In light of new information regarding the occurrence of important paleontological resources, the 680-acre block of public lands near La Puebla in the El Palacio planning unit, proposed as a special recreation management area, would be added to the Sombrillo ACEC. Though the proposed management of this area would not substantially change with its inclusion into the ACEC, it is appropriate that the Proposed RMP recognize its significant paleontological values.
