Notice of Realty Action: Plan

Amendment for the Exchange of Public

and Private Lands in Fergus County,

Montana

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Designation of public lands in

Fergus County, Montana, for transfer out

of Federal ownership in exchange for

lands owned by CR Kendall. The Bureau

of Land Management (BLM) is also

providing notice of a plan amendment

to the Judith-Valley-Phillips Resource

Management Plan for the public lands.

SUMMARY: The public will gain private

lands with wildlife habitat and

recreation potential in addition to

public access to the North Moccasin

Mountains. Disposal of public lands

with relatively low public values will

help meet the management goals for the

area where the public will gain private

land with high resource values and

public access. Therefore, this exchange

is in the public interest. The Bureau of

Land Management has advised State

and local officials regarding the

proposed exchange.

The following described public lands

are suitable for disposal by exchange

under Section 206 of the Federal Land

Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C.

1716.

Principal Meridian Montana

T. 18 N., R. 18 E.,

Section 29, Lots 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 13, 14;

Section 31, Lots 8, 9, 16, 18, 19, 23, 25;

Section 32, Lots 2, 3, 4;

Containing 150.51 acres

The United States will exchange this

public land to acquire the following

described private land:

Principal Meridian Montana

T. 18 N., R. 17 & 18 E.,

MS 6366—Abbey Lode

MS 6727—Extension Lode

MS 6728—Keno Lode

MS 8470—Arizona Lode

MS 8471—Fox Lode

MS 8472—Mason Lode

MS 8473—Placer Lode

MS 8474—Legal Tender Lode

Containing 129.24 acres

DATES: The effective date of this plan

amendment decision and proposed

exchange notice is March 23, 1995.

Any person who participated in the

Judith-Valley-Phillips Resource

Management Plan Amendment for the

CR Kendall exchange having an interest

or adversely affected by the amendment

may protest such amendment as stated

in 43 CFR 1610.5–2. The protest shall be

in writing and filed on or before April

24, 1995. Send protests to: Director

(480), Bureau of Land Management,

From March 23, 1995 through May 8,

1995, interested parties may submit

written comments to Chuck Otto,

Resource Area Manager, Bureau of Land

Management, Box 1160, Lewistown MT,

59457. Any adverse comments will be

Department of the Interior.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Information related to the Exchange,

including the Plan Amendment and

Environmental Assessment, is available

for review at the Lewistown District

Office, P. O. Box 1160, Lewistown MT

59457.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

publication of this notice segregates the

public lands described above from

settlement, sale, location and entry

under the public land laws, including

the mining laws, but not from exchange

pursuant to Section 206 of the Federal

Land Policy and Management Act of

1976 for a period of two years from the

date of first publication. The exchange

will be made subject to:

1. A reservation to the United States

of a right-of-way for ditches or canals in

accordance with 43 U.S.C. 945.

2. A 60 foot wide right-of-way

reservation, 30 feet on either side of the

centerline, to the United States on a

road, approximately one-half mile in

length, crossing those Federal lands to

be conveyed to CR Kendall, specifically

Lots 1 and 5, section 29, T18N R18E,

and a 60 foot wide permanent, exclusive

easement, 30 feet on either side of the

centerline, from CR Kendall to the

United States on that same road, which

crosses sections 29, 31 and 32, T18N

R18E.

3. The exchange must meet the

requirements of 43 CFR 4110.4–2(b).

This exchange is consistent with

Bureau of Land Management policies
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 56 / Thursday, March 23, 1995 / Notices 15299

and planning and has been discussed

with State and local officials. The

estimated intended time of the exchange

is March 1995. The public interest will

be served by completion of this

exchange since it will enable the Bureau

of Land Management to acquire lands

with high public values, public access,

and will increase management

efficiency of public lands in the area.

