Request for Public Nomination of Qualified Properties for Potential Purchase by the Federal Government in the State of Idaho, 54683-54684 [E6-15410]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 180 / Monday, September 18, 2006 / Notices elimination of stream or spring flow could destroy an entire population of Newcomb’s snail, and natural disasters such as hurricanes or catastrophic landslides could also destroy vital habitat. The objective of this recovery plan is to ensure the long-term conservation, recovery, and eventual delisting of the species. This recovery will be accomplished through a variety of recovery actions including: (1) Conducting research on the population biology and life history of the Newcomb’s snail; (2) analysis and potential prevention of predation and other forms of negative interspecific interactions that may limit or reduce Newcomb’s snail populations; (3) assurance of adequate stream and spring flows to protect known and potential Newcomb’s snail habitat; (4) making recovery of Newcomb’s snail a part of other landscape conservation efforts, such as preservation of the structure and function of upland forests that maintain and regulate surface run-off to streams and act as areas of infiltration for ground water; (5) using initial recovery efforts and research to periodically validate recovery objectives; and (6) providing educational informational opportunities to build public support for conservation. Authority The authority for this action is section 4(f) of the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 1533(f). Dated: May 4, 2006. David J.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the FLTFA, the four 
agencies noted above are offering to the public the opportunity to 
nominate lands in the state of Idaho that meet FLTFA eligibility 
requirements for possible Federal 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 and 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 land that on July 25, 2000, was 
within the boundary of: a unit of the National Park System; a unit of 
the National Wildlife Refuge System; an area of the National Forest 
System designated for special management; a national monument, national 
conservation area, national riparian conservation area, national 
recreation area, national scenic area, research natural area, national 
outstanding natural area, national natural landmark, or an area of 
critical environmental concern managed by the Bureau of Land 
Management; a wilderness or wilderness study area; or a component of 
the Wild and Scenic Rivers System or National Trails Systems. If you 
are not sure whether a particular area meets the statutory definition 
of a federally designated area in FLTFA, you should consult the statute 
or contact the BLM at the above address.
    An 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 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. Pursuant to FLTFA, 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 and 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 areas where there is no local or tribal government objection to 
Federal acquisition. Nominations may be made at any time following 
publication of this notice and will continue to be accepted for 
consideration during the life of the FLTFA, which ends on July 24, 
2010, unless extended by Act of Congress.
    Nominations may be made on forms available from the BLM at the 
above address. Requests for the forms may also be made by telephone, e-
mail, or U.S. Postal Service mail.
    The agencies will assess the nominations for public benefits and 
rank the nominations in accordance with the jointly prepared state-
level Idaho Interagency Implementation Agreement and the national-level 
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.
    Further information, including the required contents of a 
nomination package and details of the Idaho Interagency Implementation
