rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
1997, projected and analyzed a
Reasonable Foreseeable Development
(RFD) scenario of 1,100 oil and gas
wells, with 10 acres of disturbance per
well (including roads and pipelines),
over a 20-year period (approximately 55
wells per year). The RFD projected that
nearly 2/3 of the oil and gas
development activity (or 800 wells)
would take place south of Rangely,
Colorado with the remaining activity
dispersed throughout the remaining
field office area. While this projection
has been fairly accurate for the activity
south of Rangely, the current and
projected oil and gas activity in the
Piceance Basin may soon far exceed the
RFD/EIS impact analysis.
The oil and gas industry has indicated
that the potential exists to develop over
13,000 oil and gas wells in the Piceance
Basin over the next 20 years. The
current WRFO RMP/EIS does not
adequately address this projected level
of oil and gas development. The BLM
has identified some preliminary
planning criteria to guide the
development of the plan. The following
planning criteria have been proposed to
guide the development of the plan, to
avoid unnecessary data collection and
analyses, and to ensure the plan is
tailored to issues. Other criteria may be
identified during the public scoping
process. Proposed planning criteria
include the following:
• The plan will comply with all
applicable laws, regulations and current
policies.
• Broad-based public participation
will be an integral part of the planning
and EIS process.
• The plan will recognize valid
existing rights.
• Environmental protection and
energy production are both desirable
and necessary objectives of sound land
management practices and are not to be
considered mutually exclusive priorities
The BLM will analyze the proposed
action and no action alternatives, as
well as other possible alternatives that
could include alternative approaches to
mitigation measures and/or conditions
of approval for future oil and gas
development in the planning area.
Alternatives will be further defined as
part of the planning process.

Acting Field Manager.

Potential Purchase by the Federal
Government; Montana

ACTION: Notice.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Notice is provided pursuant
to Section 204 of the Federal Land
Transaction Facilitation Act of 2000 (43
U.S.C. 2303) (FLTFA) of the procedures
for possible acquisition of qualified
properties by the Federal Government.
The notice also provides information on
the procedures for identifying such
properties held by willing sellers and
establishing a priority for the purchase
of such properties.
DATES: June 14, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Nominations should be
mailed to BLM Montana State Office,
Attn: Dee Baxter, 5001 Southgate Drive,
Billings, MT 59101–4669.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dee
Baxter, BLM Montana FLTFA Contact,
at 406–896–5044, or on the internet at
dbaxter@blm.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FLTFA provides for the deposit of
proceeds from land sales or exchanges
into a separate account in the Treasury
of the United States, known as the
Federal Land Disposal Account. From
the amounts deposited, eighty percent

Jkt 208001
(80%) or more of the funds must be
used to acquire inholding property and
lands adjacent to federally designated
areas containing exceptional resources.
The four land managing agencies
participating in the FLTFA land
acquisition program are the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM), the Forest
Service (FS), the National Park Service
(NPS), and the Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS).
The four agencies have signed a
national interagency memorandum of
understanding (MOU) that describes the
process for use of funds from the
Federal Land Disposal Account and the
acquisition of properties under the act.
The Montana FLTFA Implementation
Plan was completed on February 1,
2006.
Section 204 of FLTFA requires
publication of a notice to the public of
agency procedures to identify and
prioritize inholdings to be acquired
under the Act. To that end, the public
is hereby notified of its opportunity to
nominate qualified properties in the
State of Montana for potential purchase
by the Federal Government. The BLM is
the lead agency for the public notice
process regarding the nomination of
properties for potential Federal
acquisition.
Property nominated in response to
this notice must meet the following
criteria:
(1) The property must contain an
exceptional resource, meaning 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; and
( 2) The property must be an
‘‘inholding’’ or immediately adjacent to
a federally designated area. 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 defined
as an area that has been set aside for
special management, such as land
within the boundary of:
(a) A national monument, an area of
critical environmental concern, a
national conservation area, a national
riparian conservation area, a national
recreation area, a national scenic area, a
research natural area, a national
outstanding natural area, or a national
natural landmark managed by BLM; or
(b) A unit of the National Park
System; or
PO 00000
Frm 00091
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(c) A unit of the national Wildlife
Refuge System; or
(d) An area of the National Forest
System designated for special
management by Congress; or
(e) An area that is designated as
wilderness under the Wilderness Act, a
wilderness study area, a component of
the Wild and Scenic Rivers System, or
a component of the National Trails
System.
Any individual, group, or
governmental body may make a
nomination of such lands that would
benefit from public ownership.
Nominations will only be considered if
there is a willing seller, if acquisition of
the nominated land or interest in land
would be consistent with an agency
approved land use plan, and if any
public safety, hazardous contaminant or
other liability, and land title issues
present on the property can be
mitigated.
The nominations will be assessed by
the four agencies for public benefits and
ranked in a priority order in accordance
with the state plan. Items considered in
the prioritization process include the
date the inholding was established and
the extent to which acquisition of the
land will facilitate land management
efficiency.
The identification of an inholding
creates no obligation on the part of the
landowner to convey the inholding or
any obligation on the part of the United
States to acquire the inholding. Land
purchases under the act must be at fair
market value consistent with applicable
provisions of the Uniform Appraisal
Standards for Federal Land
Acquisitions. Detailed information on
the MOU, the state plan, the acquisition
process, and the acquisition nomination
package requirements may be obtained
by contacting BLM at the above address.
