Under certain conditions, Section 209(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1719 (FLPMA) authorizes the sale and conveyance of the federallyowned mineral interests in land to the surface owner or prospective surface owner when the non-mineral (or socalled surface interest in land) is not federally-owned. The objective is to allow consolidation of the surface and mineral interests when either one of the following conditions exist: (1) There are no known mineral values in the land; or (2) where continued Federal ownership of the mineral interests interferes with or precludes appropriate non-mineral PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 21037 development and such development is a more beneficial use of the land than mineral development. An application was filed for the sale and conveyance of the federally-owned mineral interests in the above-described tract of land. Subject to valid existing rights, on April 22, 2010 the federallyowned mineral interests in the lands described above are hereby segregated from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, while the application is being processed to determine if either one of the two specified conditions exists and, if so, to otherwise comply with the procedural requirements of 43 CFR part 2720 and Section 2A of FLPMA. The segregative effect shall terminate upon: (1) Issuance of a patent or other document of conveyance as to such mineral interests; (2) final rejection of the application; or (3) December 15, 2010, whichever occurs first. (Authority: 43 CFR 2720.1–1(b)) Comments: Your comments are invited. Please submit all comments in writing to Liz Easley at the address listed above. 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.

The areas described aggregate 9.39 acres in Boulder County. The authority for the sales is Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713) and regulations found at 43 CFR part 2710. The parcels are difficult and uneconomic to manage as part of the public lands and are not required for VerDate Nov<24>2008 18:25 Apr 21, 2010 Jkt 220001 Federal purposes and therefore meet the qualifications for disposal from Federal ownership. The parcels were identified for disposal in the BLM Northeast Colorado Resource Management Plan approved on September 18, 1986. Regulations contained in 43 CFR 2711.3–3 make allowances for direct sales when a competitive sale is inappropriate and when the public interest would be best served by a direct sale, including a need to resolve inadvertent unauthorized use or occupancy of the lands. The fragmented land pattern in Boulder County has resulted in numerous historical trespass situations on public lands. As to the parcels described in this Notice, the BLM has completed a cadastral survey of the public land boundaries to verify the unauthorized uses. In accordance with 43 CFR 2710.0–6(c)(iii) and 43 CFR 2711.3–3(a), the BLM authorized officer finds that the public interest would be best served by resolving the inadvertent, unauthorized use and occupancy of public lands managed by the BLM by direct sales to landowners whose improvements occupy portions of the parcels. Sale of the parcels would assemble them to the respective parties’ private land or improvements, allow them to continue residence in their homes where appropriate, protect their improvements, and resolve inadvertent unauthorized use and occupancy of public lands. The parcels will be disposed of at no less than the appraised FMV. The FMV will be determined by an appraisal using the principles contained in the ‘‘Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions.’’ Proceeds from this sale will be deposited into the Federal Land Disposal Account authorized under Section 206 of the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA), Public Law 106–248, enacted on July 25, 2000. FLTFA provides for the use of revenues from the sale of public lands identified for disposal under land use plans in effect as of the date of enactment (in this case the BLM Colorado Northeast Resource Management Plan dated September 16, 1986). The land will be offered for sale as follows: COC–51328, containing 0.090 acres; $1,500; direct sale to Julia Luckey; COC–51330, containing 0.390 acres; $6,000; direct sale to Steven Johnson; COC–65294, containing 0.530 acres; $11,000; direct sale to Harold Bonertz; COC–65295, containing 2.990 acres; $30,000; direct sale to John and Jean Jandreau; PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 COC–65297, containing 1.610 acres; $30,000; direct sale to Timothy Zienkiewicz; COC–65298, containing 0.390 acres; $8,000; direct sale to Duncan Developments, c/o David Tamminga; COC–65299, containing 0.420 acres; $8,500; direct sale to Leaf and Holly Running Rabbit; COC–69189, containing 0.170 acres; $2,500; direct sale to Philip Rubin; COC–69191, containing 0.440 acres; $11,000; direct sale to Edward and Judy Dawson; COC–69193, containing 0.270 acres; $4,000; direct sale to Robin Black; COC–69205, containing 2.090 acres; $13,600; direct sale to Kraft Building Contractors, c/o Duane Kraft. Federal law requires purchasers to be: Citizens of the United States, 18 years of age or older; corporations, subject to the laws of any State or of the United States; a State, or a State instrumentality or political subdivision authorized to hold property; or an entity legally capable of conveying lands or interests therein under the laws of the State. The purchaser of a parcel will be allowed 30 days from receipt of a written offer from the BLM to submit a deposit of at least 30 percent of the appraised FMV of the parcel, and 180 days thereafter to submit the balance. Payments must be in the form of a certified check, postal money order, bank draft, or cashier’s check made payable in U.S. dollars to the order of the U.S. Department of the Interior—BLM. Personal checks will not be accepted. Failure to meet conditions established for this sale will void the sale and any monies received will be forfeited. If the balance of the purchase price is not received within the 180 days, the deposit shall be forfeited to the United States. If the offer of sale is not accepted or if the balance of the purchase price is not received within the time allowed, the trespasser will be given 180 days to remove the improvements from public land. If the improvements are not removed in a timely manner, the BLM will have the option of taking possession of the improvements and having them removed at the trespasser’s expense. Whether or not the improvements are removed, the parcels will then be offered to either Boulder County in a sale or exchange action, to other adjacent landowners by direct or modified competitive sale, or to the general public through a competitive sale pursuant to current Federal regulations. Any patents issued will contain the following numbered reservations, covenants, terms, and conditions: E:\FR\FM\22APN1.SGM 22APN1 srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 77 / Thursday, April 22, 2010 / Notices (1) A reservation to the United States for a right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945), (2) The parcels will be subject to all valid existing rights of record at the time of conveyance, (3) A reservation of minerals and mineral interests to the United States as to cases COC–65294, COC–65295, COC– 65299, and COC–69205. (4) A notice and indemnification statement under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9620), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1988 (100 Stat. 1670), holding the United States harmless from any release of hazardous materials that may have occurred as a result of any authorized or unauthorized use of the property by other parties, and (5) Additional terms and conditions that the authorized officer deems appropriate to ensure proper land use and protection of the public interest. The mineral report recommends conveyance of any mineral interest pursuant to Section 209 of the FLPMA as to cases COC–51328, COC–51330, COC–65297, COC–65298, COC–69189, COC–69191, COC–69193. No warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, is given by the United States as to the title, physical condition, or potential uses of the parcels of land proposed for sale, and the conveyance will not be on a contingency basis. In order to determine the value, through appraisal, 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 of Realty Action, the BLM 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: (1) All applicable Federal, State, or local government laws, regulations and policies that may affect the subject parcels or its future uses, and (2) existing or prospective uses 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 for future uses. Buyers should also make themselves aware of any Federal or State law or regulation that VerDate Nov<24>2008 18:25 Apr 21, 2010 Jkt 220001 may impact the future use of the property. If any parcel lacks access from a public road or highway, it will be conveyed as such, and future access acquisition will be the responsibility of the buyer.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a temporary road closure to public access, use, or occupancy is in effect on public lands administered by the Burns District Office, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), in the Cave Gulch area, approximately 11 miles northwest of Burns, in Harney County, Oregon. DATES: This temporary road closure became effective following the area’s big game hunting season, December 1, 2009, and will continue until the treated areas meet the criteria identified in the Categorical Exclusion (DOI–BLM–OR– B050–2010–0004–CX). ADDRESSES: The Burns District Office address is 28910 Hwy 20 West, Hines, Oregon 97738. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Roy, Three Rivers Resource Area Field Manager, at the address above or by phone at (541) 573–4425. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This temporary road closure to public access affects public lands in the Cave Gulch area. The public lands affected by the closure are as described as follows: Willamette Meridian, Oregon T. 21 S., R. 30 E., Sec 29 SW1⁄4NW1⁄4 and W1⁄2SW1⁄4; Sec 30 E1⁄2; Sec 32 N1⁄2NW1⁄4. Containing 538 acres in Harney County During the summer of 2009, unauthorized levels of surface disturbance occurred along some roads and two-track roads in the area of Cave Gulch. As a result, the BLM took immediate action to reduce erosion and to prevent or reduce the levels of noxious and invasive weed establishment in the bare-ground areas that were created. The BLM closed the roads to motorized vehicles to facilitate successful stabilization. The BLM posted signs at main entry points to the temporary closure area. Maps of the closed roads and information may be obtained from the Burns District Office, 28910 Hwy 20 West, Hines, Oregon 97738.

Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713) 
and regulations found at 43 CFR part 2710. The parcels are difficult 
and uneconomic to manage as part of the public lands and are not 
required for Federal purposes and therefore meet the qualifications for 
disposal from Federal ownership. The parcels were identified for

3 make allowances for direct sales when a competitive sale is 
inappropriate and when the public interest would be best served by a 
direct sale, including a need to resolve inadvertent unauthorized use 
or occupancy of the lands. The fragmented land pattern in Boulder 
County has resulted in numerous historical trespass situations on 
public lands. As to the parcels described in this Notice, the BLM has 
completed a cadastral survey of the public land boundaries to verify 
the unauthorized uses. In accordance with 43 CFR 2710.0-6(c)(iii) and 
43 CFR 2711.3-3(a), the BLM authorized officer finds that the public 
interest would be best served by resolving the inadvertent,

resolve inadvertent unauthorized use and occupancy of public lands.
    The parcels will be disposed of at no less than the appraised FMV. 
The FMV will be determined by an appraisal using the principles 
contained in the ``Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land

check, postal money order, bank draft, or cashier's check made payable 
in U.S. dollars to the order of the U.S. Department of the Interior--
BLM. Personal checks will not be accepted. Failure to meet conditions 
established for this sale will void the sale and any monies received 
will be forfeited. If the balance of the purchase price is not received 
within the 180 days, the deposit shall be forfeited to the United 
States.
    If the offer of sale is not accepted or if the balance of the 
purchase price is not received within the time allowed, the trespasser 
will be given 180 days to remove the improvements from public land. If 
the improvements are not removed in a timely manner, the BLM will have 
the option of taking possession of the improvements and having them 
removed at the trespasser's expense. Whether or not the improvements 
are removed, the parcels will then be offered to either Boulder County 
in a sale or exchange action, to other adjacent landowners by direct or 
modified competitive sale, or to the general public through a 
competitive sale pursuant to current Federal regulations.
    Any patents issued will contain the following numbered 
reservations, covenants, terms, and conditions:

any authorized or unauthorized use of the property by other parties, 
and
    (5) Additional terms and conditions that the authorized officer

    No warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, is given by the 
United States as to the title, physical condition, or potential uses of 
the parcels of land proposed for sale, and the conveyance will not be 
on a contingency basis. In order to determine the value, through 
appraisal, 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 of Realty Action, the BLM 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: (1) All 
applicable Federal, State, or local government laws, regulations and 
policies that may affect the subject parcels or its future uses, and 
(2) existing or prospective uses 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 for future uses. Buyers should also make 
themselves aware of any Federal or State law or regulation that may 
impact the future use of the property. If any parcel lacks access from 
a public road or highway, it will be conveyed as such, and future 
access acquisition will be the responsibility of the buyer.

whole or in part. In the absence of any adverse comments, this realty 
action will become the final determination of the Department of the
