SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In compliance with the Act of July 2, 1993, Public Law 103-48,
(hereafter referred to as the Act) the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
published in the December 30, 1993 issue of the Federal Register (58 FR
69402), the Initial List of base land parcels that were
[[Page 66984]]
relinquished or were purported to be relinquished, to the United States
pursuant to the Act of June 4, 1897 (as amended), and for which
selection or other rights under that Act or supplemental legislation
were not realized or exercised. The Act further provided that for a
period of 180 days from the date of publication of the Initial List,
any persons asserting an interest in any base land parcel omitted from
the Initial List could request the addition of the omitted parcel to
the Initial List in order to be considered for relief pursuant to the
Act. No such requests were received by the BLM and therefore no
additional parcels are included (on that basis) on the Final List
published in this notice. One parcel (Parcel No. 27) was inadvertently
omitted by the BLM from the Initial List and has now been added to the
List of Nationally Significant Lands. In addition, one parcel (Parcel
No. 16A) which was previously included by the United States Forest
Service as Parcel No. 56 on its Initial List also published under the
Act, has been determined to be outside of current National Forest
boundaries. This parcel is more appropriately included on the BLM
Initial List and has been added to the Final List.
Current Action--Nationally Significant Lands. The Act provides that
the BLM compile a list of Nationally Significant Lands. These are
defined as those lands included on the Initial List which are ``located
wholly or partially within any conservation system unit and all other
listed lands which Congress has designated for specific management or
which the Secretary concerned decides in the concerned Secretary's sole
discretion, should be retained in order to meet public resource
protection, or administrative needs.'' Such Nationally Significant
Lands are not listed on the Final List and are not quitclaimed to the
owner or entryman or his heirs, devisees, successors, and assigns as
are other lands listed on the Final List. The list of Nationally
Significant Lands is described as follows:

Subject to valid existing rights, all right, title, and interest in
the above described Nationally Significant Lands is hereby vested and
confirmed in the United States. The list will be recorded in the
appropriate county land ownership records and the official BLM records
will be noted accordingly.
Anyone claiming that the identification of Nationally Significant
Lands under the Act was a ``taking'' of property will be allowed a one-
year opportunity to file a petition in the United States Claims Court
for monetary compensation. Identification of Nationally Significant
Lands does not of itself entitle any party to compensation. The burden
of proof is on the claimant to prove a compensable claim under the Act.
Current Action--Final List. The Act also provides that on or before
24 months after the date of publication of the Initial List, a Final
List be published consisting of lands included on the Initial List, but
which are not identified on the list of Nationally Significant Lands
described above in this notice. The BLM Final List is described as
follows:
