BILLING CODE 4184-01-M DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. 2003D-0379] (formerly Docket No. 03D-0379) Guidance for Industry: Preparing a Claim of Categorical Exclusion or an Environmental Assessment for Submission to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition; Availability AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration
(FDA)is announcing the availability of a guidance document entitled “Guidance for Industry: Preparing a Claim of Categorical Exclusion or an Environmental Assessment for Submission to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition” (the guidance). This guidance provides information to industry on how to prepare a claim of categorical exclusion or an environmental assessment
(EA)for submission to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) in notifications for food contact substances, food additive petitions, color additive petitions, requests for exemption from regulation as a food additive, generally recognized as safe
(GRAS)petitions, and petitions for certain food labeling regulations. DATES: This guidance document is final upon the date of publication. Submit written or electronic comments concerning this guidance document at any time. ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of the guidance document to the Office of Food Additive Safety (HFS-265), Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug Administration, 5100 Paint Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD 20740. Include a self-addressed adhesive label to assist that office in processing your request. Submit written comments on the guidance to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Submit electronic comments to *http://www.fda.gov/dockets/ecomments* . To ensure a timelier processing of comments, FDA is no longer accepting comments submitted to the agency by e-mail. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for electronic access to the guidance document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Layla I. Batarseh, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-246), 5100 Paint Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD, 20740-3835, 301-436-1296, FAX 301-436-2973, or e-mail: *layla.batarseh@fda.hhs.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background As an integral part of its decision-making process, FDA is obligated under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA)to consider the environmental impact of its actions, including allowing notifications for food contact substances to become effective and approving food additive petitions, color additive petitions, GRAS affirmation petitions, requests for exemption from regulation as a food additive, and actions on certain food labeling citizen petitions, nutrient content claims petitions, and health claims petitions. In 1997, FDA amended its regulations in 21 CFR part 25 to provide for categorical exclusions for additional classes of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment (62 FR 40570, July 29, 1997). As a result of that rulemaking, FDA no longer routinely requires submission of information about the manufacturing and production of FDA-regulated articles. FDA also has eliminated the previously required EA and abbreviated EA formats from the amended regulations. Instead, FDA is providing this guidance that contains sample formats to help industry submit a claim of categorical exclusion or an EA to CFSAN. This guidance document identifies, interprets, and clarifies existing requirements imposed by statute and regulation, consistent with the Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR 1507.3). It consists of recommendations that do not themselves create requirements; rather, they are explanatory guidance for FDA's own procedures in order to ensure full compliance with the purposes and provisions of NEPA. This guidance provides information to assist in the preparation of claims of categorical exclusion and EAs for submission to CFSAN. The following topics are covered in this guidance:
(1)What types of industry-initiated actions are subject to a claim of categorical exclusion,
(2)What must a claim of categorical exclusion include by regulation,
(3)What is an EA,
(4)When is an EA required by regulation and what format should be used,
(5)What are extraordinary circumstances, and
(6)What suggestions does CFSAN have for preparing an EA? Although CFSAN encourages industry to use the EA formats described in this guidance because standardized documentation submitted by industry increases the efficiency of the review process, alternative approaches may be used if these approaches satisfy the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. In the **Federal Register** of September 17, 2003 (68 FR 54462), FDA announced the availability of a draft guidance document entitled “Guidance for Industry: Preparing a Claim of Categorical Exclusion or an Environmental Assessment for Submission to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.” The agency solicited public comments on the draft guidance document. FDA did not receive any comments and is finalizing the draft guidance without revision, except for those revisions necessary to update certain contact information. FDA is issuing this guidance document as a level 1 guidance consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). This guidance document represents FDA's current thinking on the preparation of a claim of categorical exclusion or an EA for submission to CFSAN. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. You may use an alternative approach if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. If you want to discuss an alternative approach, contact the FDA staff responsible for implementing this guidance (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT ). II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This guidance contains information collection provisions that are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The collection of information in this guidance was approved under OMB control number 0910-0541. III. Comments Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES ) written or electronic comments regarding this guidance at any time. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one paper copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. The guidance document and received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. IV.

