land be taken into trust and
subsequently, two casinos, two hotels,
parking and other facilities supporting
the casinos be constructed on the
proposed trust acquisition property. The
subject property is located within the
incorporated boundaries of the City of
Barstow, San Bernardino County,
California, just east of Interstate 15.
State Highways 58 and 247 and
Interstate 40 are located nearby.
The site is predominantly
undeveloped, bounded on the north by
Mercantile Way, on the west by
Lenwood Road and commercial/light
industrial development, on the south by
vacant Bureau of Land Management
land and on the east by vacant land. The
proposed project is to develop two
adjacent casinos of approximately
49,000 square feet each. Associated
facilities which would be constructed
include food and beverage services,
retail space, banquet/meeting space and
administration space. Food and
beverage facilities would include two
full service restaurants, two food courts
of four venues each, two coffee shops
and two lounge bars. Two five-story
hotels, each having approximately 100
rooms, would also be constructed.
Approximately 3,900 parking spaces
would be provided, of which about onefourth would be in two equally sized
garages. Regional access to the project
site is via Interstate 15 and State
Highway 247. Lenwood Road and
Mercantile Way would provide direct
access to the proposed casino resort.
Areas of environmental concern to be
addressed in the EIS include land
resources, water resources, biological
resources, cultural resources, traffic and
transportation, noise, air quality, public
health/environmental hazards, public
services and utilities, hazardous waste
and materials, socio-economics,
environmental justice and visual
resources/aesthetics. In addition to the
proposed action, a reasonable range of
alternatives, including the no-action
alternative, will be analyzed in the EIS.
Other possible alternatives currently
under consideration are two reducedintensity alternatives and two alternate
sites. The range of issues and
alternatives may be expanded based on
comments received during the scoping
process.

auction. Internet auction procedures
will be available at https://

at future oral and online Internet
auctions without additional legal notice.
Upon publication of this Notice and
until the completion of the sale, the
BLM is no longer accepting land use
applications affecting any parcel
identified for sale, including parcels
that have been published in a previous
NORA. However, land use applications
may be considered after completion of
the sale for parcels that are not sold
through oral or online Internet auction
procedures provided the authorization
will not adversely affect the
marketability or value of the parcel.
In order to determine the value,
through appraisal, of the parcels of land
proposed to be sold, certain
extraordinary assumptions may have
been made of the attributes and
limitations of the lands and potential
effects of local regulations and policies
on potential future land uses. Through
publication of this Notice, the Bureau of
Land Management gives notice that
these assumptions may not be endorsed
or approved by units of local
government. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to be aware of all
applicable Federal, state, and local
government laws, regulations and
policies that may affect the subject
lands, including any required
dedication of lands for public uses. It is
also the buyer’s responsibility to be
aware of existing or projected use of
nearby properties. When conveyed out
of Federal ownership, the lands will be
subject to any applicable laws,
regulations, and policies of the
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
20129
applicable local government for
proposed future uses. It will be the
responsibility of the purchaser to be
aware of those laws regulations, and
policies, and to seek any required local
approvals pursuant to them. Buyers
should also make themselves aware of
any Federal or state law or regulations
that may impact the future use of the
property. Any land lacking access from
a public road or highway will be
conveyed as such, and future access
acquisition will be the responsibility of
the buyer.

SNPLMA parcels proposed for sale were
analyzed in an Environmental Impact

sale, which tiers to the EIS, has also
been prepared for public review and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
investigation was instituted on October
26, 2005, based on a complaint filed by
Symbol Technologies Inc. (‘‘Symbol’’) of
Holtsville, New York. The complaint
alleges violations of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in
the importation into the United States,
the sale for importation, and the sale
within the United States after
importation of certain laser bar code
scanners or scan engines, components
thereof, or products containing the same
by reason of infringement of various
claims of United States Patent Nos.
5,457,308 (‘‘the ’308 patent’’), 5,545,889
(‘‘the ‘889 patent’’), 6,220,514 (‘‘the ’514
patent’’), 5,262,627, and 5,917,173. 70
FR 61841 (Oct. 26, 2006). The complaint
named two respondents: Metro
Technologies Co., Ltd. of Suzhou,
China, and Metrologic Instruments, Inc.
of Blackwood, New Jersey (collectively,
‘‘Metrologic’’).
On March 9, 2006, Symbol filed a
motion for leave to amend the
complaint and notice of investigation to
add claims 10 and 11 of the ’308 patent,
claims 8 and 11 of the ’889 patent, and
claims 3, 7, 9, and 10 of the ’514 patent.
Metrologic filed an opposition to
Symbol’s motion, asserting that Symbol
failed to show good cause for its
amendment and that Metrologic would
be unduly prejudiced by an amendment
to the complaint just one month before
the close of discovery. The Commission
investigative attorney supported
Symbol’s motion.
On March 22, 2006, the ALJ issued an
ID (Order No. 9) granting Symbol’s
motion to amend the complaint and
notice of investigation. The ALJ found
that, pursuant to Commission Rule
210.14(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.14(b)(1)), there
was good cause to add claims 10 and 11
of the ’308 patent, claims 8 and 11 of the
’889 patent, and claims 3, 7, 9, and 10
of the ’514 patent to the complaint and
notice of investigation. The ALJ found
that Symbol had obtained new

