Notice of Realty Action; Amending a Non-competitive Section 302 
Surface Occupancy Lease, Alaska

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Notice of Realty Action involves amending a joint Section 
302 Surface Occupancy Lease, to the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association 
and Department of Commerce and Economic Development, State of Alaska, 
for the Eklutna Salmon Hatchery, on public lands administered by the 
Bureau of Land Management in Alaska. Amending this lease is intended to 
authorize the construction, operation and maintenance of a wellfield 
and pipeline to supply the Eklutna Salmon Hatchery with disease-free 
water. The lease is located between the old Glenn Highway to Palmer and 
the tailrace for the Eklutna Power Plant.
    The land has been examined and found suitable for leasing under the 
provisions of Section 302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
(FLPMA), of 1976, and 43 CFR Part 2920.

Seward Meridian, Alaska

T. 16 N., R. 2 E.,
    Section 18 metes and bounds,

    Containing 3.172 acres, more or less.

    The reappraised rental for the entire lease is $1500.00 per year. 
In addition, the lessee shall reimburse the United States for 
reasonable administrative and other costs incurred by the United States 
in processing the lease and for monitoring construction, operation, 
maintenance and rehabilitation of the facilities authorized. The 
reimbursement of cost shall be in accordance with the provisions of 43 
CFR 2920.6.
    This action is a motion by the Bureau of Land Management to make 
available lands identified in EA No. AK-040-96-019, as not needed for 
Federal purposes. Amending the Sec. 302 Surface Occupancy Lease would 
be in the public interest. Detailed information concerning this action 
is available for review at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, 
Anchorage District, 6881 Abbott Loop Road, Anchorage, Alaska.
    Lease of the lands would be subject to the same terms, conditions 
and reservations found in the original Surface Occupancy Lease issued 
jointly to Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association and Department of 
Commerce and Economic Development, State of Alaska, on July 22, 1982 
for 30 years, expiring in the year 2012.
