SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with FLTFA, the four 

Federal agencies noted above are 

offering to the public an opportunity to 

nominate lands in the State of Utah for 

possible Federal acquisition. Under the 

provisions of FLTFA, only the following 

non-Federal lands are eligible for 

nomination: (1) Inholdings within a 

federally designated area; or (2) Lands 

or interests in lands adjacent to 

federally designated areas that contain 

exceptional resources. The term 

inholdings in lands means any right, 

title, or interest held by a non-Federal 

entity, in a tract of land that lies within 

the boundary of a federally designated 

area. A federally designated area is an 

area set aside for special management 

on or before July 25, 2000, including 

national parks, national wildlife refuges, 

national forests, national monuments, 

national conservation areas, national 

riparian conservation areas, national 

recreation areas, national scenic areas, 

areas of critical environmental concern, 

national outstanding natural areas, 

national natural landmarks, research 

natural areas, wilderness or wilderness 

study areas, and units of the Wild and 

Scenic Rivers System or National Trails 

System. The term exceptional resource 

refers to a resource of scientific, natural, 

historic, cultural or recreational value 

that has been documented by a Federal, 

state, or local government authority, and 

for which there is a compelling need for 

conservation and protection under the 

jurisdiction of a Federal agency in order 

to maintain the resource for the benefit 

of the public. Nominations meeting the 

above criteria may be submitted by any 

individual, group or governmental body. 

If submitted by a party other than the 

landowner, the nomination must be 

accompanied with a written 

confirmation from the landowner of 

their desire to sell. Nominations will 

only be considered eligible by the 

agencies if: (1) The nomination package 

is complete; (2) a Federal land use plan 

calls for acquisition of the land or 

interest in land being nominated; (3) the 

land does not contain a hazardous 

substance or is not otherwise 

contaminated; (4) the land would not be 

difficult or uneconomic to manage as 

Federal land; and (5) acceptable title can 

be conveyed in accordance with Federal 

title standards. The agencies will assess 

the nominations for public benefits in 

accordance with a jointly prepared State 

level Interagency Implementation 

Agreement for FLTFA and a National 

level Interagency Memorandum of 

Understanding among the agencies and 

will rank the nominations. The 

nomination and identification of an 

inholding does not obligate the 

landowner to convey the property nor 

does it obligate the United States to 

acquire the property. All Federal land 

acquisitions must be at fair market value 

consistent with applicable provisions of 

the Uniform Appraisal Standards for 

Federal Land Acquisitions. 

Further information, including the 

required contents for a nomination 

package, and details of the Statewide 

Interagency Implementation Agreement, 

may be obtained by contacting Joy 

Wehking at the address noted above. 

Authority: Sec. 204, Pub. L. 106–248 (43 

U.S.C. 2301).

State Director, Utah.
