Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Amendment to the Cascade Resource
Management Plan
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA, 43
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) intends to prepare a
Resource Management Plan (RMP)
amendment to address offering the sale
of public lands within Ada, Canyon,
Payette, and Valley Counties, Idaho not
currently identified for disposal.
DATES: The public scoping period for
the proposal will commence with
publication of this notice. Comments
regarding this proposal must be
submitted in writing to the address
below within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be
addressed to Rosemary Thomas, Four
Rivers Field Manager, Boise District,
Bureau of Land Management, 3948
Development Road, Boise, ID 83705.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information and/or to have your
name added to our mailing list, contact
Effie Schultsmeier, Four Rivers Realty
Specialist, at the Boise District Office,
208–384–3357. Documents pertinent to
this proposal may be examined at the
Boise District Office.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed RMP amendment and land
sales involve approximately 2,056 acres
of public land north of Star in Ada
County, around Pickles Butte and north
of Lake Lowell in Canyon County, east
of Payette in Payette County, and within
the city limits of Cascade in Valley
County. The purpose of a portion of the
sales in Canyon and Payette Counties is
to provide land for purchase by the
respective counties for important public
objectives including expansion of the
landfill at Pickles Butte, further
development at Clay Peak Motorcycle
Park, and various other recreation and
public use opportunities. The other
lands will be evaluated for sale as the
tracts are difficult and uneconomic to
manage as part of the public lands, some
of which will serve to expand
PO 00000
Frm 00095

Sfmt 4703
communities or provide economic
development opportunities. As part of
the RMP amendment, an Environmental
Assessment (EA) will be prepared to
analyze designation of the public land
for disposal and sale of the land.
Approximately 3,175 acres of additional
lands which are currently identified for
disposal in the Cascade RMP will also
be evaluated for disposal via sale.
Comments will be accepted throughout
the RMP amendment and EA process.
Prior to a sale offer, a Notice of Realty
Action will be prepared and published
in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2.
The plan amendment will fulfill the
needs and obligations set forth by the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (FLPMA), and BLM
management policies. Comments,
including names and street addresses of
respondents, will be available for public
review at the Boise District Office
during regular business hours 8 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday,
except holidays, and may be published
as part of the EA. Individual
respondents may request
confidentiality. If you wish to withhold
your name or street address from public
review or from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, you must
state this prominently at the beginning
of your written comment.
Such requests will be honored to the
extent allowed by law. All submissions
from organizations and businesses, and
from individuals identifying themselves
as representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, will be
available for public inspection in their
entirety.
