AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Action--Amendment of Pocatello Resource Management 
Plan (RMP); Notice of Realty Action (NORA), Exchange of Public Lands in 
Bingham County, Idaho.

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

NOTICE: Notice is hereby given that the Bureau of Land Management has 
amended the Pocatello RMP to allow for an exchange and management of 
acquired lands in Bingham County, Idaho. The effective date of this 
action will be 60 days from the date of Federal Register publication.

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

Boise Meridian

T. 1 S., R. 38 E.,
    Sec. 17, S\1/2\SW\1/4\;
    Sec. 18, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\, E\1/2\SW\1/4\, S\1/2\SE\1/4\;
    Sec. 19, N\1/2\NE\1/4\, NE\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 400.00 acres in Bingham County.

    County the following described lands which have been examined and 
through the public supported land use planning process have been 
identified to be managed through multiple use management pursuant to 
the Federal Land Management Policy and Management Act of 1976:

Boise Meridian

T. 3 S., R. 39 E.,
    Sec. 33, SW\1/4\SW\1/4\;
    Sec. 34, W\1/2\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 120.00 acres in Bingham County.

DATES: The publication of this notice in the Federal Register will 
segregate the public lands described above to the extent that they will 
not be subject to appropriation under the public land laws. As provided 
by the regulations of 43 CFR 2201.1(b), any subsequently tendered 
application, allowance of which is discretionary shall not be accepted, 
shall not be considered as filed and shall be returned to the 
applicant. The segregative effect of this notice will terminate upon 
issuance of patent or in two years, whichever occurs first.

ADDRESSES: Detailed information concerning the exchange is available 
for review at the Pocatello Resource Area Office, 1111 North 8th Ave., 
Pocatello, Idaho 83201.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Contact Debra Kovar, Realty Specialist, at the above address or call 
(202) 236-6860.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the land exchange is to 
facilitate more efficient management of the public lands through 
consolidation of ownership and to benefit the public interest by 
obtaining important resource values. The public lands to be exchanged 
are isolated and difficult to manage parcels with limited resource 
values. The private lands being offered have very important values for 
watershed/riparian, recreation, wildlife and access that merit 
acquisition for public ownership. The exchange is consistent with the 
Bureau of Land Management land use plan, as amended, and the public 
interest will be served by making this exchange. Final determination on 
disposal will await completion of an environmental analysis, which will 
be made available to the public.
    The value of the lands to be exchanged is approximately equal, and 
the acreage will be adjusted to equalize the value upon completion of 
the final appraisal of the lands. Equalization of values will be 
achieved through acreage adjustment or cash payment by the proponent, 
whichever is appropriate.
    The exchange will be subject to:
    1. All valid existing rights, including any right-of-way easement, 
permit, or lease of record.
    2. A reservation to the United States of a right-of-way for ditches 
and canals constructed by the authority of the United States under the 
Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).

PLANNING PROTEST: Any party that participated in the plan amendment may 
protest this action as it affects issues submitted for the record 
during the planning process. The protest shall be in writing and filed 
with the Director (760), Bureau of Land Management, 1800 ``C'' Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20240, within 30 days of this notice.

EXCHANGE COMMENTS: For a period of 45 days from the date of publication 
of this notice in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit 
comments to the District Manager at the above address. Objections will 
be reviewed by the State Director who may sustain, vacate, or modify 
this realty action. In the absence of any objections, this realty 
action will become the final determination of the Department of the 
Interior.

    Dated: September 30, 1994.
Gary L. Bliss,
Associate District Manager.
