Recovery Plan Goals
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
The objective of an agency recovery
plan is to provide a framework for the
recovery of a species so that protection
under the Act is no longer necessary. A
recovery plan includes scientific
information about the species and
provides criteria and actions necessary
for us to be able to reclassify the species
to threatened status or remove it from
the Federal List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants (List).
Recovery plans help guide our recovery
efforts by describing actions we
consider necessary for the species’
conservation and by estimating time and
costs for implementing needed recovery
measures. To achieve its goals, this
recovery plan addendum identifies the
following objectives:
• Support the thick-billed parrot
throughout its range in perpetuity.
• Maintain habitat conditions
necessary to provide feeding, nesting,
and wintering habitat for the thickbilled parrot through time.
• Assess the potential for the United
States to support naturally dispersing or
actively relocated thick-billed parrots,
including a review of U.S. historical
habitat, current habitat management,
and habitat connectivity with Mexico.
The recovery plan addendum
contains recovery criteria based on
maintaining and increasing population
numbers and habitat quality and
quantity. The recovery plan addendum
focuses on protecting populations,
managing threats, maintaining habitat,
monitoring progress, and building
partnerships to facilitate recovery.
As the thick-billed parrot meets
recovery criteria, we will review the
subspecies’ status and consider
downlisting, and, ultimately, removal
from the List.

Notice of Proposed Classification of
Public Lands/Minerals for State
Indemnity Selection, Colorado
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Proposed
Classification.
AGENCY:
The Colorado State Board of
Land Commissioners (State) has filed a
petition for classification and
application to obtain public lands and
mineral estate in lieu of lands to which
the State was entitled but did not
receive under its Statehood Act. The
State did not receive title because the
lands had previously been appropriated
in an Indian Reservation or National
Forests. Under Section 7 of the Taylor
Grazing Act of 1934, the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) is proposing to
classify sufficient public lands/minerals
in Colorado for title transfer to the State
to satisfy this obligation to the State.
DATES: Comments must be received by
September 3, 2013.
The BLM will not consider or include
comments received after the close of the
comment period or comments delivered
to an address other than that listed
below.
Persons asserting a claim to or interest
in the lands or mineral estate described
in this notice will find the requirements
for filing such claims in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.
ADDRESSES: The public may submit
comments by mail or hand delivery to:
State Director, Colorado State Office,
Bureau of Land Management, U.S.
Department of the Interior, 2850
Youngfield Street, Lakewood, CO
80215–7093.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
D. Beck, Chief, Branch of Lands and
Realty, at (303) 239–3882. Persons who
use a telecommunications device for the
deaf (TDD) may call the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at
1–800–877–8339, to contact the above
individual. FIRS is available 24 hours a
day, seven days a week to leave a
message or question with the above
individual. You will receive a reply
during normal business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections
2275 and 2276 of the Revised Statutes,
as amended (43 U.S.C. 851 and 852),
provide authority for Colorado to
receive title to public lands in lieu of
lands to which it was entitled under
Section 7 of its statehood act of March

3, 1875, where it did not receive title
because the land had previously been
appropriated for an Indian reservation
or National Forests.
Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act of
June 8, 1934 requires that such public
lands/minerals identified for proposed
transfers out of Federal ownership must
first be classified. The BLM is proposing
to classify these lands/minerals
pursuant to 43 CFR Part 2400 and
Section 7 of the Act of June 8, 1934 (48
Stat. 1272, as amended), 43 U.S.C.
315(f). For a period until September 3,
2013, all persons who wish to submit
comments, suggestions, or objections in
connection with this proposed
classification may present their views
by any means shown under the
ADDRESSES section above.
Any adverse comments will be
evaluated by the BLM Colorado State
Director, who will issue a notice of
determination to proceed with, modify,
or cancel the proposed action. In the
absence of any action by the BLM State
Director, this proposed classification
action will become the final
determination of the Department of the
Interior.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents and
records relating to this proposed
classification will be available for public
review at the BLM Colorado State Office
at the address cited in the ADDRESSES
section above during regular business
hours. Individual respondents may
request confidentiality. Before including
your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
As provided by 43 CFR 2450.4(c), a
public hearing may be scheduled by the
BLM Colorado State Director if it is
determined that sufficient public
interest exists to warrant a hearing.
The lands/minerals included within
this proposed classification are in
Chaffee, Custer, Dolores, Eagle, El Paso,
Garfield, Grand, Huerfano, Jackson,
Kiowa, La Plata, Moffat, Montezuma,
Ouray, Park, Pueblo, Routt and San
Miguel counties, Colorado, and are

