1976 (U.S.C. 1716), as amended:

Gila and Salt River Meridian, Arizona

The area described contains 4,322.40 acres.

In exchange the United States will

acquire the following described land

from Tucson Mountain Investors, L.L.C.:

Gila and Salt River Meridian, Arizona

T. 13 S., R. 12 E.,

Sec. 10, part of;

Sec. 11, part of.

The area described contains 632.78 acres

more or less.

Approval of the exchange is to

implement the Phoenix Resource

Management Plan Decision which

identified the selected federal lands for

disposal and on development

information submitted by Noranda

Properties, Inc. Acquisition of the

private lands was authorized by Public

Law 103–364, signed into law in

October 1994, which added 3,460 acres

to the park and changed the name from

Saguaro National Monument to Saguaro

National Park. Resource values of the

private lands enhance the resource

management within the Saquaro

National Park. The offered lands contain

representative Sonoran Desert

vegetation in excellent condition. The

diversity of vegetation, representing the

paloverde/saguaro/mixed cactus and

ironwood associations, provides

important habitat for some of the

sensitive wildlife species which occur

in the Arizona Upland vegetation type.

Also as part of the Saguaro National

Park, the area will be accessible to

hikers, horseback riders, birdwatchers,

botanists and students of natural

history. The public interest will be

served by making the exchange.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may

submit comments and/or protests

concerning the Proposed Decision for

the exchange to the Bureau of Land

Management, Phoenix Field Office 2015

West Deer Valley Road, Phoenix,

Arizona 85027. Comments must be in

writing to the Field Office Manager and

be postmarked within 45 days from the

publication of this notice.

Dated: October 17, 1997.

Field Manager.
