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
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

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 Agreement,
may be obtained by contacting Cathie

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
NPS/Minerals Management Program/
Mining Claims and Non-Federal Oil and
Gas Rights.
OMB Number: 1024–0064.
Expiration Date of Approval: August
31, 2006.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Description of Need: The NPS
regulates mineral development activities
inside park boundaries on mining
claims and on non-Federal oil and gas
rights under regulations codified at 36
CFR Part 9, Subpart A (‘‘9A
regulations’’), and 36 CFR Part 9,
Subpart B (‘‘9B Regulations’’),
respectively. The NPS promulgated both
sets of regulations in the late 1970’s. In
the case of mining claims, the NPS
promulgated the 9A regulations
pursuant to congressional authority
granted under the Mining in the Parks
Act of 1976, 16 U.S.C. 1901 et seq., and
individual park enabling statutes. For
non-Federal oil and gas rights, the NPS
regulates development activities
pursuant to authority under the NPS
Organic Act of 1916, 16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.,
and individual enabling statues. As
directed by Congress, the NPS
developed the regulations in order to
protect park resources and visitor values
from the adverse impacts associated
with mineral development in park
boundaries. NPS specifically requests
comments on: (1) The need for
information including whether the
information has practical utility; (2) the
accuracy of the reporting burden hour
estimates; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of
information collection on respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
