Proposed Resource Area Management Plan Amendment, Bishop Resource Area, California

In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) and the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 1501.7, 43 CFR 1610.5-5), notice is hereby given that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes two plan amendments to the Bishop Resource Area Management Plan. The first proposed plan amendment would correct the administrative status and release from further wilderness review eight Section 202 Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in the Bishop Resource Area. The WSAs would no longer be managed under Wilderness Interim Management Policy and would be subject to prescriptions in the Bishop Resource Management Plan (1993). The second proposed plan amendment would identify a parcel of land in Inyo County, CA for disposal to the Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power as part of the land exchange to acquire the Manzanar National Historic Site. The parcel, known as the Owens River parcel, is 259.03 acres. In addition, the proposed Manzanar exchange includes one of the Section 202 WSA parcels to be released from wilderness review.
