Notice of Realty Action: Proposed Non-Competitive (Direct) Sale 
of Public Land in Carbon County, UT

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing a non-
competitive (direct) sale of 280 acres of public land in Carbon County, 
Utah, to Hunt Consolidated, Inc., under the provisions of the Federal 
Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as amended, at not less 
than the fair market value of $196,000.

DATES: Comments regarding the proposed sale must be received by the BLM 
on or before October 3, 2014. The land will not be offered for sale 
until at least 60 days after publication of this notice.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments concerning this notice to the BLM 
Price Field Office, Attn: Patricia A. Clabaugh, 125 South 600 West, 
Price, UT 84501.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Connie Leschin, Realty Specialist, 
435-636-3610, at the above address or email to cleschin@blm.gov. 
Persons who use a telecommunication device for the deaf (TDD) may call 
the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to leave 
a message or question for the above individual. The FIRS is available 
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Replies are provided during normal 
business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public lands in 
Carbon County, Utah, are proposed for direct sale, subject to the 
applicable provisions of Sections 203 and 209 of FLPMA and 43 CFR parts 
2711 and 2720:

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah

T. 14 S., R. 15 E.,
    Sec. 8, SE1/4SE1/4;
    Sec. 28, E1/2NE1/4;
    Sec. 33, SE1/4SW1/4, N1/2SE1/4 and SW1/4SE1/4.

    The areas described aggregate 280 acres.

    These parcels are small isolated tracts that are difficult to 
manage as they are surrounded entirely by land owned by Hunt 
Consolidated, Inc. The proposed sale is in conformance with the BLM 
Price Field Office Resource Management Plan, approved in October 2008, 
which has designated the parcels for disposal. The BLM will offer the 
lands to Hunt Consolidated, Inc., on a non-competitive basis pursuant 
to 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a)(4) because the ownership pattern adjoining the 
parcels indicates that a direct sale would be appropriate. The lands 
are not suitable for management by other Federal agencies. A mineral 
report concluded that the parcels have known mineral values; therefore, 
the mineral estate will be reserved to the United States pursuant to 43 
CFR 2720.0-6. Conveyance of the identified public land would be subject 
to valid existing rights of record and the following terms, conditions, 
and reservations:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. A reservation of all minerals to the United States, and the 
right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals under applicable 
law and any regulations that the Secretary of the Interior may 
prescribe, including all necessary access and exit rights.
    On February 5, 2013, the lands were segregated from the public land 
laws, including the mining laws, except for the sale provisions of 
FLPMA (78 FR 8188). Detailed information concerning the proposed land 
sale including the appraisal report, environmental assessment, and 
mineral report are available for review at the BLM Price Field Office.
    Public comments regarding the proposed sale may be submitted in 
writing to the Field Manager (see the ADDRESSES Section) on or before 
October 3, 2014. Email will also be accepted and should be sent to: 
BLM_UT_PR_Comments@blm.gov with ``Public Land Sale'' inserted in the 
subject line. Any comments regarding the proposed sale will be reviewed 
by the BLM State Director or other authorized official of the 
Department of the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this 
realty action in whole or in part. In the absence of timely filed 
objections, this realty action will become the final determination of 
the Department of the Interior not less than 60 days after August 19, 
2014.
    Before including your address, telephone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information 
from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

    Authority:  43 CFR parts 2710, 2711 and 2720.

Jenna Whitlock,
Associate State Director.
