George, Utah have been examined and found suitable for lease or
conveyance to Washington County under the provisions of the Recreation
and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.):

T. 42 S., R. 14 W., sec. 3, lots 6, 7, 9-11, 18, and 20;
Containing 248.58 acres.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Washington County proposes to use the land
for a horse race track, fairgrounds and associated facilities. The
lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Lease or conveyance is not
consistent with current BLM land use planning, so a notice of a plan
amendment is running concurrently with this notice. Any comments
received regarding the proposed plan amendment, will be considered and
a decision made as to whether the plan will be amended to allow this
action. No action will be taken to lease the described land until the
Virgin River Management Framework Plan has been amended to allow this
action. No comments were received when the Notice to Intent to Amend
the Virgin River MFP was published.
The lease/patent, when issued, would 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.
[[Page 42902]]
3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
4. Those rights for power transmission line purposes granted to
Pacificorp and Hurricane City by rights-of-way No. U-0140800 and U-
71166.
5. Those rights for natural gas pipeline purposes granted to
Mountain Fuel Supply Company by rights-of-way No. U-62308 and U-71320.
6. Those rights for a water treatment facility and water pipeline
granted to St. George City by right-of-way U-60051.
Detailed information concerning this action is available for review
at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Dixie Resource Area
Office, 345 E. Riverside Drive, St. George, Utah 84770.
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, interested persons may submit comments
regarding the proposed lease/conveyance or classification of the lands
at the Area Manager, Dixie Resource Area Office. 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.
James D. Crisp,
Area Manager.
