Published: December 11, 19% Affid______________________ PUBLIC NOTICE The Oregon Trail Library Dis trict Board meeting will t>e at the Boardman Library, Decem ber 18, 19%, at 7:00 p.m. Published: December 11, 19% PUBLIC NOTICE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management [O R -100-6321-01, G -3-119] (Case File #OR-51858) ACTION: NOTICE OF IN TENT, PLAN AMENDMENT, NOTICE OF REALTY AC TION, NOTICE OF EX CHANGE PROPOSAL SUMMARY: In accordance with 43 CFR 1610.2 and 1610.3 and 43 CFR 2200, notice is given that the Bureau of Land Management in the State of Oregon, Vale District, Baker Resource Area, intends to analyze a potential amendment to the Baker R.A. Resource Management Plan (RMP). The potential amendment will in volve adjustm ent of land tenure designations. Currently the Baker RMP designates on ly two land tenure adjustment categ ories. The potential amendment would reclassify those areas with special de signations into a "retention on ly " zone, thus adding an addi tional category. If necessary, the purpose of the plan amend ment would be to make avail able for exchange certain lands located in Baker, Umatilla, Union, and Morrow Counties in Northeastern Oregon and would facilitate exchange pro posals that involve the Prine- ville District BLM, Baker R.A., numerous private property holders, and a third party facilitator. Subject to valid existing rights, most of the public lands refer red to herein have been segre gated from appropriation un der the public land laws and mineral laws for a period of five years, beginning May 24, 1996. A complete list of specific lands segregated will t>e available in the same locations as the other elements of the supporting record, as noted elsewhere in this notice. DATES: A two purpose public comment period is provided at this time. Publication of this Notice in the Federal Register starts the 45 day comment period necessary to meet public notification requirements for both the Notice of Intent to prepare to prepare plan amendments, an EIS and the Notice of Realty Action. ADDRESS: Bureau of Land Management Vale District, Baker R.A. P.O. Box 987 Baker City, OR, 97 Prineville District, Central Oregon Resource Area P.O. Box 550 Prineville, OR 97754 FOR FURTHER INFORMA TION CONTACT: Ron Lane, Central Oregon R.A. Realty Specialist, (541) 416-6752 and Dorothy Mason, Baker R.A., Staff Supervisor, (541) 523-1256. SUPPLEMENTARY INFOR MATION: The Prineville District's Two Rivers (1986) and John Day (1985, 1995) Resource Manage ment Plans and the Vale District's Baker (1989, 1992) Resource Management Plan (RM Ps) currently provide general management guide lines for land tenure adjust ments as well as overall land resource use allocations and resource protection or enhance ment. Although it is anticipated that the final decisions for land exchanges considered through this analysis will be in full con formance with the applicable RMPs, it is possible that por tions of some actions under some alternatives may not be in full conformance with the ap proved plans, as required by 43 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Subpart 1610.5-3, "Con formity and Implementation". The environmental analysis and public and interagency review process anticipated for this analysis are expected to ful ly comply with the Bureau's regulations for land use plan ning, including land use plan amendments, public involve ment and coordination with other Federal agencies, State and local governments and In dian tribes, (43 CFR 1610.2, 1610.3 and 1610.5-5). This will allow' the analysis to consider land tenure strategies which are inconsistent with the cur rent direction or substantially affect other resource uses and allocations in one or more of the subject approved RMPs. Any approved decisions which amend the applicable plans will be incorporated into the plans and become part of the perma nent planning record. Any re finements or clarifications of management direction, priori ty of disposal or use of acquired lands will be incorporated into the applicable plans and documented through publish ed plan maintenance reports, as provided under 43 CFR 1610.5-4. Copies of the three ex isting approved plans ( as amended) will be available in the same locations as the other elements of the supporting record, as noted elsewhere in this notice. The decisions made through this analysis are expected to be implemented through a rela tively complex series of land tenure adjustment actions over a period of several years. Al though the intent is to consum mate the majority of the ex changes within approximately two years of the approval of the decision(s), some residual ac tions or independent land ex changes which are in confor mance with the analysis and decisions and associated ap proved RMPs may occur over a period of ten or more years. In effect, this analysis w ill serve both to facilitate the ongoing project as well as future actions that fall under the program matic nature of this analysis. Future exchanges or other land transfers would be subject to — C ontinued next page ADVERTISEMENT FOR A DAILY JOURNAL OF COMMERCE A request for Proposal has been issued by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for a Forester to develop a timber harvest plan on the Wenaha Wildlife Area.
