This task identifies that the Bureau is to program <br />$6,000 for development of two HMPs in FY 78. As identified in Item <br />144, we recommend that this be changed to one HMP and $11,000. The <br />D ~ Bureau's Annual Work Plan (AWP) for FY 78 has been submitted to <br />Washington and no monies were identified for HMP development along <br />the Virgin River.

Until such time as <br />funds are made available, we do not anticipate being able to write <br />this Management Plan. <br />D 4 8. Page 38, Estimated Annual Expenditures by Agency. The comments on <br />the $6,000 identified for BLM expenditures in FY 78 are the same as <br />discussed in Item 7. <br />We appreciate the opportunity to review this Plan. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Acting State Director <br />40 <br />
