ACTION: Notice of Realty Action. SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to offer one parcel of public land of approximately 628.2 acres in northern Lyon County by competitive sale at not less than the fair market value (FMV).

DATES: Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the proposed sale of public land until January 15, 2010. The proposed sale date is to be announced and it will not be before February 1, 2010. ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to BLM Field Manager, Sierra Front Field Office, Carson City District Office, 5665 Morgan Mill Road, Carson City, NV 89701. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J.

The area described contains 628.2 acres, more or less, in Lyon County. An appraisal report will be prepared by a State certified appraiser for the purposes of establishing FMV. Other terms and conditions specific to the competitive sale process, this parcel, and the FMV will be published in the marketing brochure and in advertisements when the land is offered for sale. The public land is not required for any Federal purpose. This public sale is in conformance with the 2001 BLM Carson City Consolidated Resource Management Plan approved May 9, 2001.
