Notice of Intent To Prepare a Management Framework Plan 
Amendment/Environmental Assessment (MFP/EA); Alaska

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare an amendment to Southcentral 
Planning Area Management Framework Plan (MFP) to analyze a proposal 
adding lands to those designated in the MFP as ``AREAS IN WHICH 
APPLICATIONS FOR FLPMA LEASES AND SALES WILL BE ACCEPTED.'' The plan 
amendment would be called ``Victory Bible Camp Amendment to the 
Southcentral MFP''.

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

SUMMARY: The Anchorage District Office (ADO), Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM) proposes an amendment to Southcentral Planning Area MFP dated 
March 3, 1983, which would allow ADO to classify approximately 129 
acres as available for sale under the Federal Land Policy Management 
Act (FLPMA).
    Affected lands are described as follows:
    Parcel One: Land now under Airport Lease A-053435, at Victory Bible 
Camp, near Mile 95 of the Glenn Highway, further described as lying 
within:

Seward Meridian, Alaska

T. 20 N., R. 8 E.,
    Secs. 23 and 26.

    Containing approximately 80 acres.

    Parcel Two: Land adjacent to the United Methodist Church, at 
Chugiak, Alaska, further described as:

Seward Meridian, Alaska

T. 15 N., R. 1 W.,
    Lot 53, Section 19.

    Containing 1.42 acres.

    Parcel Three: Land now under Lease AA-55607 for a parking lot 
adjacent to the Pioneer Peak Baptist Church along the old Glenn Highway 
near Bodenburg Butte, at Palmer, Alaska, further described as:

Seward Meridian, Alaska

T. 17 N., R. 2 E.,
    Lot 22, Section 26.

    Containing 0.94 acre.

    Parcel Four: A portion of Lot 2, U.S. Survey 2625, now occupied by 
Jack and Nadine Smith, at Medfra, Alaska, lying within:

Kateel River Meridian, Alaska

T. 27 S., R. 22 E.,
    Sec. 32.

    Containing approximately 45 acres.

    Parcel Five: One (1) acre of land now occupied by John and Natalie 
Stone, described by metes and bounds as follows:

Beginning at the witness point located on line 4-1 of U.S. Survey 
No. 10551, Alaska, in Sec. 32, T. 27 S., R. 22 E., Kateel River 
Meridian, Alaska;
Thence southwesterly approximately 132 feet on line 4-1 to establish 
Corner No. 1, the true point of beginning;
Thence continuing southwesterly along line 4-1 approximately 198 
feet to Corner No. 2;
Thence southeasterly approximately 220 feet to Corner No. 3;
Thence northeasterly 198 feet to Corner No. 4;
Thence northwesterly 220 feet to Corner No. 1, and the true point of 
beginning.

    The intent of this description is to encompass the applicant's 
improvements and not encumber more than one (1) acre.
    Parcel Six: A parcel of land in the vicinity of Clam Gulch, 
described by metes and bounds as follows:

Beginning at \1/4\ corner (GLO Monument) of Sections 21 and 22, T. 2 
N., R. 12 W., Seward Meridian, Alaska, Corner No. 1 the true point 
of beginning;
Thence westerly approximately 659.70 feet to Corner No. 2;
Thence northerly approximately 66 feet to Corner No. 3;
Thence easterly approximately 659.70 feet to Corner No. 4;
Thence southerly approximately 66 feet to Corner No. 1, and the true 
point of beginning; containing approximately 1 acre.

    The issue to be addressed in the Amendment/EA is: should these 
lands be classified for disposal and offered for direct sale to 
proponents.
    The Southcentral Planning Area MFP has been reviewed and found to 
be inadequate to support disposal of the affected parcels, even though 
it did recommend opening other lands in the southcentral area to 
various types of settlement entry and sale.

DATES: Interested parties may submit comments regarding this plan 
amendment until November 30, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to District Manager, Anchorage 
District
