These programs have some similarities,
but also key differences. The differences
stem from important features of each
program’s authorizing legislation and
different RMA objectives. Prospective
applicants should carefully examine
and compare the notices for each
program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Land Exchanges.
OMB Number: 0596–0105.
Expiration Date of Approval:
December 31, 2006.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Land exchanges are
discretionary, voluntary real estate
transactions between the Secretary of
Agriculture (acting by and through the
Forest Service) and a non-Federal
exchange party (or parties). Land
exchanges can be initiated by a nonFederal party (or parties), an agent of a
landowner, a broker, a third party, or a
non-Federal public agency.
Each land exchange requires
preparation of an Agreement to Initiate,
as required by Title 36 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), part 254, subpart C,
section 254.4—Agreement to Initiate an
Exchange. This document specifies the
preliminary and non-binding intentions
of the non-Federal land exchange party
and the Forest Service in pursuing a
land exchange. The Agreement to
Initiate can contain such information as
the description of properties being
considered in the land exchange, an
implementation schedule of action
items, identification of the party
responsible for each action item, as well
as target dates for completion of each
action item.
As the exchange proposal develops,
the Forest Service and the non-Federal
land exchange party may enter into a
binding Exchange Agreement, pursuant
to Title 36 CFR part 254, subpart A,
section 254.14—Exchange Agreement.
The Exchange Agreement documents
the conditions that must be met to
complete the exchange. The Exchange
Agreement can contain information
such as identification of parties,
description of lands and interests to be
exchanged, identification of all reserved
and outstanding interests, and all other
terms and conditions necessary to
complete the exchange.
The Forest Service collects the
information from the non-Federal party
(or parties) necessary to complete the
Agreement to Initiate and the Exchange
Agreement. The information is collected
by Forest Service personnel from parties
involved in the exchange via telephone
or in person. Data from this information
collection is unique to each land
exchange and is not available from other
sources. No standardized forms are
associated with this information
collection.
