SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On June 9, 2004, East Bay Group filed an application for a Disclaimer of Interest pursuant to Section 315 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1745), and the regulations contained in 43 CFR Subpart 1864. Based on the BLM Arizona State Office's review of the official survey records on file, the Federal Government has no interest in lands that have lawfully accreted to the northerly side of lots 3 and 5, in sec. 33 of T. 11 N., R. 18 W., Gila and Salt River Meridian, La Paz County, Arizona. In addition, the Bureau of Reclamation, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Corps of Engineers have also reviewed and concurred that they have no Federal interest in the accreted lands.

All persons who wish to present comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the pending application and proposed disclaimer may do so by writing to Julie A. Decker, Group Administrator, Lands, Recreation, and Planning, at the above mentioned address. Comments, including names and street addresses of commentors, will be available for public review at the Arizona State Office (see address above), during regular business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. local time), Monday through Friday, except holidays. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment, including your personal identifying information, may be publicly available at any time. While you may ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Anonymous comments will not be accepted. If no valid objection is received, this action will be approved and will clear a cloud on the title of East Bay Group's 8.14 acres of land.

Authority: 43 CFR 1864.2(a)).