Rights-of-way granted by the BLM
will either transfer with any of the
above described land if transferred to
the State or may be reserved by the
United States. Oil and gas, geothermal,
or other leases issued under the
authority of the Mineral Leasing Act of
1920 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) will remain
in effect under the terms and conditions
of the leases.
Colorado state law and the State’s
procedures provide for the offering to
holders of BLM grazing permits,
licenses, or leases the first right to lease
lands that may be transferred to the
State. This notice of proposed
classification constitutes the required
two-year official notice to present
holders of grazing use authorizations
from the BLM that such authorizations
will be terminated upon transfer of any
of the land described above to the State
of Colorado (43 CFR 4110.4–2(b)).
For a period until August 16, 2013,
persons asserting a claim to, or interest
in, the above-described lands or mineral
estate, other than holders of leases,
permits, or rights-of-way, may file such
claim with the BLM Colorado State
Director at the address cited in the
ADDRESSES section above. You must also
provide evidence that a copy thereof has
been served on the Board of Land
Commissioners, State of Colorado, 1127
Sherman Street, Suite 300, Denver, CO
80203–2206.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 2462.1,
publication of this notice of proposed
classification in the Federal Register
segregates the above described lands
from all forms of disposal under the
public land laws, including the mining
laws, except for the form of land
disposal specified in this notice of
proposed classification. However, this
publication does not alter the
applicability of the public land laws
governing the use of the lands under
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:48 Jul 01, 2013
Jkt 229001
lease, license, or permit, or governing
the disposal of their mineral and
vegetative resources, other than under
the mining laws.
The segregative effect of this proposed
classification will terminate in one of
the following ways:
(1) Classification of the lands within
two years of publication of this notice
of proposed classification in the Federal
Register;
(2) Publication of a notice of
termination of the proposed
classification in the Federal Register;
(3) An Act of Congress;
(4) Expiration of a two-year period
from the date of publication of this
notice of proposed classification, or
expiration of an additional period, not
exceeding two years, if the required
notice of an extension for the proposed
classification is given.
Authority: 43 CFR part 2400.

(43 U.S.C. 1713 and 1719):
Boise Meridian
T. 1 S., R. 20 E.,
Sec. 15, lot 6.
The area described contains 3.39
acres, more or less.
The public land is identified as
suitable for disposal in the BLM Sun
Valley Management Framework Plan, as
amended.
The PORR owns approximately 523
acres of private land adjoining the
subject parcel on three sides. The
subject parcel is difficult and
uneconomical to manage because it is
physically separated from other public
lands by a fence and a county road. The
disposal would allow for the road to
become an identifiable boundary
between public and private lands and
improve efficiencies in the management
of both the public and private land. It
has been determined that the lands are
not needed for Federal purposes and
that conveyance is consistent with
current BLM land use planning and
would be in the public interest. Disposal
of this parcel would allow PORR to
cultivate the property in conjunction
with its adjoining ranch and include the
parcel within an existing conservation
easement held by The Nature
Conservancy that encompasses the
adjoining PORR fee. Such use of the
subject parcel could be achieved
prudently and feasibly in conjunction
with the PORR’s fee and therefore
outweigh other public values, including
recreation and scenic values, which may
be served by retaining the subject
parcel.
Current BLM policy and regulations
for land sales [43 CFR 2710.0–6(c)(1–5)]
require the use of competitive sale
procedures unless the authorized officer
determines the public interest would
best be served by modified competitive
bidding or direct (non-competitive) sale.
In this instance, PORR owns about 523
acres of abutting property. In fact, for
several decades prior to the discovery of
the unauthorized development in 2005,
the parcel was mapped as private land.
In recognition of PORR’s adjoining
ownership, as well as to resolve an
inadvertent trespass, PORR meets
regulatory requirements for a direct sale.
The BLM has completed a mineral
potential report which concluded there

Notice of Proposed Classification of Public Lands/Minerals for
State Indemnity Selection, Colorado
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Proposed Classification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners (State) has
filed a petition for classification and application to obtain public
lands and mineral estate in lieu of lands to which the State was
entitled but did not receive under its Statehood Act. The State did not
receive title because the lands had previously been appropriated in an
Indian Reservation or National Forests. Under Section 7 of the Taylor
Grazing Act of 1934, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing
to classify sufficient public lands/minerals in Colorado for title
transfer to the State to satisfy this obligation to the State.
DATES: Comments must be received by September 3, 2013.
The BLM will not consider or include comments received after the
close of the comment period or comments delivered to an address other
than that listed below.
Persons asserting a claim to or interest in the lands or mineral
estate described in this notice will find the requirements for filing
such claims in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.
ADDRESSES: The public may submit comments by mail or hand delivery to:
State Director, Colorado State Office, Bureau of Land Management, U.S.
Department of the Interior, 2850 Youngfield Street, Lakewood, CO 80215-
7093.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John D. Beck, Chief, Branch of Lands
and Realty, at (303) 239-3882. Persons who use a telecommunications
device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay
Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339, to contact the above individual. FIRS
is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to leave a message or
question with the above individual. You will receive a reply during
normal business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 2275 and 2276 of the Revised
Statutes, as amended (43 U.S.C. 851 and 852), provide authority for
Colorado to receive title to public lands in lieu of lands to which it
was entitled under Section 7 of its statehood act of March 3, 1875,
where it did not receive title because the land had previously been
appropriated for an Indian reservation or National Forests.
Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act of June 8, 1934 requires that
such public lands/minerals identified for proposed transfers out of
Federal ownership must first be classified. The BLM is proposing to
classify these lands/minerals pursuant to 43 CFR Part 2400 and Section
7 of the Act of June 8, 1934 (48 Stat. 1272, as amended), 43 U.S.C.
315(f). For a period until September 3, 2013, all persons who wish to
submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with this
proposed classification may present their views by any means shown
under the ADDRESSES section above.
Any adverse comments will be evaluated by the BLM Colorado State
Director, who will issue a notice of determination to proceed with,
modify, or cancel the proposed action. In the absence of any action by
the BLM State Director, this proposed classification action will become
the final determination of the Department of the Interior.
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents and
records relating to this proposed classification will be available for
public review at the BLM Colorado State Office at the address cited in
the ADDRESSES section above during regular business hours. Individual
respondents may request confidentiality. Before including your address,
phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information
in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--
including your personal identifying information--may be made publicly
available at any time. While you can ask in your comment to withhold
your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
As provided by 43 CFR 2450.4(c), a public hearing may be scheduled
by the BLM Colorado State Director if it is determined that sufficient
public interest exists to warrant a hearing.
The lands/minerals included within this proposed classification are
in Chaffee, Custer, Dolores, Eagle, El Paso, Garfield, Grand, Huerfano,
Jackson, Kiowa, La Plata, Moffat, Montezuma, Ouray, Park, Pueblo, Routt
and San Miguel counties, Colorado, and are described as follows:

Rights-of-way granted by the BLM will either transfer with any of
the above described land if transferred to the State or may be reserved
by the United States. Oil and gas, geothermal, or other leases issued
under the authority of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 181
et seq.) will remain in effect under the terms and conditions of the
leases.
Colorado state law and the State's procedures provide for the
offering to holders of BLM grazing permits, licenses, or leases the
first right to lease lands that may be transferred to the State. This
notice of proposed classification constitutes the required two-year
official notice to present holders of grazing use authorizations from
the BLM that such authorizations will be terminated upon transfer of
any of the land described above to the State of Colorado (43 CFR
4110.4-2(b)).
For a period until August 16, 2013, persons asserting a claim to,
or interest in, the above-described lands or mineral estate, other than
holders of leases, permits, or rights-of-way, may file such claim with
the BLM Colorado State Director at the address cited in the ADDRESSES
section above. You must also provide evidence that a copy thereof has
been served on the Board of Land Commissioners, State of Colorado, 1127
Sherman Street, Suite 300, Denver, CO 80203-2206.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 2462.1, publication of this notice of proposed
classification in the Federal Register segregates the above described
lands from all forms of disposal under the public land laws, including
the mining laws, except for the form of land disposal specified in this
notice of proposed classification. However, this publication does not
alter the applicability of the public land laws governing the use of
the lands under lease, license, or permit, or governing the disposal of
their mineral and vegetative resources, other than under the mining
laws.
The segregative effect of this proposed classification will
terminate in one of the following ways:
(1) Classification of the lands within two years of publication of
this notice of proposed classification in the Federal Register;
(2) Publication of a notice of termination of the proposed
classification in the Federal Register;
(3) An Act of Congress;
(4) Expiration of a two-year period from the date of publication of
this notice of proposed classification, or expiration of an additional
period, not exceeding two years, if the required notice of an extension
for the proposed classification is given.
Authority: 43 CFR part 2400.
Helen M. Hankins,
BLM Colorado State Director.
