race track and 
associated facilities. It is the intent of Washington County to 
relocate the present facilities located in the Dixie Downs area on land 
formerly owned by Washington County because of land acquisition by the 
State of Utah.
    The public land being considered for disposal, comprising 420.27 
acres, is described as follows:

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah,

T. 42 S., R. 14 W.,
    Sec. 3, lots 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24 and 
26.

    The areas described aggregate 420.27 acres.

    A consistency review was conducted and while the request was found 
not consistent with current planning guidance, the Bureau of Land 
Management believes that it has merit and therefore proposes to conduct 
an environmental assessment to determine environmental consequences and 
impacts on the existing planning decisions and proposed amendments.
Mat Millenbach,
State Director.
