DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

[NV-930-1430-01; N-62920]
Notice of Realty Action; Direct Sale; Nevada
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The following land in Elko County, Nevada has been examined
and identified as suitable for disposal by direct sale, including the
mineral estate, under Section 203 and Section 209 of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713
and 1719) at no less than fair market value as determined by an
appraisal:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 37 N., R. 59 E., Section 26, E\1/2\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\.
Comprising 5.0 acres, more or less.
The above described land is being offered as a direct sale to the
Nevada Department of Transportation. The land will not be offered for
sale until at least 60 days after the date of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Detailed information concerning this
action is available for review at the Bureau of Land Management, Elko
Field Office, 3900 E. Idaho Street, Elko, Nevada 89801.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed action is consistent with the
objectives of the Elko RMP and are consistent with Federal, State, and
local laws, regulations, and plans to the maximum extent possible. The
land is not needed for any resource program and is not suitable for
management by the Bureau or another Federal department or agency. The
proposal has been reviewed by the Elko County Planning Commission.
The land has no known value for minerals. Therefore, the mineral
estate, will be conveyed simultaneously with the sale of the surface
estate. Acceptance of the sale offer will constitute an application to
purchase the mineral estate. A non-refundable mineral estate fee of
$50.00 will be required along with the purchase money. Failure to
submit the purchase money and the non-refundable filing fee for the
mineral estate within the time frame specified by the authorized
officer will result in cancellation of the sale.
The subject lands have been previously segregated from
appropriation under the public land laws and mineral laws on behalf of
the Western Resource Management Land Exchange (N-59405). A decision,
based on the Environmental Assessment (BLM/EK/PL-99/008), determined
that the direct sale to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT)
best serves the interest of the public rather than to dispose of the
parcel through a land exchange. This action will not adversely impact
the exchange. The segregative effect by the Western Resource Management
Land Exchange (N-59405) is hereby terminated for the subject parcel
described above. The termination will be effective at 9 a.m., 30 days
after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Upon publication of this Notice of Realty Action in the Federal
Register, the subject lands will be segregated from all forms of
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws,
but not the mineral leasing laws or disposals pursuant to Sections 203
and 209 of FLPMA. The segregation shall terminate upon issuance of a
patent or other document of conveyance, upon publication in the Federal
Register of a Notice of Termination of Segregation, or 270 days from
date of this publication, which ever occurs first.
The patent, when issued, will contain the following reservations to
the United States:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890, (43 U.S.C.
945).
The rights granted by the existing highway right-of-way (Nev-
061282) and material site right-of-way (Nev-059247), both held by
(NDOT), will merge with title to the land upon issuance of patent and
therefore, no reservation of these rights will be made.
For a period of 45 days from the date of publication in the Federal
Register, interested parties may submit comments to the Bureau of Land
Management, Elko Field Office, 3900 Idaho Street, Elko, Nevada 89801.
Any adverse comments will be evaluated by the State Director, who may
sustain, vacate or modify this realty action and issue a final
determination. In the absence of timely filed objections, this realty
action will become a final determination of the Department of the
Interior.
Dated: January 12, 1999.

Field Manager.
