County, Idaho.
DATES: The public, state, and local governments, and other Federal
agencies are invited to participate in the amendment process.
Identification of issues, concerns, or other written comments
pertaining to this notice will be accepted until July 21, 1997.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed plan amendment would allow the
transfer into private ownership, of the following described public
land:

T. 12 S., R. 20 E.
Sec. 14: N\1/2\ SW\1/4\, SE\1/4\ SW\1/4\;
Sec. 15: W\1/2\ NE\1/4\, NE\1/4\ SE\1/4\;
Sec. 23: E\1/2\ NW\1/4\, E\1/2\ SW\1/4\;

Sec. 25: N\1/2\ NW\1/4\, SW\1/4\ NW\1/4\;
Sec. 26: NE\1/4\, NE\1/4\ NW\1/4\.
Comprising 834 acres of public land, more or less.
Parts of these lands have been subject to unauthorized uses by the
adjoining private land owner for many years. These uses consist of
farming, feeding livestock, calving, water pipelines, water storage
facilities and access roads. Settlement for the unauthorized uses has
been made with the involved individual and the uses have been
authorized by land use permits and rights-of-way granted by the Bureau
of Land Management.
The subject public land parcel is proposed for disposal through an
exchange with the adjoining landowner. In return for the subject
parcel, the United States would receive private lands of equal
appraised value (or within 25% of the value of the public land, in
accordance with the Federal Land Exchange Facilitation Act, with any
difference to be made up in cash). The private lands have high public
values and their acquisition is consistent with the Cassia Resource
Management Plan.
Public participation in the amendment process will include
publication of this notice in the Federal Register and local newspapers
and the sending of this notice to state and local governments, private
individuals, and other interested parties.
Depending on the amount of public interest, public meetings may be
held in the Snake River Resource Area office, Burley, Idaho.
