Realty Action; Ada and Owyhee, ID

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action--IDI-29516; Exchange of public and 
private lands in Ada and Owyhee Counties, Idaho.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The following described public lands have been determined to 
be suitable for disposal by exchange under sec. 206 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1716):

Boise Meridian, Idaho

T. 1 N., R. 2 E.
    Sec. 5: SE\1/4\NW\1/4\
T. 2 N., R. 2 E.
    Sec. 7: Lot 4, SE\1/4\SW\1/4\
    Sec. 8: SE\1/4\SW\1/4\
    Sec. 14: NW\1/4\NW\1/4\
    Sec. 17: SW\1/4\NW\1/4\, NE\1/4\SW\1/4\
    Sec. 18: S\1/2\NE\1/4\, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    Aggregating 403.40 acres, more or less, in Ada County.

    In exchange for the above described public lands, BLM will acquire 
the following described private lands from Thomas Nicholson and Ronald 
Yanke:

Boise Meridian, Idaho

T. 4 N., R. 2 E.
    Portions of Sections 34 and 35.

    Containing 13.02 acres, more or less, in Ada County.

T. 8 S., R. 6 E.
    Sec. 36: All.

    Containing 640 acres, more or less, in Owyhee County.

    The purpose of this exchange is to dispose of public lands that 
have no legal access, limited resource values, are difficult and 
uneconomic to manage, and would better be managed in private ownership, 
in exchange for private lands that contain important wildlife, 
riparian, and recreation values in Hulls Gulch and along the Bruneau 
River Canyon. The public interest will be well served by the completion 
of this exchange, as the consummation thereof will fulfill the 
Secretary's Fish and Wildlife 2000, Recreation 2000, and riparian 
management initiatives.
    The values of the lands to be exchanged are approximately equal. 
Full equalization of values will be accomplished prior to closing 
through either acreage adjustment or cash payment in an amount not to 
exceed 25 percent of the value of the lands to be transferred out of 
Federal ownership.

DATES: On or before June 17, 1994, interested parties may submit 
comments to the District Manager, Bureau of Land Management, Boise 
District, 3948 Development Avenue, Boise, Idaho 83705. Objections to 
this proposal will be reviewed by the State Director, who may sustain, 
modify, or vacate this realty action. In the absence of any adverse 
comments, this realty action will become the final determination of the 
Department of Interior.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
John Sullivan, Resource Management Specialist, at (208) 384-3338.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register segregates the public lands from operation of the public land 
laws and mining laws, but not the mineral leasing laws. The segregative 
effect will end upon issuance of patent or two (2) years from the date 
of publication, whichever occurs first.

valid existing rights and the following reservations, terms, and 
conditions:
