Notice of Realty Re-designation of Public Domain (PD) land to O&C 
Status, Clackamas County, Oregon (OR-55235)

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The following public domain land in Clackamas County, Oregon 
has been examined and found suitable for re-designation and conversion 
to O&C status for management under the provisions of the O&C Act of 
August 28, 1937, 50 Stat. 874:

T. 7 S., R. 3 E., Willamette Meridian

Section 2, all,
Section 10, all,
Section 22, all,
Section 26, SW\1/4\NW\1/4\,
Section 28, NW\1/4\,

    The abovementioned lands total 2,091.86 acres, more or less.

    Title IV, Sec. 401(g) of the Oregon Resource Conservation Act of 
1996, contained in Division B of the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriation 
Act of 1997, Public Law 104-208, mandated BLM to exchange certain land 
and manage the acquired land and other BLM lands within view of the Mt. 
Hood Loop Highway (U.S. Highway 26) primarily for the protection and 
enhancement of scenic qualities, ``The Longview Fibre Exchange'' (OR-
55235). The legislation also required re-designation of sufficient 
public domain 2 (PD) land to O&C status so as to maintain the current 
flow of revenue to the O&C counties. Other than the proposed change in 
status, re-designated lands will continue to be managed in accordance 
with the Salem District Resource Management Plan completed in May, 
1995.
    Detailed information regarding this action is available for review 
at the office of the Salem District, Bureau of Land Management, 1717 
Fabry Road S.E., Salem, Oregon 97306.
    For a period of 45 days from the publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments regarding the 
proposed re-designation of the land to the Manager, Cascades Resource 
Area, 1717 Fabry Road S.E., Salem, Oregon 97306.

COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments involving the 
suitability of these PD lands for re-designation to O&C status. 
Comments on the re-designation are restricted to whether the land is 
physically suited for the proposal, whether the use will maximize the 
future use or uses of the land, whether the use is consistent with 
local planning and zoning, or if the use is consistent with state and 
federal programs.
    Comments received on the re-designation will be answered by the 
State Director with the right to further comment to the Secretary. In 
the absence of any adverse comments, the re-designation will become 
effective 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.

    Dated: November 22, 1999.
Richard C. Prather,
Manager, Cascades Resource Area.