Availability Notice; Royal Gorge

Resource Area Proposed Resource

Management Plan and Final

Environmental Impact Statement;

Colorado

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the

Royal Gorge Proposed Resource

Management Plan and Final

Environmental Impact Statement. This

document is now available to the public

for a 30 day protest period.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management, Canon City District, Royal

Gorge Resource Area office has prepared

a proposed resource management plan

(PRMP) and final environmental impact

statement (FEIS) for the Royal Gorge

Resource Area (RGRA) in accordance

with the Federal Land Policy and

Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) and

43 CFR part 1600. A draft resource

management plan (DRMP) and

environmental impact statement (DEIS)

for the RGRA was made available to the

public in September of 1993 for a 90 day

review and comment period Substantial

public comment was received through

three public hearings and 180+ written

letters. More than nine hundred specific

comments were received with the

largest concern related to and

disagreeing with the recommendation

not to designate the 126 miles of the

Upper Arkansas River and the 20 miles

of Beaver Creek as Wild & Scenic River.

These comments have been responded

to within the PRMP/FEIS. This final

plan replaces and supersedes all

existing land use plans and other related

environmental documents. This final

plan establishes ten ecological

subregions upon which all the decisions

within the plan are focused. This final

plan establishes resource conditions for,

provides for managing and allocating of

BLM administered land and mineral

resources in the RGRA for the next 15

to 20 years. Located in eastern Colorado,

the RGRA encompasses 653,000 acres of

Federal surface estate and 2,566,000

acres of Federal subsurface mineral

estate within Baca, Brent, Chaffee,

Crowley, Custer, El Paso, Fremont,

Huerfano, Kiowa, Lake, Las Animas,

Otero, Park, Prowers, Pueblo, and Teller

counties.

Only those parties who made

substantial comments to BLM on the

RGRA/DEIS during the 90 day review

and comment period would be

considered to have standing for protest

of the decisions within this plan.

DATES: The PRMP/FEIS protest period

will begin on March 27, 1995, and will

run through close of business on April

26, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may

obtain a copy of the PRMP/FEIS from

the Bureau of Land Management, Royal

Gorge Resource Area, 3170 East Main

Street, Canon City, CO 81212.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Dave Taliaferro, RMP Project Manager,

at (719) 539–7560 or Paul Trentzsch,

Royal Gorge Area Manager, at (719)

275–0631.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Some of

the highlights of the PRMP/FEIS are:

1. The plan focuses on the principles

of multiple use and sustained yield as

mandated by section 202 of FLPMA.

The plan directs future resource

condition objectives, land use

allocations, and management actions.

2. The plan designates nine areas of

critical environmental concern (ACEC’s)

these being a. Mosquito Pass (4,036

acres), b. Browns Canyon (11,697 acres),

c. Droney Gulch (705 acres), d. Arkansas

Canyonlands (23,921 acres), e. Grape

Creek (15,978 acres), f. Garden Park

(2,728 acres), g. Phantom Canyon (6,096

acres), h. Beaver Creek (12,081 acres),

and i. Cucharas Canyon (1,314 acres).

3. The plan serves as the final

environmental impact statement

required for the Wild and Scenic River

Act. Twenty miles of Beaver Creek and

126 miles of the Arkansas River were

analyzed and found to be eligible and

suitable for potential designation under

the Wild and Scenic River Act. BLM

management directs within the final

plan and all 146 stream miles not be

recommended to Congress as a potential

addition to the National Wild and

Scenic River System. These streams

would be managed under a protective

interim management prescription for a

period of three years after the Approved

Resource Management Plan (ARMP)/

Record of Decision (ROD) is signed.

4. The plan did carry out an analysis

and does recommend that 197,000 acres

in the Arkansas River Corridor be

recommended to Congress to be

designated as a National Recreation

Area. This would include the segments

of the Arkansas River that were

determined to be eligible and suitable

for Wild and Scenic River designation.

Upon the closing of the protest period

the ARMP/ROD will be prepared and

would be tentatively scheduled to be

completed by September of 1995.
