Furthermore 1 the four sides form a cross, reflecting the religious origin of the Dominguez-Escalante expedition.

They will be incorporated into the final document along with such other changes as may be required as a result of the review process. 1. Page 76 - Substitute the following for the second paragraph under Impacts on T;ansportation and Utilities. "Because of the linear nature of the route, new transmission lines, pipelines or transportation corridors may conflict \dth some route segments. An example would be the proposed Allen-Harner Valley power project. Designation of the Dominguez-Escalante route as a national historic trail would require additional environmental considerations in the planning of such projects. Conversion of trail related historic, scenic and recreation lands to transportation or trans­ mission corridors uould be discouraged if there was a feasible and prudent alternative to the use of such lands. The impact on transportation and utilities would be minimal." 2. Page 79 - Substitute the following for the second paragraph under Impacts on Transportation and Utilities.
