    Notice of Realty Action for Proposed Agricultural Lease of Public 
    Lands, Nevada
    
    AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
    
    ACTION: The conversion of an existing Agricultural Land Use Permit to 
    an Agricultural Lease.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        The proposed action is in conformance with the Paradise-Denio 
    Management Framework Plan, dated July 9, 1982.
        The public lands proposed for leasing under provisions of section 
    302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 and 
    43 CFR Part 2920 are described as follows:
    
    Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
    
    T. 36 N., R. 34 E.,
        Sec. 20: W\1/2\W\1/2\, S\1/2\SE\1/4\;
        Sec. 28: W\1/2\W\1/2\, S\1/2\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, S\1/2\SE\1/4\SE\1/
    4\;
        Sec. 30: Lot 1, N\1/2\N\1/2\NE\1/4\, N\1/2\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\;
        Sec. 32: Lots 2 and 3;
        Sec. 34: W\1/2\NW\1/4\.
    
        The proposal would encumber 123 acres of public 
    land.
    
        The public lands affected by the proposed lease are adjacent to 
    Crawford Farms, north of Jungo Road, approximately 25 miles west of 
    Winnemucca, Nevada on the west side of Blue Mountain. The lands are 
    currently under cultivation, so no additional surface disturbance of 
    the area would occur as a result of this lease.
        No other proposals will be accepted. The affected parcels are 
    currently being farmed by the applicant. The proposed lease would be 
    issued in order to convert an existing Agricultural Land Use Permit to 
    an Agricultural Lease. The original land use permit was issued to 
    resolve an unintentional trespass, that was discovered when a dependent 
    resurvey of township was completed. Use of the parcels by the applicant 
    has been permitted since 1993. The proposed lease would be in effect 
    until a determination is made by the Bureau of Land Management on 
    whether it is in the public's interests to sell the lands to the 
    applicant for agricultural purposes, or terminate the agricultural use 
    of the public lands. Therefore, no other proposals would be acceptable.
        The proposal would be authorized by a lease for a term of 10 years. 
    The lease could be renewed at the discretion of the authorized officer.
        Fair annual rental has been determined to be $1,200.00 per year. 
    The rental determination was made, by appraisal completed on October 9, 
    1998, and approved by the BLM Nevada Chief, State Appraiser on October 
    15, 1998. The rental will be subject to review and adjustment every 
    five (5) years to reflect the current fair market value.
        The United States shall reserve the right to issue compatible 
    rights-of-way or use permits over the leased lands. Such uses, however, 
    shall not unduly impair the use of the lands for authorized purposes 
    nor damage authorized improvements therein. The United States shall 
    also reserve all of the coal, oil, gas, and other mineral deposits in 
    the leased land together with the right to enter upon and prospect for, 
    mine, and remove such minerals. The proposed lease would be issued 
    subject to valid existing rights, easements, and rights-of-way of 
    record.
        For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this Notice 
    in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments to the 
    Field Manager, Winnemucca Field Office, 5100 E. Winnemucca Boulevard, 
    Winnemucca, Nevada 89445. In the absence of adverse comments, an 
    application for the proposed use will be processed in accordance with 
    proper application procedures.
