Statutory Amendments Regarding

Appraisal Standards and Procedures

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: As required by the

Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001

for the Department of the Interior and

Related Agencies, the Forest Service

gives notice of the statutory

amendments made to the Columbia

River Gorge National Scenic Area of

November 17, 1986.

Among other things, the Act

authorized the Forest Service to acquire

lands within the designated boundaries

of the Columbia River Gorge National

Scenic Area. To facilitate those

acquisitions, Congress has recently

amended the Act as part of the Fiscal

Year 2001 appropriations act for the

Forest Service (Public Law 106–291).

These amendments provide special

direction for the valuation of some lands

being acquired by the Forest Service

within Special Management Areas of the

Scenic area. Generally, persons owning

land within a Special Management Area

as of September 1, 2000, who offer to

sell their land to the federal government

prior to April 1, 2001, will have their

land appraised without regard to the

effect of certain zoning and land use

restrictions enacted pursuant to the

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic

Area Act. After April 1, 2001, land will

be appraised considering all zoning and

land use restrictions. In addition to the

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register, notice of these amendments is

also being given via publication in

newspapers of general circulation in the

area and by direct mail to known

landowners in the area.
