Upper Snake Field Office (USFO)
proposes to amend the Medicine Lodge
Resource Management Plan (RMP) to
identify a 1.25 acre parcel of public land
for disposal in Bonneville County,

to patent the parcel to Dale E.

States.
Comments regarding the
proposed plan amendment must be
received by April 10, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should

proposed plan amendment may be
obtained by contacting Deena Teel,
NEPA Coordinator, or Skip Staffel,
Realty Specialist, at the above address
or by calling (208) 524–7500.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
following described public land in
Bonneville County, Idaho, will be
examined for possible disposal by direct
sale under sections 203 and 209 of the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1713 and 1719.

of 270 days.
An environmental assessment will be
completed for this action. If the land is
found suitable for disposal, the United
States would offer it for direct sale to
Dale E. McDowell, Louise J.
Prudhomme, and George McDowell at
fair market value, with a conservation
easement retained by the BLM. The
public is invited to provide scoping
comments on the issues that should be
addressed in the preparation of the plan
