Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 123 / Monday, June 27, 2011 / Notices
hereby given that a public meeting will
be held August 11, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to
the Montana State Director, Bureau of
Land Management, 5001 Southgate
Drive, Billings, Montana 59101–4669.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Danielle Kepford, Fish and Wildlife
Service, 406–538–8706, Ext. 25, or
Sandra Ward, Bureau of Land
Management, Montana State Office,
406–896–5052.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FWS
has filed a petition/application to
extend the duration of the withdrawal
created by PLO No. 6997 (58 FR 50518
(1993)), as corrected (58 FR 58593
(1993)), for an additional 20-year term
and is incorporated herein by reference.
The PLO withdrew 891,442.36 acres of
Federal mineral estate from location and
entry under the United States mining
laws to protect the CMR NWR. The
withdrawal will expire September 27,
2013, unless extended.
The purpose of the proposed
extension is to continue the protection
of the CMR NWR and its mission to
preserve, restore, and manage in a
generally natural setting a portion of the
nationally significant Missouri River
breaks and associated ecosystems for
optimum wildlife resources and provide
compatible human benefits associated
with its wildlife and wild lands.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency
agreement, or cooperative agreement
would not provide adequate protection.
There are no suitable alternative sites
available.
Water will not be needed to fulfill the
purpose of the requested withdrawal
extension.
On or before September 26, 2011, all
persons who wish to submit comments,
suggestions, or objections in connection
with the proposed withdrawal extension
may present their views in writing to
the BLM Montana State Director at the
address above. Electronic mail,
facsimile, or telephone comments will
not be considered properly filed.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents, and
records relating to the application will
be available for public review at the
BLM Montana State Office, 5001
Southgate Drive, Billings, Montana,
during regular business hours.
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comments, be advised that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While

Notice is hereby given that a public
meeting in connection with the
proposed withdrawal extension will be
held on August 11, 2011 at the Yogo
Inn, 211 East Main Street, Lewistown,
Montana. A notice of the time and place
will also be published in at least one
newspaper of local jurisdiction no less
than 30 days before the scheduled
meeting date. Interested parties may
make oral statements and may file
written statements at the meeting. All
statements received will be considered
before any recommendation concerning
the proposed extension is submitted to
the Assistant Secretary for Land and
Minerals Management for final action.
The application will be processed in
accordance with the regulations set
forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.
Authority: 43 CFR 2310.3–1.

DATES: Comments regarding the

than 3 p.m., Pacific Time on September

Parcel No. 1
T. 18 N., R. 5 W.,

The area described contains 43.40 acres,
more or less, in Colusa and Glenn Counties.
Parcel No. 2
T. 15 N., R. 10 W.,

sec. 27, W1⁄2NW1⁄4 and NW1⁄4SW1⁄4.
The area described contains 120 acres,
more or less, in Lake County.
The public lands have been identified
as suitable for disposal in the BLM’s
September 2006 Ukiah Resource
Management Plan, as amended, because
they are isolated from large blocks of
public land and are considered to be
difficult and uneconomic to manage as
part of the public lands. Parcels Nos. 2,
3, and 4 lack legal access, which
increases the difficulty of managing
them as part of the public lands. In
addition, they are not needed for any
Federal purpose. The BLM has
completed a mineral potential report
which identified oil and gas resources
in Parcel No. 1 and geothermal

