acquisition. Under the provisions of
FLTFA, only the following lands are
eligible for nomination: (1) Inholdings
within a Federally designated area; or
(2) lands that are adjacent to Federally
designated areas that contain
exceptional resources.
An inholding is any right, title, or
interest held by a non-Federal entity, in
or to a tract of land that lies within the
boundary of a Federally designated area.
A Federally designated area is an area,
in existence on July 25, 2000, set aside
for special management, including units
of the national park, national wildlife
refuge, and national forest systems;
national monuments, national
conservation areas, national riparian
conservation areas, national recreation
areas, national scenic areas, research
natural areas, national outstanding
natural areas, national natural
landmarks, and areas of critical
environmental concern managed by the
Bureau of Land Management;
wilderness or wilderness study areas;
and units of the Wild and Scenic Rivers
System or National Trails System. If you
are not sure of whether a particular area
meets the statutory definition in FLTFA,
of a Federally designated area, you
should consult the statute or contact the
BLM as provided above.
Exceptional resource refers to a
resource of scientific, natural, historic,
cultural or recreational value that has
been documented by a Federal, state, or
local government authority, and for
which there is a compelling need for
conservation and protection under the
jurisdiction of a Federal agency in order
to maintain the resource for the benefit
of the public.
Nominations meeting the above
criteria may be submitted by any
individual, group or governmental body.
If submitted by a party other than the
landowner, the landowner must also
sign the nomination to confirm their
willingness to sell. Nominations will
only be considered eligible by the
agencies if: (1) The nomination package
is complete; (2) acquisition of the
nominated land or interest in land
would be consistent with an agency
approved land use plan; (3) the land
does not contain a hazardous substance
or is not otherwise contaminated and
would not be difficult or uneconomic to
manage as Federal lands; and (4)
acceptable title can be conveyed in
accordance with Federal title standards.
Priority will be placed on nominations
for inholdings in areas where there is no
local or tribal government objection to
Federal acquisition.
The agencies will assess the
nominations for public benefits and
rank the nominations in accordance

with a jointly prepared state level
Interagency Implementation Agreement
for FLTFA and a national level
Interagency Memorandum of
Understanding among the agencies. The
nomination and identification of an
inholding does not obligate the
landowner to convey the property nor
does it obligate the United States to
acquire the property.
All Federal land acquisitions must be
made at fair market value established by
applicable provisions of the Uniform
Appraisal Standards for Federal Land
Acquisitions.

required contents for a nomination
package, and details of the Statewide
Interagency Implementation Agreement,