(OMB)for Approval Under the Paperwork Reduction Act; Research To Support Outdoor Recreation Management at Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice; request for comments. SUMMARY: We (Fish and Wildlife Service) have requested that OMB approve our information collection associated with research to support outdoor recreation management at Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge, Errol, New Hampshire. We have requested that OMB approve this information collection for a 1-year term. DATES: You must submit comments on or before June 19, 2006. ADDRESSES: Send your comments and suggestions on this information collection to the Desk Officer for the Department of the Interior at OMB-OIRA at
(202)395-6566
(fax)or *OIRA_DOCKET@OMB.eop.gov* (e-mail). Please provide a copy of your comments to Hope Grey, Information Collection Clearance Officer, Fish and Wildlife Service, MS 222-ARLSQ, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203 (mail);
(703)358-2269 (fax); or *hope_grey@fws.gov* (e-mail). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request a copy of the information collection requirements, explanatory information, or related form, contact Hope Grey, Information Collection Clearance Officer, at the above addresses or by telephone at
(703)358-2482. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which implement the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), require that interested members of the public and affected agencies have an opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). Federal agencies may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. On January 27, 2006, we published in the **Federal Register** (71 FR 4607) a notice of our intent to request information collection authority from OMB. In that notice, we solicited public comments for 60 days, ending March 28, 2006. We received comments from one individual who objected to the use of Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge for hunting, trapping, and related recreational uses. The commenter did not address the necessity, clarity, or accuracy of the information collection, but suggested that we seek input from the public outside the local area of the refuge. The proposed survey will include a representative sample of all visitors to the refuge, both local and non-local. We did not make any changes to our information collection based on this comment. The National Wildlife Refuge Improvement Act of 1997, which amended the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act (16 U.S.C. 668dd-668ee), guides planning and management of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The law identifies six priority wildlife-dependent recreational uses and provides a process for ensuring that these and other activities do not conflict with the management purpose and goals of each refuge. The Act also requires that we develop a comprehensive conservation plan
(CCP)for every refuge by the year 2012. A refuge CCP outlines goals, objectives, and management strategies for the refuge. It provides a vision and describes desired future conditions for the refuge. Development of a CCP for Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge is ongoing and requires baseline information on recreation use and use patterns at the refuge. Since recreation use is dispersed at this refuge, the only feasible way to collect information on recreation use is through an onsite visitor survey. We will ask questions about visitor experience, wildlife disturbance, crowding, fishing, and camping. This type of information is especially important at Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge because of increasing concern over growing recreational use and its potential impacts on sensitive wildlife populations. *Title of Collection:* Research to Support Outdoor Recreation Management at Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge. *OMB Control Number:* None; this is a new collection. *Form Number:* FWS Form 3-2330. *Frequency of Responses:* On occasion. *Description of Respondents:* Visitors to Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge. *Number of Respondents:* 500. *Number of Responses:* 500. *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:* 125 hours. We estimate that the reporting burden will average 15 minutes per respondent. We invite your comments concerning this information collection on:
(1)Whether or not the collection of information is necessary to properly manage visitor carrying capacity, including whether or not the information will have practical utility;
(2)the accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond. Dated: April 14, 2006. Hope Grey, Information Collection Clearance Officer, Fish and Wildlife Service.

