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.

Notice of Realty Action; Recreation and Public Purposes Act 
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.

DATES: Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the 
proposed classification of lands, or lease of the land, on or before 
November 2, 2015.
