SUMMARY: Pursuant to the authority contained in the Act of July 1, 
2003, (Pub. L. 108-43, 117 Stat. 841), the Secretary of the Interior 
has been authorized to acquire certain lands by exchange and is 
authorized, upon completion of said exchange, to revise the boundaries 
of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area accordingly.

DATES: The effective date for this notice shall be the date of the 
Federal Register publication in which this notice appears.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Realty Officer, Land Resources Program 
Center, Intermountain Region, P.O. Box 728, Santa Fe, New Mexico,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The above-cited Act authorizes the Secretary 
of the Interior to exchange certain privately owned lands adjacent to 
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area for federally owned lands within 
the recreation area boundary. Upon completion of this exchange, the 
boundaries of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area will be revised to 
add the parcel now adjacent to the recreation area and to exclude the 
parcel now inside the recreation area. Land added to the recreation 
area shall be administered as part of the park in accordance with the 
laws and regulations applicable thereto. The lands to be exchanged are 
generally described as follows:

Federally Owned Parcel

    Tract No. 06-128, a parcel of land in Section 5, Township 44 South, 
Range 3 East, Salt Lake Base and Meridian, containing 312.50 acres, 
more or less.

South, Range 3 East, Salt Lake Base and Meridian, containing 122.93 
acres, more or less.
    The value of the properties exchanged shall be determined by a 
current fair market value appraisal. If they are not approximately 
equal, the following applies: In the event the federally owned property 
is higher in value than the privately owned property, the values shall 
be equalized by cash payment in order to complete the exchange. If the 
privately owned property is higher in value than the federally owned 
property, no cash payment to equalize values shall be made.
    For a period of 45 calendar days from the date of this notice, 
interested parties may submit comments to the above address. Adverse 
comments will be evaluated, and this action may be modified or vacated 
accordingly. In the absence of any action to modify or vacate, this 
realty action will become the final determination of the Department of 
the Interior.
