Management proposes to amend the Redding
Resource Management Plan pursuant to the Code of
Federal Regulations
(CFR) at 43 CFR 1610.2(c). The proposed amendment
would establish or
revise designations of ways, routes, and trails for
off-highway
vehicles in accordance with 43 CFR part 8342. The
proposals will
include public lands in the Interlakes Special
Recreation Management
Area, a complex of routes west of French Gulch Road
and east of County
Line Road North, the Sacramento River Bend Area of
Critical
Environmental Concern (ACEC), and other areas that may
be identified in
the planning process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Input from previous public
meetings and
written comments from previous public discussions will
be used to
define issues. Preliminary issues identified include:
Off-highway
vehicle recreation use; adequate vehicle access for
other casual uses,
and visitor safety. All vehicular travel on public
lands in the
planning area will be restricted to the designated
routes.
Planning criteria will honor valid existing
rights. The amendment
will be consistent with officially approved resource
related plans,
policies and programs of other Federal agencies, State
and local
governments, and Indian Tribes, so long as the
guidance and plans are
consistent with the purposes,

[[Page 34419]]

policies and programs of Federal laws and regulations
applicable to
public lands. The plan will comply with trail
designation regulations
(43 CFR part 8340). The planning process shall include
an environmental
assessment with a biological evaluation prepared in
compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the
President's
Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations (40
CFR part 1500),
and BLM planning regulations (40 CFR part 1600). The
Bureau will rely
largely on existing route inventory data, information
obtained from
coordination with other federal, state, and local
agencies, and public
comments.
Comments, including names and addresses of
respondents, will be
available for public review at the Redding Field
Office during normal
working hours (7:45 AM to 4:30 PM, except holidays),
and may be
published as part of the EA or other related
documents. Individuals may
request confidentiality. If you wish to withhold your
name or address
from public review or from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information
Act, you must state this promptly at the beginning of
your comment.
Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by
law. All
submissions from organizations or businesses will be
made available for
public inspection in their entirety.

Dated: March 7, 2003.
Charles M. Schultz,
Field Manager.
