SUMMARY: An Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Davis Land Exchange 
on the Aspen Ranger District of the White River National Forest is 
available for public review and comment.

DATES: Comments must be postmarked by May 3, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Davis Land Exchange Project 
Manager, White River National Forest, Aspen Ranger District, 806 West

Environmental Assessment and questions about this project should be 
addressed to Allan Grimshaw, Aspen Ranger District, 806 West Hallam

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States has entered into a 
settlement agreement which proposes the use of a land exchange to 
settle a title claim against the United States. The exchange would 
result in conveyance of 7.32 acres of Federal land for approximately 61 
acres of non-Federal land. This environmental assessment has been 
prepared to evaluate the effects of such a land exchange. It also 
evaluates the effects of one alternative: Requesting the court release 
the United States from the settlement agreement and allow the 
litigation to continue. Comments will be considered in development of a 
decision.

    Dated: March 17, 2000.
James R. Furnish,
Deputy Chief for National Forest System.
