SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Western Oregon Tribal
Fairness Act (Pub. L. 115-103) (WOTFA), the BLM reclassified public
domain lands under its administration in western Oregon as O&C lands
(43 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). Section 102 of the WOTFA conveyed BLM-
administered lands to the Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe of Indians
and Section 202 of the WOTFA conveyed BLM-administered lands to the
Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians. Sections
105 and 205 of the WOTFA required the BLM to reclassify public domain
lands as O&C lands in approximately equal acreage and condition as the
conveyed O&C lands. In accordance with sections 105(c) and 205(c) of
the WOTFA, the BLM has prepared maps depicting the conveyed lands.
Also, in accordance with sections 105(c) and 205(c) of the WOTFA, the
BLM has prepared maps depicting the reclassified lands.
As required by the WOTFA, the BLM provided opportunity for public
comment prior to finalizing the identification of the reclassified
lands. Public comment opportunities included a 30-day public scoping
period and a 30-day public comment period on the environmental
assessment developed by the BLM to assess alternatives for potential
lands for reclassification.
The maps described herein have been submitted to Congress and are
available for public inspection (see ADDRESSES).
