Both congregations encour­

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.

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
