mineral laws, and mineral leasing laws for a period of one year 
beginning on January 19, 1998.
    In exchange the United States will acquire a tract of Arizona 
Public Service private land having unique natural resources and located 
within the Tanner Wash ACEC (Area of Environmental Concern). The 
offered land is described as follows:

Gila and Salt River Meridian, Arizona

    Interested parties may submit written comments concerning the 
proposed exchange to the Field Office Manager, Stafford Field Office at 
the above Safford address. Comments must be in writing and be 
postmarked within 45 days from the date of publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register.
    It has been determined that the subject public land parcel contains 
no known mineral values; therefore, mineral interests may be conveyed 
simultaneously.