resources in Parcel Nos. 2, 3, and 4.
Otherwise, there are no other mineral
values in the lands. The BLM proposes
to reserve oil and gas mineral interests
in Parcel No. 1 and geothermal mineral
interests in Parcel Nos. 2, 3, and 4 and
convey all other Federal mineral
interests with the sale of the lands. On
June 27, 2011, the above described lands
will be segregated from all forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, except
the sale provisions of the FLPMA. Until
completion of the sale, the BLM will no
longer accept land use applications
affecting the public lands, except
applications for the amendment of
previously filed right-of-way (ROW)
applications or existing authorizations
to increase the term of the grants in
accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15. The
segregation will terminate upon
issuance of a patent, publication in the
Federal Register of a termination of the
segregation, or June 27, 2013, unless
extended by the BLM State Director in
accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d)
prior to the termination date. Proceeds
from the sale will be deposited into the
Federal Land Disposal Account,
pursuant to the Federal Land
Transaction Facilitation Act of July 25,
2000. The lands will not be sold until
at least August 26, 2011. Any patent
issued would contain the following
terms, conditions, and reservations:
1. A reservation of a right-of-way to
the United States for ditches and canals
constructed by authority of the United
States under the Act of August 30, 1890
(43 U.S.C. 945).
2. A reservation of all oil and gas
mineral resources to the United States
together with the right to prospect for,
mine and remove such mineral
resources under applicable law and any
regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior may prescribe, along with all
necessary access and exit rights (Parcel
No. 1).
3. A reservation of all geothermal
mineral resources to the United States
together with the right to prospect for,
mine, and remove such mineral
resources under applicable law and any
regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior may prescribe, along with all
necessary access and exit rights (Parcel
Nos. 2, 3, and 4).
4. Subject to such rights as Colusa and
Glenn County may have under Revised
Statute 2477 for Rail Canyon Road and
County Road 401 on Parcel No. 1
(Colusa and Glenn County may apply
for, and BLM may grant, permanent
easements for these roads prior to
conveyance).
5. An appropriate indemnification
clause protecting the United States from
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
claims arising out of the patentee’s use,
occupancy, and/or operators of the
patented lands.
6. Additional terms and conditions
that the authorized officer deems
appropriate.
The parcels may be subject to
applications for ROWs received prior to
publication of this Notice if processing
the application would not adversely
affect the marketability or appraised
value of the land. Interested bidders are
advised to obtain an Invitation For Bids
(IFB) from the BLM Ukiah Field Office
at the address above or by calling (707)
468–4082. Bidders must follow the
instructions in the IFB to participate in
the bidding process. Sealed bids must
be for not less than the federally
approved fair market value. Each sealed
bid must include a certified check,
money order, bank draft, or cashier’s
check made payable in U.S. dollars to
the order of the Bureau of Land
Management, for 10 percent of the
amount of the bid. The highest
qualifying bidder among the qualified
bids received for the sale will be
declared the high bid and the high
bidder will receive written notice.
Bidders submitting matching high bid
amounts will be provided an
opportunity to submit supplemental
bids. The BLM Ukiah Field Manager
will determine the method of
supplemental bidding, which may be by
oral auction or additional sealed bids.
The successful bidder must submit the
remainder of the full bid price in the
form of a certified check, money order,
bank draft, or cashier’s check made
payable in U.S. dollars to the Bureau of
Land Management prior to the
expiration of 180 days from the date of
the sale. Personal checks will not be
accepted. Failure to submit the full bid
price prior to, but not including, the
180th day following the day of the sale
will result in the forfeiture of the 10
percent bid deposit to the BLM in
accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3–1(d).
No exceptions will be made. The BLM
will return checks submitted by
unsuccessful bidders by U.S. mail. The
BLM may accept or reject any or all
offers, or withdraw any parcel of land or
interest therein from sale, if, in the
opinion of the BLM authorized officer,
consummation of the sale would not be
fully consistent with the FLPMA or
other applicable law or is determined to
not be in the public interest. Under
Federal law, public lands may only be
conveyed to U.S. citizens 18 years of age
or older; a corporation subject to the
laws of any State or of the United States;
a State, State instrumentality, or
political subdivision authorized to hold
property, or an entity legally capable of
PO 00000

