The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined and found suitable for classification for lease under the Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 860 et seq.), approximately 19.34 acres of public land in Chaffee County, Colorado. The BLM proposes to amend the Colorado Parks and Wildlife's (CPW) existing R&PP Lease (COC-49757) to include the following 19.34 acres in the BLM Salida East Recreation area. The BLM and CPW jointly manage a number of recreation sites in the Arkansas River corridor under a cooperative management agreement. Public lands jointly managed by the BLM and CPW are designated as the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA). The lands requested in the CPW's lease amendment application are located on public lands within the river corridor and are currently managed by the BLM as a developed recreational facility. If the lease is approved the lands will become part of the AHRA. An R&PP lease to CPW will allow improvements in the Salida East facilities and enhance opportunities for public recreation and public safety.

Classification for Lease in Chaffee County, Colorado

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined and found 
suitable for classification for lease under the Recreation and Public 
Purposes (R&PP) Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 860 et seq.), approximately 
19.34 acres of public land in Chaffee County, Colorado. The BLM 
proposes to amend the Colorado Parks and Wildlife's (CPW) existing R&PP 
Lease (COC-49757) to include the following 19.34 acres in the BLM 
Salida East Recreation area. The BLM and CPW jointly manage a number of 
recreation sites in the Arkansas River corridor under a cooperative 
management agreement. Public lands jointly managed by the BLM and CPW 
are designated as the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA). The 
lands requested in the CPW's lease amendment application are located on 
public lands within the river corridor and are currently managed by the 
BLM as a developed recreational facility. If the lease is approved the 
lands will become part of the AHRA. An R&PP lease to CPW will allow 
improvements in the Salida East facilities and enhance opportunities 
for public recreation and public safety.

proposed classification of lands, or lease of the land, on or before 
November 2, 2015.

and disposal under the mineral material disposal laws.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for joint management by the BLM

Comments on the classification 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

[[Page 56491]]

is consistent with State and Federal programs.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of 
development that would amend R&PP lease COC- 49757 and whether the BLM 
followed proper administrative procedures in reaching the decision to 
lease under the R&PP Act.
    Any comments will be reviewed by the BLM who may sustain, vacate, 
or modify this realty action. In the absence of any adverse comments, 
the classification of the land described in this notice will become 
effective November 17, 2015.
    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 us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
