The private land surrounding the public land is owned by Alan Woodland. DATES: Comments regarding the proposed sale must be received by the BLM August 5, 2010.

The following described public land is being proposed for direct sale to Alan Woodland in accordance with Sections 203 and 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended, (43 U.S.C. 1713 and 1719), at no less than the appraised fair market value: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Boise Meridian T. 6 S., R. 22 E, Sec. 29, SW1⁄4SW1⁄4. The area described contains 40 acres in Lincoln County. The appraised fair market value is $14,000. The public land is identified as suitable for disposal in the 1985 BLM Monument Resource Management Plan, as amended, and is not needed for any other Federal purposes. The direct sale will allow for the subject parcel to be formally consolidated with adjacent private property, the owner of which has currently holds a land use authorization (Cooperative Farm Management Agreement or Land Use Permit) for agricultural purposes. Disposal would alleviate the processing and administration of these land use authorizations, as well as generate funding pursuant to the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA) that can be utilized to purchase lands with higher resource values. The identified public land was identified for disposal in an approved land use plan in effect on or before July 25, 2000; therefore, proceeds from this sale will be deposited into the Federal Land Disposal Account authorized under Section 206 of FLTFA. Under FLTFA, revenues generated from the sale or disposal of lands identified for disposal in land use plans as of July 25, 2000, are directed to an account that can be used by the BLM, the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to purchase lands located within Federally designated areas or with higher resource values from willing sellers. 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 best be served by a direct sale, including the need to recognize an authorized use, such as an existing business which could suffer a substantial economic loss if the tract were purchased by someone other than the authorized user.

It has been determined that the subject parcel contains no known mineral values; therefore, the BLM proposes that the conveyance of the Federal mineral interests occur simultaneously with the sale of the land. On August 25, 2008, the above described land was segregated from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws. The segregation terminates (1) Upon issuance of a patent, (2) publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the segregation, or (3) 2 years from the date of segregation, whichever occurs first. The lands will not be sold until at least 60 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register. Alan Woodland will be required to pay a $50 nonrefundable filing fee for the conveyance of the available mineral interests. Any patent issued will contain the following terms, conditions, and reservations: 1. A reservation of right-of-way to the United States for ditches and canals constructed by the authority of the United States under the Act of August 30, 1890, 43 U.S.C. 945; 2. A condition that the conveyance be subject to all valid existing rights of record; 3.