conveying and holding lands under the
laws of the State of California.
Certification of qualifications, including
citizenship or corporation or
partnership, must accompany the sealed
bid. A bid to purchase the land will
constitute an application for conveyance
of the mineral interests of no known
value, and in conjunction with the final
payment, the high bidder will be
required to pay a $50 non-refundable
filing fee and any applicable
administrative costs for processing the
conveyance of the mineral interests. If
not sold, the land described in this
Notice may be identified for sale later
without further legal notice and may be
offered for sale by sealed bid, internet
auction, or oral auction. In order to
determine the value, through appraisal,
of the land proposed to be sold, 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, 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 all
applicable local government policies,
laws, and regulations that would affect
the lands, including any required
dedication of lands for public uses. It is
also the buyer’s responsibility to be
aware of existing or projected uses of
nearby properties. When conveyed out
of Federal ownership, the lands will be
subject to any applicable reviews and
approvals by the respective unit of local
government for proposed future uses,
and any such reviews and approvals
will be the responsibility of the buyer.
Any land lacking access from a public
road or highway will be conveyed as
such, and future access acquisition will
be the responsibility of the buyer.
Detailed information concerning the
proposed land sale including the
reservations, sale procedures and
conditions, appraisal, planning and
environmental documents, and a
mineral report are available for review
at the location identified in ‘‘Addresses’’
above. Public Comments regarding the
proposed sale may be submitted in
writing to the attention of the BLM
Ukiah Field Manager (see ADDRESSES
above) on or before August 11, 2011.
Comments received in electronic form,
such as e-mail or facsimile, will not be
considered. Any adverse comments
regarding the proposed sale will be
reviewed by the BLM State Director or
other authorized official of the
Department of the Interior, who may
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty

The area described contains 120 acres, more or less, in Lake

The public lands have been identified as suitable for disposal in
the BLM's September 2006 Ukiah Resource Management Plan, as amended,
because they are isolated from large blocks of public land and are
considered to be difficult and uneconomic to manage as part of the
public lands. Parcels Nos. 2, 3, and 4 lack legal access, which
increases the difficulty of managing them as part of the public lands.
In addition, they are not needed for any Federal purpose. The BLM has
completed a mineral potential report which identified oil and gas
resources in Parcel No. 1 and geothermal
[[Page 37374]]
resources in Parcel Nos. 2, 3, and 4. Otherwise, there are no other
mineral values in the lands. The BLM proposes to reserve oil and gas
mineral interests in Parcel No. 1 and geothermal mineral interests in
Parcel Nos. 2, 3, and 4 and convey all other Federal mineral interests
with the sale of the lands. On June 27, 2011, the above described lands
will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public
land laws, including the mining laws, except the sale provisions of the
FLPMA. Until completion of the sale, the BLM will no longer accept land
use applications affecting the public lands, except applications for
the amendment of previously filed right-of-way (ROW) applications or
existing authorizations to increase the term of the grants in
accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15. The segregation will terminate upon
issuance of a patent, publication in the Federal Register of a
termination of the segregation, or June 27, 2013, unless extended by
the BLM State Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to
the termination date. Proceeds from the sale will be deposited into the
Federal Land Disposal Account, pursuant to the Federal Land Transaction
Facilitation Act of July 25, 2000. The lands will not be sold until at
least August 26, 2011. Any patent issued would contain the following
terms, conditions, and reservations:
1. A reservation of a right-of-way to the United States for ditches
and canals constructed by authority of the United States under the Act
of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
2. A reservation of all oil and gas mineral resources to the United
States together with the right to prospect for, mine and remove such
mineral resources under applicable law and any regulations as the
Secretary of the Interior may prescribe, along with all necessary
access and exit rights (Parcel No. 1).
3. A reservation of all geothermal mineral resources to the United
States together with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove such
mineral resources under applicable law and any regulations as the
Secretary of the Interior may prescribe, along with all necessary
access and exit rights (Parcel Nos. 2, 3, and 4).
4. Subject to such rights as Colusa and Glenn County may have under
Revised Statute 2477 for Rail Canyon Road and County Road 401 on Parcel
No. 1 (Colusa and Glenn County may apply for, and BLM may grant,
permanent easements for these roads prior to conveyance).
5. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United
States from claims arising out of the patentee's use, occupancy, and/or
operators of the patented lands.
6. Additional terms and conditions that the authorized officer
deems appropriate.
The parcels may be subject to applications for ROWs received prior

