SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RMP
amendment and associated EA will
determine whether a parcel of surveyed
public land located north of Milford, in
Beaver County, Utah, is suitable for
disposal by sale. The parcel comprises
the subject of the RMP amendment and
is described as:
Salt Lake Meridian, Utah
T. 27 S., R. 10 W.,
Sec. 7, SE1/4SW1/4SE1/4SE1/4SW1/4 and
S1/2SE1/4SE1/4SE1/4SW1/4;
Sec. 18, N1/2NE1/4NE1/4NW1/4, NE1/
4SE1/4NE1/4NE1/4NW1/4, and SE1/
4NE1/4NW1/4NE1/4NW1/4.
Areas described aggregate 8.125 acres.
Under Section 203 of the FLPMA, as
amended (43 U.S.C 1713), if a parcel of
public land is found suitable for
disposal, then it may be offered for sale
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
at the appraised fair market value.
Under Section 209 of the FLPMA, as
amended (43 U.S.C. 1719), and
regulations implementing this section at
43 CFR Part 2720, the BLM may dispose
of the associated mineral estate of no
known value to the proposed owner or
owner of record of the surface estate for
the parcel of public land.
The parcel is proposed for direct sale
to the adjacent landowners, Kent and
Alice Smith, to resolve unauthorized
uses, including a portion of their
primary residence and other structures.
The parcel represents the smallest legal
subdivision that would wholly
encompass all improvements and the
debris remaining from the Smith’s
former hauling and salvage operation.
In accordance with 43 CFR 2710.0–
6(c)(3)(iii) and 43 CFR 2711.3–3(a),
direct sale procedures are appropriate to
resolve inadvertent, unauthorized
occupancy of the land or to protect
existing equities in the land. The sale,
if completed, would protect the
improvements involved and resolve the
inadvertent encroachment.
Conveyance of the identified public
land would be subject to valid existing
rights and encumbrances of record. The
lands identified for sale are considered
to have no known mineral value based
on a mineral potential report conducted
by the BLM. The proposed sale would
include both the surface interests and
the mineral interest of the United States.
The patent would include an
appropriate indemnification clause
protecting the United States from claims
arising out of the patentee’s use
occupancy or occupations on the
patented lands.
On August 20, 2014, the abovedescribed land will be segregated from
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, except
the sale provisions of the FLPMA. Until
completion of the sale, the BLM is no
longer accepting land use applications
affecting the identified public land,
except applications for the amendment
of previously-filed right-of-way
applications or existing authorizations
to increase the term of the grants in
accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 and
2886.15. The segregative effect will
terminate upon issuance of a patent,
publication in the Federal Register of a
termination of the segregation, or
August 19, 2016, unless extended by the
BLM Utah State Director in accordance
with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d) prior to the
termination date.
The proposed sale action would
require amendment of the Cedar Beaver
Garfield Antimony RMP, approved in
1986. By this notice, the BLM is
complying with requirements in 43 CFR

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 161 / Wednesday, August 20, 2014 / Notices
1610.2(c) to notify the public of
potential amendments to land use plans,
predicated on the finding of the EA. The
RMP amendment process will focus on
the following preliminary planning
criteria:
• The RMP amendment will focus
only on determination that the specific
8.125 acre parcel meets FLPMA criteria
for disposal;
• The RMP amendment will comply
with NEPA, FLPMA, and other
applicable laws, executive orders,
regulations and policy;
• The RMP amendment will
recognize valid existing rights; and
• The BLM will use a collaborative
and multi-jurisdictional approach,
where possible, to determine the desired
future condition of the public lands.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the process for
developing the EA. At present, the BLM
has identified the following preliminary
issue: lands and realty management.
The BLM will utilize and coordinate
the NEPA commenting process to help
fulfill the public involvement process
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C.
470f) as provided for in 36 CFR
800.2(d)(3). Native American Tribal
consultations will be conducted in
accordance with policy, and Tribal
concerns will be given due
consideration, including impacts on
Indian trust assets. Federal, State, and
local agencies, along with other
stakeholders that may be interested or
affected by the BLM’s decision on this
project are invited to participate in the
scoping process and, if eligible, may
request or be requested by the BLM to
participate as a cooperating agency.
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
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

Notice of Realty Action: NonCompetitive (Direct) Sale of Public
Land in Teton County, WY
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of realty action.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) is proposing to sell
a 1.06-acre parcel of public land in
Teton County, Wyoming, to TSR
Limited under the provisions of Section
203 of the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of October 21, 1976
(FLPMA), as amended, for not less than
the appraised fair market value of
$75,000. This parcel is in an
inaccessible location that is difficult and
uneconomical for the BLM to manage as
it is surrounded by private lands, most
of which belongs to TSR Limited, and
is not suitable for management by
another Federal agency.
DATES: Comments regarding the
proposed sale of the land is accepted
until October 6, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning this
realty action may be submitted by any
of the following methods:
• Mail: BLM, Field Manager, Pinedale

line.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the provisions of 43
CFR Part 2710, the proposed sale is
suitable for direct sale under the
authority of Section 203 of the FLPMA,
as amended (43 U.S.C. 1713):
SUMMARY:

The proposed direct sale is consistent
with the objectives, goals, and decision
of the 2004 Snake River Resource
Management Plan (RMP). The parcel is
identified for disposal in the 2013 RMP
Record of Decision Amendment. Lands
owned by TSR Limited surround the 30
feet wide, isolated parcel on three sides
and it is otherwise in an inaccessible
location. Given its location, the BLM
has determined that this parcel is
difficult and uneconomical to manage
and is not suitable for management by
another Federal agency. In accordance
with 43 CFR 2710.0–6(c)(3)(iii) and 43
CFR 2711.3–3(a)(4), direct sale
procedures are appropriate for this
parcel given the adjoining ownership
pattern. TSR Limited will be allowed 30
days from the receipt of a written offer
to submit a deposit of at least 20 percent
of the appraised value of the parcel, and
180 days thereafter to submit the
balance.
On March 20, 2013, the BLM
published a Notice of Realty Action
(NORA) in the Federal Register (78 FR
17227) to segregate the parcel from
appropriation under the public land and
mining laws. The segregative effect of
that notice shall terminate upon
issuance of a patent, upon publication
in the Federal Register of a termination
of the segregation, or on March 20, 2014,
whichever comes first. In addition to
this NORA, notice of this sale will be
published once a week for 3 weeks in
the Jackson Hole News and Guide.
Conveyance of the identified public
land will be subject to valid existing
rights and encumbrances of record,
including but not limited to, rights-ofway for roads and public utilities. All
minerals will be reserved to the United
States. Upon publication of this NORA
and until completion of the sale, the
BLM will no longer accept land use
applications affecting the identified
public land, except applications for the
amendment of previously-filed right-ofway applications or existing
authorizations to increase the term of
the grants in accordance with 43 CFR
2807.15 and 2886.15.
The public land will not be offered for
sale prior to October 20, 2014.
The patent, if issued, will be subject
to the following terms, conditions, and
reservations:
1. A reservation of all minerals to the
United States;
2. 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); and
3. All valid existing rights of record,
including those documented on the
official public land records at the time
of patent issuance.
