Notice of Realty Action; Extension of Temporary Segregation of 
Public Lands for Proposed Disposal in Blaine County, ID

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.

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

SUMMARY: This notice extends the temporary segregation on 2,480 acres 
of public lands in Blaine County, Idaho for up to 2 additional years.

FOR FUTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tara Hagen, Realty Specialist, Bureau 
of Land Management Shoshone Field Office, 400 West F Street, Shoshone, 
Idaho 83352 or by phone at (208) 732-7205.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notification of a 2-year segregation of the 
following described public land from all forms of appropriation under 
the public land laws, including the mining laws, except the sale and 
exchange provisions of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
1976, appeared in the Federal Register on March 25, 2009 (74 FR 12890):

Boise Meridian

T. 2 S., R. 18 E.,
    Secs. 25 and 26;
    Sec. 27, lots 1 to 8, inclusive, E\1/2\, and E\1/2\W\1/2\;
    Sec. 34, lot 1, N\1/2\NE\1/4\, and NE\1/4\NW\1/4\;
    Sec. 35, E\1/2\, and N\1/2\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains approximately 2,480 acres in Blaine 
County.
    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in cooperation with the Federal 
Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to prepare a management framework 
plan amendment and associated environmental impact statement (EIS) to 
consider the location and construction of a replacement airport for the 
Friedman Memorial Airport. This also involves the potential disposal of 
public land in Blaine County, Idaho. The FAA

[[Page 16445]]

has been identified as the lead agency for the replacement airport EIS. 
The BLM is a cooperating agency, as one of the alternative sites occurs 
wholly on public land administered by the BLM. During processing of 
this complex EIS, the FAA has encountered unanticipated delays, 
including the need for additional geotechnical, noise, and water 
studies.
    In accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d), the BLM Idaho State Director 
has determined that extension of the temporary segregation of the land 
described in this notice is necessary to provide sufficient time to 
complete the final processing steps required to consider these lands 
for disposal. The segregative effect will terminate non issuance of a 
patent, publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the 
segregation, or on March 24, 2013, whichever occurs first.
