areas that provide habitat for desert bighorn sheep, mule and white-
tail deer, javelina, small game, and a great variety of nongame 
species including several listed as threatened or endangered by the 
State of New Mexico and to consolidate public land for better 
management opportunities and legal hunter access. The public 
interested was served through completion of this exchange.
    The values of the Federal public land and the non-Federal land 
in the exchange were equal.

    At 9 a.m. on April 22, 1994, the land acquired by the United States 
shall be open to the operation of the public land laws, generally, 
subject to valid existing rights, the provisions of existing 
withdrawals, and the requirements of applicable law. All applications 
received at or prior to 9 a.m. on April 22, 1994, shall be considered 
as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received thereafter shall 
be considered in the order of filing.
