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

Salt Lake Meridian

T. 18 S., R. 8 E.,
    Sec. 9, SE\1/4\;.

    The area described contains 160 acres in Emery County.

    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The classification 
is consistent with the BLM Price Resource Management Plan, Lands and 
Realty Decision LAR-11, dated October 31, 2008, and is in the public 
interest. An environmental assessment has been prepared that analyzes 
the Emery County application and proposed plans of development and

Act, applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, 
including, but not limited to 43

[[Page 53340]]

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 including 
all necessary access and exit rights.
    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 limited reversionary provision stating that the title shall 
revert to the United States upon a finding, after notice and 
opportunity for a hearing, that the patentee has not substantially 
developed the lands in accordance with the approved plan of development 
on or before the date 5 years after the date of conveyance. No portion 
of the land shall under any circumstance revert to the United States if 
any such portion has been used for solid waste disposal or for any 
other purpose which may result in the disposal, placement, or release 
of any hazardous substance.
    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.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for the expansion of the existing 
county landfill. 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 
county landfill.
    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 November 1, 2010.
    The lands will not be available for conveyance until after the 
classification becomes effective, and until a determination of 
significance and decision record have been signed for the completed 
Environmental Assessment.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2741.5(h).