In addition to the lands described herein, other parcels that have

this sale.
Minerals of no known locatable value will be conveyed with the
following eleven parcels: BLM case file serial numbers N-79508, N-80683
through N-80685, N-80687 through N-80691, N-80715, N-80730. These case
files are located at the BLM Las Vegas Field Office. An offer to

Additional Information
If not sold, any parcel described above in this Notice may be
identified for sale at a later date without further legal notice.
Unsold parcels may be offered for sale in a future online Internet
auction. Internet auction procedures will be available at https://
www.auctionrp.com. If unsold on the Internet, parcels may be put up for
sale at future oral and online Internet auctions without additional
legal notice. Upon publication of this Notice and until the completion
of the sale, the BLM is no longer accepting land use applications
affecting any parcel identified for sale, including parcels that have
been published in a previous NORA. However, land use applications may
be considered after completion of the sale for parcels that are not
sold through oral or online Internet auction procedures provided the
authorization will not adversely affect the marketability or value of
the parcel.
In order to determine the value, through appraisal, of the parcels
of land proposed to be sold, certain extraordinary assumptions may have
been made of the attributes and limitations of the lands and potential
effects of local regulations and policies on potential future land
uses. Through publication of this Notice, the Bureau of Land Management
gives notice that these assumptions may not be endorsed or approved by
units of local government. It is the buyer's responsibility to be aware
of all applicable Federal, state, and local government laws,
regulations and policies that may affect the subject lands, including
any required dedication of lands for public uses. It is also the
buyer's responsibility to be aware of existing or projected use of
nearby properties. When conveyed out of Federal ownership, the lands
will be subject to any applicable laws, regulations, and policies of
the applicable local government for proposed future uses. It will be
the responsibility of the purchaser to be aware of those laws
regulations, and policies, and to seek any required local approvals
pursuant to them. Buyers should also make themselves aware of any
Federal or state law or regulations that may impact the future use of
the property. Any land lacking access from a public road or highway
will be conveyed as such, and future access acquisition will be the
responsibility of the buyer.
Environmental Assessment. The SNPLMA parcels proposed for sale were
analyzed in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), entitled ``Las
Vegas Land Disposal Boundary EIS'', approved December 23, 2004. This
EIS is available for public review at the BLM LVFO. An Environmental
Assessment (EA) for this sale, which tiers to the EIS, has also been
prepared for public review and comment at the BLM LVFO. BLM will be
accepting public comment on the EA during the time for comment on the
proposed sale up to June 5, 2006.
Other information concerning the sale, including the appraisals,
reservations, sale procedures and conditions, CERCLA and other
environmental documents will be available for review at the BLM LVFO,
or by calling (702) 515-5000 and asking to speak to a member of the
Sales Team. Most of this information also will be available on the
Internet at https://propertydisposal.gsa.gov.
Public Comments: The general public and interested parties may
submit comments regarding the proposed sale to the Field Manager, BLM
LVFO, up to 45 days after publication of this Notice in the Federal

of the Department of the Interior who may sustain, vacate, or modify
this realty action in whole or in part, if applicable. Any comments
received during this process, as well as the name and address of the
commenter, will be available to the public in the administrative record

(Authority: 43 C.F.R. 2711.1-2(a) and (c))
Termination of Portions of R&PP Classification--SNPLMA Withdrawal
A portion of the following lease granted under the Recreation and
Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, 43 U.S.C. 869 et. seq.) has been
relinquished: N-63336 (68FR47929). The Notice officially terminates the
R&PP classification and segregation of a portion of that parcel. A
portion of R&PP application, N-78724 has been withdrawn by the
applicant. This notice serves to inform you that land previously leased
and previously requested for R&PP purposes is no longer required and is
now part of this sale. It does not serve as an opening order because
those parcels are within the disposal boundary set by Congress in
SNPLMA. Pursuant to section 4(c) of SNPLMA, these parcels are
withdrawn, subject to valid existing rights, from entry and
appropriation under the public land laws, location and entry under the
mining laws and from operation under the mineral leasing and geothermal
leasing laws, until such time as the Secretary of the Interior
terminates the withdrawal or the lands are conveyed.
Dated: March 15, 2006.

Field Manager.
