SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and 

section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney 

Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 

11411), as amended, HUD is publishing 

this Notice to identify Federal buildings 

and other real property that HUD has 

reviewed for suitability for use to assist 

the homeless. The properties were 

reviewed using information provided to 

HUD by Federal landholding agencies 

regarding unutilized and underutilized 

buildings and real property controlled 

by such agencies or by GSA regarding 

its inventory of excess or surplus 

Federal property. This Notice is also 

published in order to comply with the 

December 12, 1988 Court Order in 

National Coalition for the Homeless v. 

Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503– 

OG (D.D.C.). 

Properties reviewed are listed in this 

Notice according to the following 

categories: Suitable/available, suitable/ 

unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and 

unsuitable. The properties listed in the 

three suitable categories have been 

reviewed by the landholding agencies, 

and each agency has transmitted to 

HUD: (1) Its intention to make the 

property available for use to assist the 

homeless, (2) its intention to declare the 

property excess to the agency’s needs, or 

(3) a statement of the reasons that the 

property cannot be declared excess or 

made available for use as facilities to 

assist the homeless. 

Properties listed as suitable/available 

will be available exclusively for 

homeless use for a period of 60 days 

from the date of this Notice. Where 

property is described as for ‘‘off-site use 

only’’ recipients of the property will be 

required to relocate the building to their 

own site at their own expense. 

Homeless assistance providers 

interested in any such property should 

send a written expression of interest to 

HHS, addressed to Theresa Ritta, 

Division of Property Management, 

Program Support Center, HHS, room 

5B–17, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, 

MD 20857; (301) 443–2265. (This is not 

a toll-free number.) HHS will mail to the 

interested provider an application 

packet, which will include instructions 

for completing the application. In order 

to maximize the opportunity to utilize a 

suitable property, providers should 

submit their written expressions of 

interest as soon as possible. For 

complete details concerning the 

processing of applications, the reader is 

encouraged to refer to the interim rule 

governing this program, 24 CFR part 

581. 

For properties listed as suitable/to be 

excess, that property may, if 

subsequently accepted as excess by 

GSA, be made available for use by the 

homeless in accordance with applicable 

law, subject to screening for other 

Federal use. At the appropriate time, 

HUD will publish the property in a 

Notice showing it as either suitable/ 

available or suitable/unavailable. 

For properties listed as suitable/ 

unavailable, the landholding agency has 

decided that the property cannot be 

declared excess or made available for 

use to assist the homeless, and the 

property will not be available. 

Properties listed as unsuitable will 

not be made available for any other 

purpose for 20 days from the date of this 

Notice. Homeless assistance providers 

interested in a review by HUD of the 

determination of unsuitability should 

call the toll free information line at 1– 

800–927–7588 for detailed instructions 

or write a letter to Mark Johnston at the 

address listed at the beginning of this 

Notice. Included in the request for 

review should be the property address 

(including Zip code), the date of 

publication in the Federal Register, the 

landholding agency, and the property 

number.

particular properties identified in this

Notice of Intent To Revise Resource 

Management Plans and an Associated 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Six Western Oregon Districts of the 

Bureau of Land Management 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended, and the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act of 1976, as 

amended, the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) Oregon State Office, 

Portland, Oregon, intends to revise six 

Resource Management Plans (RMPs) 

with a single associated Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the Western 

Oregon Planning Area and by this notice 

is announcing the beginning of the 

scoping process to solicit public 

comments and identify issues. The 

Western Oregon Planning Area consists 

of the Coos Bay District, Eugene District, 

Medford District, Roseburg District, 

Salem District, and the Klamath Falls 

Resource Area of the Lakeview District. 

Although this document identifies the 

scale of planning as six RMPs with a 

single EIS, public input is being sought 

on whether a different approach to 

scale—such as by district, region, or 

type of forest—should be considered. 

DATES: This notice initiates the public 

scoping process for the RMP and 

associated EIS. Comments on issues 

may be submitted in writing until June 

7, 2012. The BLM has not yet scheduled 

public meetings for this plan revision. 

