Rights-of-way granted by the BLM
will either transfer with any of the
above described land if transferred to
the State or may be reserved by the
United States. Oil and gas, geothermal,

authority of the Mineral Leasing Act of
1920 (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) will remain
in effect under the terms and conditions
of the leases.
Colorado state law and the State’s
procedures provide for the offering to
holders of BLM grazing permits,
licenses, or leases the first right to lease
lands that may be transferred to the
State. This notice of proposed
classification constitutes the required
two-year official notice to present
holders of grazing use authorizations
from the BLM that such authorizations
will be terminated upon transfer of any
of the land described above to the State
of Colorado (43 CFR 4110.4–2(b)).
For a period until August 16, 2013,
persons asserting a claim to, or interest
in, the above-described lands or mineral
estate, other than holders of leases,
permits, or rights-of-way, may file such
claim with the BLM Colorado State
Director at the address cited in the
ADDRESSES section above. You must also
provide evidence that a copy thereof has
been served on the Board of Land
Commissioners, State of Colorado, 1127
Sherman Street, Suite 300, Denver, CO
80203–2206.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 2462.1,
publication of this notice of proposed
classification in the Federal Register
segregates the above described lands
from all forms of disposal under the
public land laws, including the mining
laws, except for the form of land
disposal specified in this notice of
proposed classification. However, this
publication does not alter the
applicability of the public land laws
governing the use of the lands under

Jkt 229001
lease, license, or permit, or governing
the disposal of their mineral and
vegetative resources, other than under
the mining laws.
The segregative effect of this proposed
classification will terminate in one of
the following ways:
(1) Classification of the lands within
two years of publication of this notice
of proposed classification in the Federal
Register;
(2) Publication of a notice of
termination of the proposed
classification in the Federal Register;
(3) An Act of Congress;
(4) Expiration of a two-year period
from the date of publication of this
notice of proposed classification, or
expiration of an additional period, not
exceeding two years, if the required
notice of an extension for the proposed
classification is given.

Notice of Realty Action: Direct Sale of
Public Land in Blaine County, ID
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM), Shoshone Field
Office, proposes to sell a parcel of
public land totaling 3.39 acres in Blaine
County, Idaho, to the Point of Rocks
Ranch, LLC (PORR), at not less than the
appraised fair market value of $3,220.
DATES: Comments regarding the
proposed sale must be received by the
BLM before August 16, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
concerning the proposed sale should be
sent to BLM Shoshone Field Manager,
400 West F Street, Shoshone, Idaho
83352.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kasey Prestwich, Realty Specialist, BLM

with the above individual. You will
receive a reply during normal business
hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
following described public land is being
proposed for direct sale to PORR 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):
Boise Meridian
T. 1 S., R. 20 E.,
Sec. 15, lot 6.
The area described contains 3.39
acres, more or less.
The public land is identified as
suitable for disposal in the BLM Sun
Valley Management Framework Plan, as
amended.
The PORR owns approximately 523
acres of private land adjoining the
subject parcel on three sides. The
subject parcel is difficult and
uneconomical to manage because it is
physically separated from other public
lands by a fence and a county road. The
disposal would allow for the road to
become an identifiable boundary
between public and private lands and
improve efficiencies in the management
of both the public and private land. It
has been determined that the lands are
not needed for Federal purposes and
that conveyance is consistent with
current BLM land use planning and
would be in the public interest. Disposal
of this parcel would allow PORR to
cultivate the property in conjunction
with its adjoining ranch and include the
parcel within an existing conservation
easement held by The Nature
Conservancy that encompasses the
adjoining PORR fee. Such use of the
subject parcel could be achieved
prudently and feasibly in conjunction
with the PORR’s fee and therefore
outweigh other public values, including
recreation and scenic values, which may
be served by retaining the subject
parcel.
Current BLM policy and regulations
for land sales [43 CFR 2710.0–6(c)(1–5)]
require the use of competitive sale
procedures unless the authorized officer
determines the public interest would
best be served by modified competitive
bidding or direct (non-competitive) sale.
In this instance, PORR owns about 523
acres of abutting property. In fact, for
several decades prior to the discovery of
the unauthorized development in 2005,
the parcel was mapped as private land.
In recognition of PORR’s adjoining
ownership, as well as to resolve an
inadvertent trespass, PORR meets
regulatory requirements for a direct sale.
The BLM has completed a mineral
potential report which concluded there

tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
39768
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 127 / Tuesday, July 2, 2013 / Notices
are no known mineral values in the
lands proposed for sale. The BLM
proposes that conveyance of the Federal
mineral interests would occur
simultaneously with the sale of the
lands. The PORR will be required to pay
a $50 nonrefundable filing fee for the
conveyance of the mineral interests and
associated administrative costs.
On October 26, 2010, the above
described land was segregated from
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining laws. The
original segregation terminated 2 years
from the date of segregation. Publication
of this Notice in the Federal Register
segregates the subject lands from all
forms of appropriation under the public
land laws, including the general mining
laws, except sale under the Federal
Land Policy and Management Act. The
segregation will terminate (i) Upon
issuance of a patent or other document
of conveyance to such lands, (ii) upon
publication in the Federal Register of a
termination of the segregation, or (iii) at
the end of 2 years from the date of this
publication in the Federal Register,
whichever occurs first.
The land will not be sold before
September 3, 2013. Any patent issued
will contain the following terms,
conditions, and reservations:
1. A reservation 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. To the extent required by law, the
sale will be subject to the requirements
of Section 120(h) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9620(h));
4. An appropriate indemnification
clause protecting the United States from
claims arising out of the lessee’s/
patentee’s use, occupancy or operations
on the leased/patented lands; and
5. Additional terms and conditions
that the authorized officer deems
appropriate. Detailed information
concerning the proposed land sale
including the appraisal, planning and
environmental documents, and a
mineral report are available for review
at the BLM Shoshone Field Office at the
location identified in the ADDRESSES
section above. Normal business hours
are 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except for Federal

Public Comments: Public comments
regarding the proposed sale may be
submitted in writing to the BLM
Shoshone Field Manager (see
ADDRESSES section) on or before August

action in whole or in part. In the
absence of timely filed objections, this
realty action will become the final