ACTION: Notice of availability. SUMMARY: This notice advises the public and other agencies of the availability of the Alamosa River Watershed Restoration Master Plan and Environmental Assessment (“Plan”) prepared under the direction of Federal and state natural resource trustees, pursuant to subpart G of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (40 CFR 300.600 and 300.610) and Executive Order 12580. The Department of the Interior (represented by the Bureau of Land Management and the Fish and Wildlife Service), Department of Agriculture (represented by the Forest Service), and the State of Colorado (represented by the Departments of Law, Natural Resources, and Public Health and the Environment) are Trustees for natural resources considered in this Plan. The Alamosa River is located in the San Luis Valley of south-central Colorado. The Plan describes the Alamosa River environment and the impacts to watershed resources and land uses, and briefly describes proposed restoration projects. DATES: On November 10, 2005, the Authorized Official (Colorado State Director of the Bureau of Land Management) of the Department of the Interior issued a Decision Record, which approved the preferred alternative in the Plan and Environmental Assessment. The Decision Record also referred to an attached Finding of No Significant Impact to the human environment, which concluded that an Environmental Impact Statement is not required. The Regional Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service concurred with release of the Plan. The Regional Forester of the Forest Service concurred with the Decision Record for the Plan and the Finding of No Significant Impact for the Environmental Assessment. *Addresses and Further Information:* The Plan is available at the following Internet address: *http://mountain-prairie.fws.gov/nrda/SummitvilleColo/Summitville.htm.* Copies of the document are available for on-site review in the Del Norte Public Library, 190 Grand Avenue, Del Norte, CO 81131 or Department of Agriculture, Conejos County Natural Resources Conservation Service, 15 Spruce, La Jara, CO 81140. The Decision Record and further information is available from Robert Robinson, Bureau of Land Management, 2850 Youngfield Street, Lakewood, CO 80215, telephone 303-239-3642, or via e-mail at *rob_robinson@blm.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Plan comprehensively addresses all watershed restoration needs, including those resulting from injuries pursuant to the federal Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) regulations in Title 43 Code of Federal Regulations part 11, as well as restoration needs arising from other impacts. The Plan also outlines several sets of projects based on competing needs and limited funding, and identifies a preferred restoration alternative, consisting of a project set that best addresses the various resource impacts. The Decision Record approves the preferred alternative, which includes projects for greater in-stream flow, cleaner surface water, river bank stabilization, restored riparian areas, abandoned mine reclamation, and increased public access to the river corridor. The Plan envisions funds from the NRDAR settlement, along with matching funds, grants, and other funding sources, to support the preferred alternative. The restoration actions ultimately undertaken will result from proposals for specific actions that respond to the needs and projects identified in the preferred restoration alternative. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, more commonly known as the Federal ”Superfund” law) [42 U.S.C. 9601 *et seq.* ] and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, commonly known as the Clean Water Act
(CWA)[33 U.S.C. 1251 *et seq.* ] authorize States, federally recognized Tribes, and certain Federal agencies, which have the authority to manage or control natural resources, to act as ”trustees” on behalf of the public, to restore, rehabilitate, replace, and/or acquire natural resources equivalent to those harmed by hazardous substance releases. The objective of the NRDAR process in the Alamosa River watershed is to compensate the public, through restoration actions, for losses to natural resources and services that have been caused by releases of toxic metals into the watershed. Restoration activities will be funded in part by natural resource damages recovered in settlement from the party responsible for recent contamination emanating from the Summitville mine in the upper watershed. The damages received must be used to restore, rehabilitate, replace and/or acquire the equivalent of those natural resources that have been injured. The Trustees have a Memorandum of Agreement which establishes a Trustee Council to develop and implement a restoration plan for ecological restorations in the Alamosa River watershed. The Trustees followed the NRDAR regulations found at Title 43 Code of Federal Regulations part 11 for development of the Plan. The Trustees have worked together, in a cooperative process with the public, to determine appropriate restoration activities to address natural resource injuries caused by Summitville releases of hazardous substances, as well as other watershed impacts identified during planning. The Plan addresses the Trustees' overall approach to restore, rehabilitate, replace, or acquire the equivalent of natural resources injured by the release of toxic metals into the Alamosa River watershed environment. The public was invited to review and comment on the draft Plan during a 30-day period, and to attend a meeting near the site during which important elements of the draft Plan were presented. Approximately 29 comments were received, to which responses have been prepared and included, along with the comments, in the final Plan. Some comments prompted minor text changes, but no comments required significant changes to the document, or to the restoration approach that the Trustees and public have selected.

