Notice of Intent to Amend to Cascade Resource Management Plan, 
Idaho.

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the BLM Planning Regulations (43 CFR part 1600) 
this notice advises the public that the Cascade Resource Area of the 
Boise District, Lower Snake River Ecosystem, Bureau of Land Management, 
is proposing to amend the Cascade Resource Management Plan. This 
amendment will allow consideration of an application for Indemnity 
School Land Selection from the State of Idaho which would allow the 
transfer of 920 acres of public land in Valley County to the State of 
Idaho. The public lands are described as:

Boise Meridian, Idaho

T. 17 N., R. 4 E.,
    Section 21: S\1/2\NW\1/4\, S\1/2\SE\1/4\,
    Section 22: N\1/2\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\, E\1/2\SE\1/4\,
    Section 33: E\1/2\SW\1/4\, W\1/2\SE\1/4\,
    Section 35: SW\1/4\, NE\1/4\SE\1/4\, W\1/2\SE\1/4\,
T. 18 N., R. 4 E.,
    Section 17: SE\1/4\NE\1/4\,
    Section 19: E\1/2\E\1/2\.

    The main issue anticipated in this plan amendment is whether it is 
appropriate to transfer the subject lands to the State of Idaho to 
satisfy part of the remaining entitlement for lands which the State of 
Idaho did not receive at statehood.
    A land use plan amendment and environmental analysis will be 
prepared for the subject lands by an interdisciplinary team including 
recreation, visual, botany, wildlife, fisheries, forestry, minerals, 
range, soils, and cultural resource specialists.

DATES: For a period of 30 days from the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments 
to the Ecosystem Manager at the address shown below.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to the Ecosystem Manager, Bureau of 
Land Management, Lower Snake River Ecosystem, Boise District, 3948 
Development Avenue, Boise, Idaho 83705.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Effie Schultsmeier, Cascade Area Realty Specialist, 3948 Development 
Avenue, Boise, Idaho 83705, (208) 384-3300 to obtain additional 
information regarding this plan amendment. The existing land use plan 
and maps are available for review at the Cascade Resource Area office 
in Boise, Idaho.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject lands have been segregated from 
the public land laws, including the mining and mineral leasing laws by 
submission of the State's application on July 6, 1995. The segregative 
effect of this Notice on the public lands shall end upon issuance of a 
clearlist or two years from the date of the application, whichever 
occurs first.

    Dated: August 2, 1995.
Sharon L. Sita,
Acting Ecosystem Manager.
