ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The following public lands in Beaverhead County, Montana, have
been examined and found suitable for classification for lease or
conveyance to the State of Montana under the provisions of the
Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.).
The State of Montana proposes to use the lands for inclusion into the
Bannack State Park and Historical Area.
Principal Meridian Montana
T. 8 S., R. 11 W.,

Sec. 6, Lots 1-9, 11, S2NE, SENW,
Sec. 7, Lots 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 17, N2NESW, N2NWNWSE,

T. 8 S., R. 12 W.,
Sec. 1, Lot 6,
Sec. 12, E2NE,
Containing 958.24 acres more or less.
The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Lease and/or
conveyance is consistent with current BLM land use planning and would
be in the public interest. A lease will be issued for those lands which
may be encumbered. For those lands which are not encumbered or become
unencumbered, a patent will be issued. The lease or patent, when
issued, will be subject to the following terms, conditions and
reservations:
1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and to all
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
2. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the
authority of the United States.
3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together
with the right to prospect for, mine and remove the minerals.
4. The lands will be conveyed subject to all valid, existing rights
(e.g., rights-of-way, easements and leases of record).
Furthermore, the decision is to revoke Executive Order dated April
15, 1930, insofar as it affects 958.24 acres of public land withdrawn
for Oil-Shale Deposits under the authority of the act of Congress
approved June 25, 1910 (36 Stat. 847), as amended by the act of August
24, 1912 (57 Stat. 497), and to revoke Public Land Order 5739 dated
July 22, 1980, in its entirety insofar as it affects 305 acres of
public land withdrawn under the authority of Section 204 of the Federal
Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (90 Stat. 2751; 43
U.S.C. 1714).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Detailed information concerning this
action is available for review at the office of the Bureau of Land
Management, Dillon Resource Area, 1005 Selway Drive, Dillon, Montana

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, the lands will be segregated from all other forms of
appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining
laws, except for lease or conveyance under the Recreation and Public
Purposes Act and leasing under the mineral leasing laws. For a period
of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, interested persons may submit comments regarding the

revocation of existing withdrawals to the District Manager, Butte
District Office, 106 North Parkmont, Box 3388, Butte, Montana 59702-
3388.
CLASSIFICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments
involving the suitability of the land for a State Park. Comments on the
classification are restricted to whether the land is physically suited
for the proposal, whether the use will maximize the future use or uses
of the land, whether the use is consistent with local planning and
zoning, or if the use is consistent with State and Federal programs.
APPLICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments regarding
the specific use proposed in the application and plan of development,
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching
the decision, or any other factor not directly related to the
suitability of the land for a State Park.
Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become
effective 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