ACTION: Notice of realty action. SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management
(BLM)proposes to sell a 1.556 acre triangular parcel of public land in the northwest portion of the Las Vegas Valley, Nevada, to the owner of lands adjoining two sides of the parcel. The third side is bounded by a street right-of-way. The adjoining private owner has requested that the parcel be sold to him by direct sale at not less than the appraised market value of the land. DATES: On or before July 3, 2006, interested parties may submit comments concerning the proposed sale to the BLM Field Manager, Las Vegas Field Office, at the address stated below. ADDRESSES: Las Vegas Field Office, Bureau of Land Management, 4701 N. Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89130. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shawna Woods, Realty Specialist at
(702)515-5099. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to a request of Mr. Randy Black Jr., the BLM proposes to sell a parcel of public land located in the northwest portion of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area and further described below. The subject parcel contains 1.556-gross acres in the form of an isolated triangle, resulting from the recent realignment of Durango Drive, which is now a major arterial with a median and three lanes of traffic in each direction. The subject site is surrounded by land controlled by Mr. Black. Due to the development size, shape, and access issues, the real estate appraisal report prepared for BLM concluded that the highest and best use of the site would be for assemblage with the adjacent property controlled by Mr. Black. As part of a larger parcel, the subject site has greater development potential and fewer limits on possible use due to size, shape and access. The subject parcel would be sold at not less than the fair market value of $546,900.00. The following described land in Clark County, Nevada, has been examined and found suitable for direct sale pursuant to section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 ((FLPMA) Public Law 94-579, as amended , 43 U.S.C. 1713) and the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA, Pub. L. 105-263) and 43 CFR 2711.3-3. Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada T. 19 S., R 60 E., Section 29, portions of the following aliquot parts: NE 1/4 NE 1/4 NW 1/4 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 , NWA 1/4 NE 1/4 NW 1/4 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 , NE 1/4 SW 1/4 NE 1/4 NW 1/4 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 , N 1/2 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 NW 1/4 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 , NE 1/4 NE 1/4 NW 1/4 NW 1/4 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 , NW 1/4 NE 1/4 NW 1/4 NW 1/4 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 , NE 1/4 SW 1/4 NE 1/4 NW 1/4 NW 1/4 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 , N 1/2 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 NW 1/4 NW 1/4 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 , N 1/2 NE 1/4 NW 1/4 NW 1/4 NW 1/4 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 , NE 1/4 NW 1/4 NW 1/4 NW 1/4 NW 1/4 SE 1/4 NE 1/4 . (Approximately 1.556 acres) This proposed action is in conformance with the Las Vegas Resource Management Plan, approved on October 5, 1998. The plan has been reviewed and it is determined the proposed action conforms with land use plan decision LD-1 established in accordance with section 202 of FLPMA, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1713). A direct sale to Mr. Randy Black, Jr. is being proposed, and is considered appropriate, in this case, as the transfer of the Federal non-mineral interest to any other entity would not protect existing equities of the surrounding private land owned by Mr. Black. A direct sale may be utilized when the tract identified is an integral part of a project and speculative bidding would jeopardize a timely completion and economic viability of the project, there is a need to recognize an authorized use such as an existing business which could suffer a substantial economic loss if the tract were purchased by other than the authorized user and the adjoining ownership pattern and access indicate a direct sale is appropriate. The land is not required for any Federal purpose. The sale will be made subject to the applicable provisions of FLPMA and the regulations of the Secretary of the Interior. When patented, title to the land will continue to be subject to the following: 1. A reservation of a right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. 391, 43 U.S.C. 945). 2. A reservation to the United States of oil and gas, sodium and potassium and salable minerals together with the right to prospect for, mine and remove such deposits from the same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe. 3. Valid existing rights of record, including, but not limited to those documented on the BLM public land records at the time of sale. 4. Rights for a roadway granted to the City of Las Vegas, its successors and assigns, by BLM right-of-way No. N-74262, pursuant to section 501 of FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1761). The patentee, by accepting a patent, covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the United States harmless from any costs, damages, claims, causes of action, penalties, fines, liabilities, and judgments of any kind or nature arising from the past, present, and future acts or omissions of the patentees or their employees, agents, contractors, or lessees, or any third-party, arising out of or in connection with the patentees' use, occupancy, or operations on the patented real property. This indemnification and hold harmless agreement includes, but is not limited to, acts and omissions of the patentees and their employees, agents, contractors, or lessees, or any third party, arising out of or in connection with the use and/or occupancy of the patented real property which has already resulted or does hereafter result in:
(1)Violations of Federal, State, and local laws and regulations that are now or may in the future become, applicable to the real property;
(2)Judgments, claims, or demands of any kind assessed against the United States;
(3)Costs, expenses, or damages of any kind incurred by the United States;
