302 (b) of The Federal Land Policy
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C.
1732 (b)), and the implementing
regulations at 43 CFR part 2920, as
amended. This action will resolve an
historic encroachment occurring on
public lands. The encroachment dating
back to on or before 1976 was originally
attributed to parties from whom TNC
purchased property (adjacent to the
subject parcels) in 2003. Rent for the use
was determined by Department of the
Interior appraisal to be BLM minimum
annual lease fee of $250.00. Rent may be
re-appraised annually, or at an interval
not to exceed every 5 years to remain
consistent with market trends.

Comments must be received by not later

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
following described public land in
Custer and Lemhi Counties, Idaho has
been determined to be suitable for lease
for the purpose of agricultural harvest
(alfalfa hay). The BLM has determined
that resource values will not be affected
by the leasing of this parcel of public
land. The proposed action complies
with the BLM Challis Resource
Management Plan (RMP) (1999).
Compliance can be found under:
Decision Land Tenure and Access under
Goal 4 (Eliminate unauthorized use of
public lands). As provided in 43 CFR
2920.5–4(b), land use authorizations
may be offered on a negotiated, non-

competitive basis, when, in the
judgment of the authorized officer,
equities, such as prior use of the lands,
exist; if no competitive interest exists;
or, where competitive bidding would
represent unfair competitive and
economic disadvantage to the originator
of the unique land use concept that is
compatible with the public interest.
Based on past use of the subject parcels
in the form of alfalfa hay cultivation, it
is the authorized officer’s discretion to
offer the proposed agricultural on a noncompetitive basis. Furthermore, it is the
authorized officer’s decision to offer the
proposed agricultural lease to The
Nature Conservancy on a noncompetitive basis because an
improvement consisting of a portion of
an irrigation pivot owned by TNC exists
on the public land in support of hay
production. Because of these points, it
is the opinion of the authorized officer
no competitive interests exist, or
competitive bidding would represent
unfair competitive and economic
disadvantage to TNC.
Therefore, the BLM will accept for
processing, an application to be filed by
The Nature Conservancy, or its duly
qualified designee, for a noncompetitive lease of the above described
lands, to be used, occupied, and
developed as stated above. The noncompetitive bid shall not be for less
than fair market value. That is to say,
rental value which has been based on
the fair market value of the land, is
acceptable to the BLM after taking into
account a current, independent
appraisal of, among other
considerations, the highest and best use
of the lands. The BLM will estimate the
costs of processing the lease application.
Before the BLM begins to process the
application, the lease applicant must
pay the full amount of the estimated
costs to the United States. If a lease is
not granted, the lease applicant must
pay to the United States, in addition to
the estimated costs, the reasonable costs
incurred by the BLM in processing the
lease in excess of the estimated costs.
Rent has been determined by the BLM.
If and when a lease is granted, rent must
be made paid annually or otherwise in
advance, and periodically thereafter. If a
lease is granted, the lessee shall
reimburse the United States for all
reasonable administrative and other
costs incurred by the United States in
processing the lease application and for
monitoring construction, operation,
maintenance and rehabilitation of the
land and facilities authorized. The
reimbursement of costs shall be in
accordance with the provisions of 43
CFR 2920.6.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

The lease application must include a
reference to this notice and comply in
all respects with the regulations
pertaining to land use authorization
applications at 43 CFR 2920.5–2 and
2920.5–5(b).
If authorized, the lease would be
subject to provisions of the Federal
Land Policy Management Act of 1976,
and all applicable regulations of the
Secretary of the Interior, including but
not limited to 43 CFR part 2920, and to
valid existing rights.
The parcels are described as follows:
Boise Meridian
T. 15 N., R. 21 E., sec. 22, (contained within)
NE1⁄4NW1⁄4 and NW1⁄4SE1⁄4NW1⁄4; sec.
28, (contained within) NW1⁄4NE1⁄4.
The areas described contain 9.6 acres, more
or less, in Custer and Lemhi Counties.
The United States (Lessor) shall
reserve all leasable, locatable, and
salable mineral resources and deposits
in the subject parcel together with the
right to prospect for, mine, and remove
the same under applicable laws and
regulations. The lease, when issued,
will contain a covenant requiring TNC
assign in the name of the Lessor that
amount of water applied to the subject
parcel during the use of the subject
parcel by TNC. In the event the
application of water to the public land
ceases, this assignment shall terminate
and full water right shall revert back to
the sole ownership of TNC.
Comments must be received by the
BLM Challis Field Manager at the
