on a competitive basis. If another
member of the public is selected as the
highest bidder and fails to submit
payment within 180 days of the sale, the
parcel may again be offered on a
competitive basis.
The parcel is described as follows:
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Boise Meridian, Idaho
T. 7 N., R. 25 E., section 30, lots 13, 14 and
15.
The area described contains 103.88 acres,
more or less. The market value, not less than
the current fair market value, utilizing
modified competitive bid sale procedures, is
yet to be determined by Department of the
Interior appraisal.
The patent, when issued, will contain
a reservation to the United States for
ditches and canals under the authority
of the United States pursuant to the Act
of August 30, 1890, 26 Stat. 391 (43
U.S.C. 945). No warranty of any kind,
express or implied, is given by the
United States as to title, whether or to
what extent the land may be developed,
its physical condition, future uses, or
any other circumstance or condition.
The conveyance of the parcel will not be
on a contingency basis. However, to the
extent required by law, the parcel is
subject to the requirements of section
120(h) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act, (42 U.S.C. 9620(h))
(CERCLA), as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1988,
(100 Stat. 1670). Notice is hereby given
that the above-described lands have
been examined and no evidence was
found to indicate any hazardous
substances had been stored for one year
or more, nor had any hazardous
substances been disposed of or released
on the subject property.
A mineral potential report will be
completed by the BLM prior to the
execution of the sale. If the report
concludes the subject parcel contains
minerals of value they shall be reserved
to the United States. If the report
determines the subject parcel contains
no known mineral values, mineral
interests will be conveyed
simultaneously with the surface. A
separate non-refundable filing fee of
$50.00 is required from the purchaser
for the conveyance of the mineral
interest.
Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, the land described
above will be segregated from
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the general mining laws.
The segregation will end upon issuance
of patent or other documents of
conveyance for such lands, upon
publication in the Federal Register of a

realty action will become the final
determination of the Department of the
Interior. The land will not be offered for
sale until at least 60 days after the date
of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register. The BLM may accept
or reject any or all offers, or withdraw
any land or interest in the land from
sale, if, in the opinion of the authorized
officer, consummation of the sale would
not be fully consistent with FLPMA, or
other applicable laws.

The BLM petition/application has been
approved by the Assistant Secretary of the

The purpose of the withdrawal would be
to protect the scenic, recreation, water
quality, and wildlife habitat values on the

lands newly acquired in the Emerald
Mountain Land Exchange and achieve the
management objectives of the BLM Little
Snake Field Office Resource Management
Plan Amendment.
The use of a right-of-way, an interagency
or cooperative agreement would not
adequately constrain non-discretionary uses
that could irrevocably affect the resource
values of the described lands.
There are no suitable alternative sites, as
the described lands contain the resource
values that need protection.
No water rights would be needed to fulfill
the purpose of the requested withdrawal.
The potential for mineral development on
the described lands is low.
Records relating to the proposed
withdrawal can be examined by contacting
John Beck at the above address or phone
number.
For a period of 90 days from the date of
publication of this notice, all persons who
wish to submit comments, suggestions, or
objections in connection with the proposed
withdrawal may present their views in
writing to the BLM Colorado State Director
at the address listed above.
Comments, including names and street
addresses of respondents, will be available
for public review at the BLM Colorado State
Office at the address listed during regular
business hours, 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except holidays.
Individual respondents may request
confidentiality. 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
made publicly available at any time. While
you can 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.
Notice is hereby given that an opportunity
for a public meeting is afforded in connection
with the proposed withdrawal. All interested
persons who desire a public meeting for the
purpose of being heard on the proposed
withdrawal must submit a written request to
the BLM Colorado State Director at the
address listed above within 90 days from the
date of publication of this notice. If the
authorized officer determines a public
meeting will be held, a notice of the time and
place will be published in the Federal
Register and a local newspaper at least 30
days before the scheduled date of the
meeting.
Licenses, permits, cooperative agreements,
and other discretionary land use
authorizations may be allowed with the
approval of an authorized officer of the BLM
during the segregative period.
This withdrawal proposal will be
processed in accordance with the regulations
set forth in 43 CFR 2300.
For a period of 2 years from the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, the lands will be segregated as
specified above unless the application is
denied or cancelled or the withdrawal is
approved prior to that date.

MMS
prepares SEAs and FONSIs for
proposals that relate to exploration for
and the development/production of oil
and gas resources on the Gulf of Mexico
OCS. These SEAs examine the potential
environmental effects of activities
described in the proposals and present
MMS conclusions regarding the
significance of those effects.
Environmental Assessments are used as
a basis for determining whether or not
approval of the proposals constitutes
major Federal actions that significantly
affect the quality of the human
environment in the sense of NEPA
Section 102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared
in those instances where MMS finds
that approval will not result in
significant effects on the quality of the
human environment. The FONSI briefly
presents the basis for that finding and
includes a summary or copy of the SEA.
This notice constitutes the public
notice of availability of environmental
documents required under the NEPA
Regulations.
This listing includes all proposals for
which the Gulf of Mexico OCS Region
prepared a FONSI in the period
subsequent to publication of the
preceding notice.

The areas described aggregate 4,138.52 acres, more or less, in
Routt County according to U.S. Government Survey and James B.
Ackerman, R.L.S. 16394, of Emerald Mountain Surveys, Inc.,
Steamboat Springs, CO 80477.
The BLM petition/application has been approved by the Assistant
Secretary of the Interior. Therefore it constitutes a withdrawal
proposal of the Secretary of the Interior (43 CFR 2310.1-3(e)).
The purpose of the withdrawal would be to protect the scenic,
recreation, water quality, and wildlife habitat values on the
[[Page 28992]]
lands newly acquired in the Emerald Mountain Land Exchange and
achieve the management objectives of the BLM Little Snake Field
Office Resource Management Plan Amendment.
The use of a right-of-way, an interagency or cooperative
agreement would not adequately constrain non-discretionary uses that
could irrevocably affect the resource values of the described lands.
There are no suitable alternative sites, as the described lands
contain the resource values that need protection.
No water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal.
The potential for mineral development on the described lands is
low.
Records relating to the proposed withdrawal can be examined by
contacting John Beck at the above address or phone number.
For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this
notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or
objections in connection with the proposed withdrawal may present
their views in writing to the BLM Colorado State Director at the
address listed above.
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents,
will be available for public review at the BLM Colorado State Office
at the address listed during regular business hours, 7:45 a.m. to
4:15 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. Individual
respondents may request confidentiality. 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
made publicly available at any time. While you can 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.
Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting
is afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal. All
interested persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of
being heard on the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request
to the BLM Colorado State Director at the address listed above
within 90 days from the date of publication of this notice. If the
authorized officer determines a public meeting will be held, a
notice of the time and place will be published in the Federal
Register and a local newspaper at least 30 days before the scheduled
date of the meeting.
Licenses, permits, cooperative agreements, and other
discretionary land use authorizations may be allowed with the
approval of an authorized officer of the BLM during the segregative
period.
This withdrawal proposal will be processed in accordance with
the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2300.
For a period of 2 years from the date of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register, the lands will be segregated as
specified above unless the application is denied or cancelled or the
withdrawal is approved prior to that date.
