SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described federally-owned land 
has been determined to be suitable for disposal by exchange. The 
authority for this exchange is section 1302(h) of the Alaska National 
Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) of December 2, 1980, 16 U.S.C. 
3192(h). The federal land which is proposed for disposal is within the 
boundary of the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. It is located 
approximately 2 miles southwesterly of the mouth of Silver Salmon Creek 
and contains approximately 4.55 acres. The land has been surveyed for 
cultural resources and endangered and threatened species. These reports 
are available upon request from the Superintendent, Lake Clark National 
Park and Preserve at the address set forth above. Title to the above 
land will be conveyed in fee simple with covenants and restrictions 
that prohibit for-profit selling of services, industrial uses and 
commercial development. The covenants also limit development and 
occupancy of the parcel and require that future development be visually 
compatible with surrounding park and preserve lands. Conveyance of the 
land by the United States will be done by patent.
    In exchange for the land identified above the United States of 
America will acquire U.S. Survey 8481, Alaska, a 79.98-acre parcel on 
the southern shore of Lake Clark at Sucker Bay, approximately 16.5 
miles southwesterly of the village of Port Alsworth, and approximately 
7.5 miles northwesterly of Nondalton in fee simple with no 
reservations. The value of the properties exchanged shall be determined 
by a current fair market value appraisal. If the appraised value of the 
Sucker Bay parcel is greater than the appraised value of the Silver 
Salmon Creek parcel, the parties will complete the exchange, subject to 
approval of title to the Sucker Bay parcel by the Department of the 
Interior, Regional Solicitor. An environmental assessment of the 
proposed action was completed in January 2007 and a Finding of No 
Significant Impact approved on March 26, 2007.
    For a period of 45 calendar days from the date of this notice, 
interested parties may submit comments to the above address. 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.
    Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.
