SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title V, Sec. 501(a) of the Oregon Resource Conservation Act of 1996, contained in Division B of the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriation Act of 1997, Public Law 104-208, mandated the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to transfer into trust certain federal lands in perpetuity for the Coquille Tribe. The legislation directed that the transferred land be designated as the Coquille Forest. That land transfer was completed on September 30, 1998. The legislation also required redesignation of sufficient land to revested OC and reconveyed CBWR grant land status to maintain the current (pre-transfer) flow of revenue to the OC counties. Other than the proposed change in status, redesignated lands will continue to be managed in accordance with the current Coos Bay District Resource Management Plan completed in May, 1995.
The following PD lands in Lane, Douglas, and Curry Counties, Oregon have been examined and found suitable for redesignation and conversion to OC status for management under the provisions of the OC Act of August 28, 1937 (50 Stat. 874):