The date(s) and location(s) of any 

scoping meetings will be announced at 

least 15 days in advance through local 

media, newspapers, and the BLM Web 

site at: http://www.blm.gov/or/plans/. In 

order to be included in the Draft EIS, all 

comments must be received prior to the 

close of the 90-day scoping period or 30 

days after the last public meeting, 

whichever is later. The BLM will 

provide additional opportunities for 

public participation and comment upon 

publication of the Draft EIS. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on issues and planning criteria related 

to the Western Oregon RMPs/EIS by any 

of the following methods: 

• Web site: http://www.blm.gov/or/ 

plans. 

• Email: 

BLM_OR_Forestry_Plan@blm.gov. 

• Fax: 503–808–6333. 

• Mail: P.O. Box 2965, Portland, 

Oregon 97208. 

Documents pertinent to this proposal 

may be examined at the Oregon State 

Office, Public Room, 333 SW. 1st 

Avenue, Portland, OR 97204.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document provides notice that the BLM 

State Office, Portland, Oregon, intends 

to revise six RMPs with an associated 

EIS for the Western Oregon Planning 

Area, announces the beginning of the 

scoping process, and seeks public input 

on issues and planning criteria. The 

purpose of the public scoping process is 

to determine the scope of issues to be 

addressed by the environmental 

analysis, including alternatives, and the 

significant issues related to the planning 

process. The planning area for the RMPs 

includes approximately 2,550,000 acres 

of BLM-administered lands and 69,000 

acres of split-estate, where the BLM 

only manages the Federal mineral 

estate. 

The Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) 

requires the development, maintenance, 

and revision of land use plans. The vast 

majority of the BLM-administered lands 

in the planning area are Revested 

Oregon and California Railroad (O&C) 

lands, or Reconveyed Coos Bay Wagon 

Road (CBWR) lands, and are managed 

under the statutory authority of the 

Oregon and California Revested 

Railroad Lands Act of 1937 (O&C Act, 

Pub. L. 75–405) and FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 

1701 et seq.). Preparation of the RMPs 

and EIS will conform to the above land 

management laws and will also comply 

with other Federal laws, including, but 

not limited to the Endangered Species 

Act (ESA), the Clean Water Act, and the 

National Environmental Policy Act. 

Congress, in 1866, established a land 

grant to promote the completion of the 

Oregon and California Railroad from 

Portland, Oregon, to San Francisco, 

California. In 1916, Congress revested, 

or brought back into Federal ownership, 

the title to approximately 2.2 million 

acres of land deeded to the Oregon and 

California Railroad after the company 

violated the terms of the land grant. 

Congress revested about 93,000 acres of 

Coos Bay Wagon Road lands to the 

United States due to similar 

circumstances in 1919. The O&C Act of 

1937 placed management jurisdiction of 

these lands under the United States 

Department of the Interior. 

In 1994, the Departments of the 

Interior and Agriculture (USDA) 

adopted the Northwest Forest Plan 

(NWFP) to provide coordinated 

management direction for the lands 

administered by the BLM and the 

USDA’s Forest Service and to adopt 

complimentary approaches of other 

Federal agencies within the range of the 

northern spotted owl. The NWFP 

included a coordinated, comprehensive 

ecosystem management strategy, the 

purpose of which was to meet dual 

needs: The need for long-term health of 

forest habitat and the need for a steady 

supply of forest products. 

The six western Oregon BLM districts 

completed RMPs in 1995 that 

incorporated the land use allocations 

and Standards and Guidelines from the 

NWFP. In 2008, the BLM completed 

RMP revisions for the six western 

Oregon districts. Pending litigation 

seeks vacatur of the 2008 RMPs. The 

BLM intends to revise its RMPs 

notwithstanding the pending litigation. 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(FWS) issued a revised recovery plan for 

the northern spotted owl on June 28, 

2011. The plan contains 

recommendations for retaining and 

restoring owl habitat in Federal, State 

and private forestland. The FWS 

anticipates revising its critical habitat 

designation for the northern spotted owl 

and issuing a proposed rule in February 

2012. 

The FWS completed a recovery plan 

for the marbled murrelet in 1997 and 

revised its critical habitat for the 

marbled murrelet in October 2011. On 

August 22, 2011, the National Oceanic 

and Atmospheric Administration 

(NOAA) Fisheries Service adopted a 

final ESA recovery plan for upper