(4)Releases or threatened releases of solid or hazardous waste(s) and/or hazardous substances(s), as defined by Federal or State environmental laws, off, on, into or under land, property and other interests of the United States;
(5)Activities by which solids or hazardous substances or wastes, as defined by Federal and State environmental laws are generated, released, stored, used or otherwise disposed of on the patented real property, and any cleanup response, remedial action or other actions related in any manner to said solid or hazardous substances or wastes; or
(6)Natural resource damages as defined by Federal and State law. Patentee shall stipulate that it will be solely responsible for compliance with all applicable Federal, state and local environmental and regulatory provisions, throughout the life of the facility, including any closure and/or post-closure requirements that may be imposed with respect to any physical plant and/or facility upon the real property under any Federal, state or local environmental laws or regulatory provisions. This covenant shall be construed as running with the above described parcel of land patented or otherwise conveyed by the United States, and may be enforced by the United States in a court of competent jurisdiction. No warranty of any kind, express or implied is given or will be given by the United States as to the title, physical condition or potential uses of the land proposed for sale. However, to the extent required by law, such land is subject to the requirements of section 120(h) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended (42 U.S. C. 9620(h)). Publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** temporarily segregates the above described land from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws. The segregative effect of this notice will terminate in the future as specified in 43 CFR 2711.1-3(c)). The above described land was previously segregated from mineral entry under BLM case file number N-66364, with record notation as of October 19, 1998. This previous segregation will terminate upon publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** . Detailed information concerning the proposed sale, including an environmental assessment and the approved appraisal report is available for review at the BLM Las Vegas Field Office at the address above. The Field Manager, BLM, Las Vegas Field Office, will review the comments of all interested parties concerning the sale. To be considered, comments must be received at the BLM Las Vegas Field Office on or before the date stated above in this notice for that purpose. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM, Nevada State Director. In the absence of any adverse comments, the decision will become effective on July 17, 2006. The lands will not be offered for sale until after the decision becomes effective. (Authority: 43 CFR 2711.1-2(a)). Dated: February 16, 2006.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act of 2000 (43 U.S.C. 2303) (FLTFA), this notice provides the public the opportunity to nominate inholding properties within the States of Oregon and Washington for possible acquisition by the Federal agencies identified below. DATES: Nominations may be submitted at any time following the publication of this notice. ADDRESSES: Nominations should be mailed to the attention of the FLTFA Program Manager for the agency listed below having jurisdiction over the adjacent Federal designated area: Bureau of Land Management, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, OR 97208, USDA Forest Service, P.O. Box 3623, Portland, OR 97208-3623; National Park Service, 1111 Jackson Street, Suite 700, Oakland, CA 94607-4807; and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pacific Region, 911 NE 11th Ave., Portland, OR 97232. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Chappel, FLTFA Program Manager, BLM Oregon State Office, 503-808-6170; or e-mail *pam_chappel@blm.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the FLTFA, the four Federal agencies noted above are offering to the public an opportunity to nominate lands in the States of Oregon and Washington for possible Federal acquisition. Under the provisions of FLTFA, only the following non-Federal lands are eligible for nomination:
(1)Inholdings within a federally-designated area; or
(2)Inholdings adjacent to federally-designated areas that 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 an area, in existence on July 25, 2000, set aside for special management, including units of the national park system managed by the National Park Service, national wildlife refuge system managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or national forest system managed by the USDA Forest Service, and national monuments, national conservation areas, national riparian conservation areas, national recreation areas, national scenic areas, research natural areas, national outstanding natural areas, national landmarks, and areas of critical environmental concern managed by the Bureau of Land Management, wilderness or wilderness study areas, and units of the wild and scenic rivers system or national trails system. If you are uncertain if a particular area meets the statutory definition in FLTFA of a federally-designated area, you should consult the statute or the BLM as provided above. Exceptional resource refers to a resource of scientific, natural, historic, cultural or recreational value which 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 in order 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. 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 or is not otherwise contaminated and would not be difficult or uneconomical 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 inholdings in 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 Pam Chappel at the address stated above. Requests for the forms may be made by phone, e-mail, or U.S. Postal Service mail. The agencies will assess the nominations for public benefits and rank the nominations in accordance with a jointly prepared State level Interagency Implementation Agreement for FLTFA and a national level Interagency 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 and details of the Statewide Interagency Implementation Agreement, may be obtained by contacting Pam Chappel at the address noted above.
