ACTION: The Bureau of Land Management proposes to exchange public land 
for private land with the Broken O Ranch. The public lands are in

habitat, riparian area, recreation use area, and access to other high 
value public land. Disposal of the public lands is in conformance with

exchange is in the public interest. The Bureau of Land Management 
advised State and local officials about the proposed exchange.
    The following described public lands are suitable for disposal by
