SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USFS
has filed an application requesting that
the Secretary of the Interior extend PLO
No. 7133 (60 FR 18777 (1995)), which
withdrew approximately 496.22 acres in
Ferry, Stevens, and Pend Oreille
Counties, Washington, from location
and entry under the United States
mining laws (30 U.S.C. Ch. 2 (1988)), for
an additional 20-year term, subject to
valid existing rights. PLO No. 7133 is
incorporated herein by reference.
The purpose of the proposed
withdrawal extension is to continue the
protection of the integrity and
functionality of the seed orchards, along
with the investment of Federal funds at
the Brown Mountain, Pal Moore
Meadows, Teepee, Cedar Creek, and
Flowery Trail Seed Orchards.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency
agreement, or cooperative agreement
would not provide adequate protection
because these instruments do not
provide the ability to preclude all forms
of location and entry under the mining
laws.
The USFS would not need to acquire
water rights to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal extension.
Records related to the application
may be examined by contacting Sara
Copp at the above address or phone
number.
For a period until April 23, 2014, 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 State Director at the address
indicated above.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents, will be

The
following described public land in Inyo
County, California has been examined
and found suitable for classification for
lease and conveyance under Section 7 of
the Taylor Grazing Act, 43 U.S.C. 315f,
and the provisions of the R&PP Act as
amended, 43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

San Bernardino Meridian
T. 20 N., R. 7 E.,
Sec. 12, Lot 3;
The area described contains 61.81
acres in Inyo County.
The land is not needed for any
Federal purpose. The County of Inyo
previously leased a portion of the land
described above for landfill purposes
beginning in 1972. The County of Inyo
has applied to purchase the land
described to implement a long term
closure and monitoring plan for the
landfill. The land described above
includes the landfill footprint and
additional adjacent public land not
within the original lease area, but now
considered necessary for access,
monitoring wells and slope
stabilization. The conveyance is
consistent with current BLM land use
planning and would be in the public
interest. The patent, if issued, would be
subject to the provisions of the R&PP
Act and applicable regulations of the
Secretary of the Interior, in particular,
but not limited to 43 CFR 2743.3–1, and
would contain the following additional
reservations, terms, and conditions:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches
or canals constructed by the authority of
the United States pursuant to the Act of
August 30, 1890, 43 U.S.C. 945.
2. All minerals shall be reserved to
the United States, together with the
right to prospect for, mine, and remove
the minerals under applicable laws and
such regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior may prescribe, including all
necessary access and exit rights.
3. The patent, if issued, will be
subject to all valid existing rights.
4. The patentee shall comply with all
Federal and State laws applicable to the
disposal, placement, or release of
hazardous substances and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the
United States against any legal liability
or future costs that may arise out of any
violation of such laws.
5. Except as provided in provision 7
below, the land conveyed shall revert to
the United States unless substantially
used in accordance with an approved
plan and schedule of development on or
before the date 5 years after the date of
conveyance.
6. If, at any time, the patentee
transfers to another party ownership of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
21:50 Jan 22, 2014
Jkt 232001
any portion of the land not used for the
purpose(s) specified in the application
and the approved plan of development,
the patentee shall pay the BLM the fair
market value, as determined by the
authorized officer, of the transferred
portion as of the date of transfer,
including the value of any
improvements thereon.
7. No portion of the land used for
solid waste disposal or for any other
purpose that may have resulted in the
disposal, placement, or release of any
hazardous substance shall under any
circumstance revert to the United States.
8. Portions of the above described
land have been used for solid waste
disposal. Records regarding the solid
waste disposal on the land are
maintained by the County. Solid waste
commonly includes small quantities of
commercial hazardous waste and
household hazardous waste as
determined in the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976,
as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901), and
defined in 40 CFR 261.4 and 261.5.
Although there is no indication that
these materials pose any significant risk
to human health or the environment,
future land uses should be limited to
those which do not penetrate the liner
or final cover of the landfill unless
excavation is conducted subject to
applicable State and Federal
requirements.
On March 24, 2014, the public land
described above will be segregated from
all forms of appropriation under the
public land laws, including the general
mining laws, except for lease or
conveyance under the R&PP Act.
Classification Comments: Interested
parties may submit comments involving
the suitability of the land for a closed
solid waste facility. 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 if the use
is consistent with State and Federal
programs.
Application Comments: Interested
parties may submit comments regarding
the specific use proposed in the
application and plan of development,
whether the BLM followed proper
administrative procedures in reaching
the decision, or any other factor not
directly related to the suitability of the
land for a solid waste facility. Any
adverse comments will be reviewed by
the BLM California State Director who
may sustain, vacate, or modify this
realty action. In the absence of any
adverse comments, the classification of
the land described in this notice will
PO 00000

become effective on March 24, 2014.

conveyance until after the classification
becomes effective.
Before including your address, phone
number, email 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.
