# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    Nominations are being accepted by the BLM for lands or interests in land that have critical environmental values or the possibility of imminent development which would merit emergency purchase by BLM from willing sellers in the lower Umpqua River basin, generally in the central coast mountain range.

BLM will evaluate the nominations and identify the lands that meet the criteria by March 31, 2001.
