T. 16 S., R. 34 E.,
Sec. 32, lot 1;
Sec. 33, lot 1.
Except that portion used for the
United States Coast Guard (USCG)
Station Ponce de Leon Inlet, and that

Hillsborough River or Indian River
North to Point of Beginning. The area
described contains approximately 75
acres in Volusia County.
The land is located on the north end
of New Smyrna Beach and south of the
inlet along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
The land is currently withdrawn on
behalf of the USCG for Coast Guard
purposes by Executive Order No. 4084,
dated October 10, 1924, and previously
reserved for lighthouse purposes by
Executive Order dated July 25, 1842.

residents for recreation compatible with
the preservation of its resources. Such
recreational use includes nature study,
bird watching, hiking and fishing. Onsite facilities include parking,
restrooms, boardwalks, picnic pavilion,

information pertaining to this
application, including a plan of
development, a map depicting the
public land, and the management plan
are available for review at the BLM–ES
Southeastern States Field Office at the
address above.
The County has not applied for more
than the 6,400-acre limit for recreation
uses in one year, and has submitted a
statement describing the proposed use
of the land in compliance with 43 CFR
2741.4, which stipulates lease
application procedures.
If issued to the County, the lease or
patent would be subject to the following
terms, conditions and reservations to
the United States:
1. Provisions of the R&PP Act of 1926,
as amended, and all applicable
regulations of the Secretary of the
Interior, including, but not limited to,
those patent provisions as noted in
43 CFR 2741.9;
2. Valid existing rights;
3. A reservation of all minerals by the
United States, together with the right to

analysis;
5. Any other rights or reservations
that the authorized officer deems
appropriate to ensure public access and
proper management of Federal land and
interest therein; and
6. An appropriate indemnification
clause protecting the United States from
claims arising out of the lessee/
patentee’s use, occupancy, or operations
on the leased/patented lands.
The land described above remains
segregated from all other forms of
disposal or appropriation under the
public land laws, including the United
States mining laws, except for leasing
under the mineral leasing laws and
conveyance under the R&PP Act.

Township 7 South, Range 22 West,
Section 14, SE1⁄4SW1⁄4 (within),
SW1⁄4SE1⁄4 (within).
The area described contains
approximately 15 acres.
Closure of Betty’s Kitchen is
necessary to allow for the restoration of
the area and avoid exposing the public
to safety hazards caused by the Laguna
Fire.
The BLM Laguna Emergency
Stabilization and Rehabilitation
Environmental Assessment (EA) (DOI–
BLM–AZ–C020–2011–0018–EA) signed
on September 28, 2011, states, ‘‘Human
health and safety would be greatly
affected from the remaining hazardous
trees throughout the project area. Unless
hazardous trees are removed, the
recreation area would need to remain
closed to the public.’’ In order to
implement the EA’s proposed
remediation actions, unscheduled heavy
equipment may be operating in the area
to remove the hazards over the next 2
years as funding and scheduling
opportunities allow. A temporary
closure is needed to reduce or eliminate
the likelihood of accidents to visitors
while fishing, picnicking, camping, or
pursuing other activities in the vicinity
of the existing and static hazards before
or while work is occurring. In addition,
improvements to recreational facilities
and the addition of new bridges will
enhance visitor enjoyment and safety
when completed. Immediately after the
