DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Land Exchange Between the National Park Service and the City of 
Albuquerque

AGENCIES: National Park Service and City of Albuquerque.

ACTION: Proposed Land Exchange and Opportunity for Public Comment, 
Albuquerque, New Mexico.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 16 U.S.C. Sec. 4601-22(b) and the Petroglyph 
National Monument Establishment Act of 1990, 104 Stat. 272, the 
National Park Service, hereinafter called the Service, requires that 
the public be notified of a proposed land exchange between this agency 
and the City of Albuquerque, hereinafter called the city. Both entities 
propose to exchange 0.11 of an acre owned by the Service outside the 
boundary of Petroglyph National Monument for two tracts, totaling 0.11 
of an acre, that the city owns within the Atrisco Unit of the monument. 
The Service tract is located along Unser Boulevard 0.2 of a mile south 
of the Las Imagines Visitor Center within a 100-year flood hazard zone. 
A water drainage structure, operated and maintained by the city, 
currently exists on this tract. The city-owned tracts, consisting of 
0.06 of an acre and 0.05 of an acre, are unimproved and were acquired 
as uneconomic remnants when the right-of-way for Unser Boulevard was 
acquired. Located along Unser Boulevard, these tracts are also situated 
south of the Visitor Center, 0.4 of a mile and 0.6 of a mile, 
respectively.
    With the city responsible for handling the collection of drainage 
water adjacent to Unser Boulevard and the Service responsible for 
managing the lands within the Atrisco Unit of the monument, it is in 
the best interests of both agencies to consummate this exchange.
    Both parties have determined that the lands and interests therein 
to be exchanged are of equal value.

COMMENTS AND FURTHER INFORMATION: The comment period on this proposed 
exchange ends 45 days from the date of this publication. Any comments 
pertaining to this exchange should be sent to the Superintendent, 
Petroglyph National Monument, 6001 Unser Boulevard, NW, Albuquerque, 
New Mexico 87120. Further information on this exchange can be obtained 
at the same address.

    Dated: August 11, 1995.

Field Director, Intermountain Area, National Park Service.
