SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
document provides notice that the BLM
Las Cruces District Office, Las Cruces,
New Mexico, intends to prepare an
RMPA with an associated EA for the
Mimbres Planning Area and announces
the beginning of the scoping process
and seeks public input on issues and
planning criteria.
The BLM is currently considering
disposal of public lands in Grant
County, New Mexico, and the exact
acreage and legal descriptions will be
determined by a Cadastral survey. The
public lands proposed for disposal are
currently identified for retention in
Federal ownership in the 1993 Mimbres
RMP. Therefore, the RMP must be
amended to identify the public lands as
suitable for exchange and/or sale. These
public lands are a portion of and within
the following areas:
New Mexico Principal Meridian
T. 17 S., R. 12 W.,
Secs. 3, 4, 9, 10, 15, 16, 20, 24 and 31.
T. 17 S., R. 11 W.,
Secs. 19 and 20.
T. 19 S., R. 15 W.,
Secs. 8, 16, 17, 21, 27 and 28.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the planning
process. Preliminary issues for the
planning area have been identified by
the BLM personnel, other agencies, and
in meetings with individuals and user
groups. These issues are:
1. Should public lands adjacent to the
Gila National Forest be identified for
disposal? If so, which public lands?
2. What potential impacts would this
proposed action have on the Gila
National Forest?
3. What effects would this proposed
action have on mining in the area?
Proposed planning criteria include
the following:
1. The RMPA/EA process will be in
compliance with the Federal Land
