This document provides notice that the BLM, New Mexico State Office, intends to prepare a Fire and Fuels Management Plan Amendment with an associated EA for BLM lands in New Mexico and Texas. This Plan Amendment will amend nine Resource Management Plans (Carlsbad 1988, Farmington 2003, Mimbres 1993, Rio Puerco 1986, Roswell 1997, Socorro 1989, Taos 1988, Texas 1996, White Sands 1986) in eight Field Offices: Albuquerque, Amarillo, Carlsbad, Farmington, Las Cruces, Roswell, Socorro, and Taos. The purpose of the amendment is to incorporate current Fire Management Policy into Resource Management Plans, to restore fire as an integral part of fire-adapted ecosystems in order to meet resource management objectives, to improve the protection of human life and property through the reduction of hazardous fuels, and to establish consistent methods of managing fire and fuels on BLM- administered public lands in New Mexico and Texas.
