SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined and found

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM has examined and found the following 
described public land suitable for classification for conveyance under 
the provisions of the R&PP Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.), and 
43 CFR 2740:

Salt Lake Meridian

T. 23 S., R. 19 E.,
    Sec. 10;
    Sec. 11, SW\1/4\SW\1/4\NE\1/4\, W\1/2\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\, NW\1/
4\NW\1/4\, S\1/2\NW\1/4\, SW\1/4\, SW\1/4\NE\1/4\SE\1/4\, NW\1/
4\SE\1/4\, and S\1/2\SE\1/4\;
    Sec. 14, N\1/2\N\1/2\;
    Sec. 15, N\1/2\N\1/2\.

    The area described contains 1,400 acres more or less, in Grand 
County.
    The area to be conveyed is approximately 1,300 acres. The 
description and acreage of the area classified within sec. 11 will 
be revised by survey and approval of a supplemental plat.

    The classification is consistent with the BLM Moab Field Office 
Resource Management Plan, Lands and Realty Decision LAR-5, Appendix G 
at G.1.4, dated October 31, 2008 and is in the public interest. An 
environmental assessment will be prepared to analyze the Grand County 
application and proposed plans of development and management. A 
conveyance would be subject to the provisions of the R&PP Act, 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, in particular 
those provisions found at 43 CFR subpart 2743, and the following 
reservations to the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
    2. All minerals, together with the right to prospect for, mine, and 
remove such deposits from the same under applicable law and such 
regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe.
    A conveyance would also be subject to the following terms and 
conditions:
    1. All valid existing rights;
    2. An indemnification clause protecting the United States from 
claims arising out of the patentee's use, occupancy, or operations on 
the land;
    3. A provision that states that no portion of the land covered by 
the patent, when issued, shall under any circumstances revert to the 
United States if such portion has been used for solid waste disposal or 
for any other purpose that the authorized officer determines may result 
in the disposal, placement, or release of any hazardous substance (43 
CFR 2743.2-1(e)).
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
described above are segregated from all other forms of appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except 
for conveyance under the R&PP Act. This notice will also serve as the 
2-year notification to the grazing permittees of a reduction in grazing 
privilege in the Little Grand and Big Flat Tenmile Allotments.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a shooting facilities 
complex. Comments on the classification are restricted to whether the 
land is physically suited for the proposal, whether the use will 
maximize the future use or uses of the land, whether the use is 
consistent with local planning and zoning, or whether the use is 
consistent with State and Federal programs.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application, or any other 
factors not directly related to the suitability of the land for a 
shooting facilities complex.
    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.
    The BLM State Director will review any adverse comments. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become 
effective on July 12, 2010. The lands will not be available for 
conveyance until after the classification becomes effective, and 
completion of the environmental assessment on the application. 
Conveyance of the lands is also contingent upon approval of a 
supplemental survey plat for sec. 11.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5(h).

Approved: Jeff Rawson,
Associate State Director.
