-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: It is proposed to classify 190 acres of land for lease and/or 
conveyance to the Georgetown Divide Recreation District (GDRD) under 
the Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, such land to be added by 
amendment to an existing R&PP Act lease of 35 acres, CACA 27456-01. As 
explained below, it is further proposed to change the use of the 
existing lease from a local park to a regional recreational facility.

DATES: The land will be segregated from all other forms of 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining 
laws and leasing under the mineral leasing laws, except for leasing or 
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act on February 10, 
2004.

ADDRESSES: For a period until March 26, 2004, interested persons may 
submit comments regarding the proposed classification, leasing or 
conveyance of the land to the Field Manager, Folsom Field Office Bureau 
of Land Management, 63 Natoma Street, Folsom, California.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You may contact Karen Montgomery at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GDRD proposes an amendment to R&PP Lease 
CACA 27456-01 to add 190 acres to an existing lease of 35 acres and to 
change the use of the lease from a local park to a regional 
recreational facility with playing fields, a skate park, a disc golf 
course, a swimming pool, a recreation center/gymnasium, and an 
equestrian staging area. The following public land, located in El 
Dorado County, near the community of Greenwood has been examined and 
found suitable for lease and/or conveyance for recreational or public 
purposes under the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes 
Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.).

T. 12 N., R. 10 E., M.D.M.,
    Sec. 6, lots 8 and 13;
    Sec. 7, lots 1, 11, 20, 23, 25, 26, 31, 33, and portions of lots 
28, 32, and MS 6418.

    Containing 225 acres, more or less.
    The land is not required for any federal purpose. The lease and/or 
conveyance is consistent with current Bureau planning for this area and 
would be in the public interest. The lease and/or patent, when issued, 
will be subject to the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes 
Act and applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior and 
will contain the following reservations to the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States.
    3. Any other valid and existing rights of record not yet 
identified.

Classification Comments

    Interested parties may submit comments involving the suitability of 
the land for a regional park facility. Comments on the classification 
are restricted to whether the land is physically suited for the 
proposal, whether the use will maximize the future use or uses of the 
land, whether the use is consistent with local planning and zoning, or 
if the use is consistent with State and Federal programs.

Application Comments

    Interested parties may submit comments regarding the specific use 
proposed in the application, whether the BLM followed proper 
administrative procedures in reaching the decision, or any other factor 
not directly related to the suitability of the land for a regional 
park.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become 
effective April 12, 2004. A plan of development for the regional park 
is on file in the Folsom Field Office.