adversely affect the marketability or appraised value of the land.
Interested bidders are advised to obtain an Invitation For Bids (IFB)
from the BLM Ukiah Field Office at the address above or by calling
(707) 468-4082. Bidders must follow the instructions in the IFB to
participate in the bidding process. Sealed bids must be for not less
than the federally approved fair market value. Each sealed bid must
include a certified check, money order, bank draft, or cashier's check
made payable in U.S. dollars to the order of the Bureau of Land
Management, for 10 percent of the amount of the bid. The highest
qualifying bidder among the qualified bids received for the sale will
be declared the high bid and the high bidder will receive written
notice. Bidders submitting matching high bid amounts will be provided
an opportunity to submit supplemental bids. The BLM Ukiah Field Manager
will determine the method of supplemental bidding, which may be by oral
auction or additional sealed bids. The successful bidder must submit
the remainder of the full bid price in the form of a certified check,
money order, bank draft, or cashier's check made payable in U.S.
dollars to the Bureau of Land Management prior to the expiration of 180
days from the date of the sale. Personal checks will not be accepted.
Failure to submit the full bid price prior to, but not including, the
180th day following the day of the sale will result in the forfeiture
of the 10 percent bid deposit to the BLM in accordance with 43 CFR
2711.3-1(d). No exceptions will be made. The BLM will return checks
submitted by unsuccessful bidders by U.S. mail. The BLM may accept or
reject any or all offers, or withdraw any parcel of land or interest
therein from sale, if, in the opinion of the BLM authorized officer,
consummation of the sale would not be fully consistent with the FLPMA
or other applicable law or is determined to not be in the public
interest. Under Federal law, public lands may only be conveyed to U.S.
citizens 18 years of age or older; a corporation subject to the laws of
any State or of the United States; a State, State instrumentality, or
political subdivision authorized to hold property, or an entity legally
capable of conveying and holding lands under the laws of the State of
California. Certification of qualifications, including citizenship or
corporation or partnership, must accompany the sealed bid. A bid to
purchase the land will constitute an application for conveyance of the
mineral interests of no known value, and in conjunction with the final
payment, the high bidder will be required to pay a $50 non-refundable
filing fee and any applicable administrative costs for processing the
conveyance of the mineral interests. If not sold, the land described in
this Notice may be identified for sale later without further legal
notice and may be offered for sale by sealed bid, internet auction, or
oral auction. In order to determine the value, through appraisal, of
the land proposed to be sold, 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, 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 all
applicable local government policies, laws, and regulations that would
affect the lands, including any required dedication of lands for public
uses. It is also the buyer's responsibility to be aware of existing or
projected uses of nearby properties. When conveyed out of Federal
ownership, the lands will be subject to any applicable reviews and
approvals by the respective unit of local government for proposed
future uses, and any such reviews and approvals will be the
responsibility of the buyer. Any land lacking access from a public road
or highway will be conveyed as such, and future access acquisition will
be the responsibility of the buyer. Detailed information concerning the
proposed land sale including the reservations, sale procedures and
conditions, appraisal, planning and environmental documents, and a
mineral report are available for review at the location identified in
``Addresses'' above. Public Comments regarding the proposed sale may be
submitted in writing to the attention of the BLM Ukiah Field Manager
(see ADDRESSES above) on or before August 11, 2011. Comments received
in electronic form, such as e-mail or facsimile, will not be
considered. Any adverse comments regarding the proposed sale will be
reviewed by the BLM State Director or other authorized official of the
Department of the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this
realty

action in whole or in part. In the absence of timely filed objections,
this realty action will become the final determination of the
Department of the Interior. Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in
your comment, be advised 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 from public
review your personal identifying information, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to do so.
Authority: 43 CFR 2711.1-2(a) and (c).
