appropriate environm ental
analyses, public and interagen
cy reviews and would be re
ported in the applicable District
or Resource Area periodic plan
ning update reports which are
distributed to known interested
parties.
The Baker R. A. RMP proposed
plan amendment and exchange
proposal include public lands
administered by the Baker R.A.
located within the following
areas.
Willamette Meridian, Baker,
Morrow, Union and Umatilla
Counties:
T.1N. through 6N., R.23.E.
through 41E.,
T .1 S . through 6 S .,R .2 3 E .
through 42E.,
T .7S . through 14S.,R .36E .
through 48E.
C ontainin g approxim ately
45.000 acres of public land.
Public lands considered for
disposal in the Central Oregon
R.A., Prineville, are located
within the following areas:
Willamette Meridian, Grant
and Wheeler Counties:
T .7S . through 18S.,R .26E .
through 35E.
T .7 S . through 9 S .,R .2 1 E .
through 25E.
C ontainin g approxim ately
50.000 acres of public land.
Contingent upon approval of
the amended RMP, or an ap
proved conformance deter
mination with the existing ap
proved Baker RMP, the above
described land within the Baker
R.A. will be suitable for dis
posal by exchange under sec
tion 206 of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of
1976 (FLPMA), 43 U.S.C. 1716.
Disposal of the public lands
considered for exchange within
the Central Oregon R.A. are in
conformance with current Land
Use Plans. These parcels are
generally considered to be iso
lated and inefficient to manage.
The total acreage considered for
disposal in both the Baker and
Central Oregon Resource Areas
totals approximately 95,000
acres.
The Baker and Central Oregon
Resource Areas have received
exchange proposals from Clear
water Land Exchange for pro
perty from Pioneer Resources,
the JV Ranch and other private
entities, potentially affecting
the public lands noted above.
Some lands offered by these
private landholders for this ex
change are located along the
North Fork of the John Day
River which straddles the
Grant, Morrow, and Umatilla
county lines. They adjoin a se
cond piece of land that is
located west of the North Fork
and includes Ditch and Cabin
Creeks to the east, Wall Creek
on the west and are adjacent to
Forest Service administered
lands to the north. Other lands
considered for acquisition are
located on and in the vicinity of
Rudio Mountain in Grant
County and along the South
Fork of the John Day River. The
Baker R.A. has designated the
following "target” acquisition
areas within which it would
seek to acquire private lands
from willing land owners: the
west side of the Snake River
from Homestead to Hunting-
ton (including the Lookout
Mountain area), the Pedro
Mountain area, the Dooley
Mountain/Bumt River Canyon
area and along the Powder
River downstream from Thief
Valley Reservoir. Additionally,
any opportunity to acquire
lands within or adjacent to land
tenure retention zone 1 as iden
tified in the land use plans, will
also be considered for acquisi
tion in both districts.
The parcels identified for ac
quisition through the exchange
process are considered to con
tain high public values includ
ing significant forest resources,
anadromous fish and wildlife
habitat, substantial recreational
opportunités and miles of
riparian habitat. They would
block up and consolidate public
lands managed by the BLM,
adjacent to the National Forest.
Other lands offered for acquisi
tion will be considered on the
basis of the following values:
key anadromous or other
fisheries habitat, important
wildlife habitats, wetland and
riparian values, significant*
cultural/historic sites eligible for
National Register of Historic
places, T&E/sensitive species
habitat, Unique/outstanding
recreational values, provide
legal public access, within or
adjacent to special designated
areas (ACEC, W&S Rivers),
manageability and cost of ad
ministration, substantially im
proves manageability of ex
isting BLM or other public land,
opportunities for partnerships
in management and acquisi
tion, unique lands with ecolo-
gic, geologic, scientific or scenic
values and significance in
stabilizing business, social and
economic conditions and/or
lifestyles. Issues raised at initial
scoping that will be addressed
in the analysis include, but are
not limited to; multiple adja
cent landowners desiring ac
quisition of BLM disposal
tract(s), adjacent landowner(s)
does not wish to acquire BLM
disposal tract(s), appraisal
issues, tribal values/historic use
areas, county land base, water
rights and agricultural lands,
outright sale of public lands,
resource management of ac
quired tracts, resource manage
ment on tracts considered for
disposal, late successional
forest stands/habitat, access
and wildlife habitat.
Parcels will be screened by an
interdisciplinary (ID) team
through the environmental im
pact statement (EIS) process.
Public parcels will be inven
toried for sensitive values in
cluding special status wildlife
and plants, and cultural re
sources. Disciplines to be re
presented on the ID team pre
paring the plan amendment
and EIS include, but are limited
to: archaeology, anthropology,
economics, lands and minerals,
recreation, forestry, fisheries,
hydrology, botanical, soils,
wildlife, geology and hazar
dous materials.
The value of lands proposed for
exchange have not yet been
determined. Upon completion
of final appraisal, acreage
would be adjusted and/or
money would be used to
equalize the values. Lands will
be exchanged on a value for
value basis, based on current
fair market value appraisals.
Public lands would be tranfer-
red subject to: (1) A reservation
to the United States of a right-
of-way for ditches canals con
structed by the authority of the
United States. Act of August
30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945); and (2)
all valid existing easements,
leases, permits, licenses, right-
of-way or other rights, and
other terms and conditions that
may be identified in the EIS.
The BLM is inviting comments
to be considered in the prepara
tion of the EIS for the propos
ed exchange. Comments may
be addressed to Dick Cosgriffe,
Central Oregon Resource Area
Manager, at the Prineville Dis
trict Office and Gloria Brown,
Baker Resource Area Manager
in Baker City. Com m ents
should be postmarked by (45
days after date of publication in
Fed Reg).
Public meetings have been held
in John Day, Heppner, Pendle
ton, LaGrande and Baker City
regarding this proposal. Public
open houses will be held in
H epp ner, P end leton, La
Grande and Baker City. The
need for additional meetings
will be evaluated based on the
level of public input as a result
of public notification proce
dures. Any public meetings
will be announced at least 15
days in advance.
Detailed information concern
ing the proposed exchange and
plan amendment, including the
EIS, will be available at a later
date at BLM offices in Prine
ville, Baker City, John Day and
Portland. In Heppner this in
formation will be available in
the public library. When the
EIS is completed in the early
spring of 1997, another com
ment period will be provided to
allow for additional public in
put to the exchange and
associated plan amendment.
This comment period will be
announced in a Federal Regis
ter notice and local media. Any
final decision will also be
published to these same stan
dards and applicable appeal or
protest period(s) provided.
Pursuant to 7 CFR, Part 1, Sub
part B, Section 1.27, all written
submissions in response to this
notice shall be made available
for public inspection including
the submitter's name, unless
the submitter specifically re
