H.R. 3464, sponsored by Congressman Mel Hancock, provides for a slight adjustment removing 2 acres from Devil's Backbone Wilderness area within the Mark Twain National Forest. This is necessary to allow for a land exchange between the Forest Service and a family which inadvertently made improvements on a parcel of Forest Service/Wilderness land. Once removed from Wilderness designation, the Small Tracts Act will permit an administrative exchange of land. This bill was approved by a voice vote in both the subcommittee and full committee, and the Department of Agriculture has recommended its approval.
