The proposed disturbance acreage would be an additional 1,211 acres (7 private; 1,204 public) for a total disturbance of 2,123 acres (208 private; 1,915 public). The proposed action would expand the mine life for 8 years. The proposed project is located approximately 50 miles northeast of Battle Mountain, Nevada, in Elko County. Employment at the Rossi Mine fluctuates based on the demand for barite. Halliburton employs 24 to 60 people at the jig plant. The mining contractor employs an additional 60 to 300 people. 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 EIS. At present, the BLM has identified the following preliminary issues: Archaeological resources, grazing, Native American traditional and cultural values, potential pit lakes and the benefits of backfilling open pits, and wildlife, including mule deer migration corridors and sage-grouse habitat. The BLM will utilize and coordinate the NEPA scoping process to help fulfill the public involvement process under the National Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C. 306108) as provided in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The information about historic and cultural resources within the area potentially affected by the proposed action will assist the BLM in identifying and evaluating impacts to such resources. The BLM will consult with Indian tribes on a government-to-government basis in accordance with Executive Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal concerns, including impacts on Indian trust assets and potential impacts to cultural resources, will be given due consideration. Federal, State, and local agencies, along with tribes and other stakeholders that may be interested in or affected by the proposed project that the BLM is evaluating, are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if eligible, may request or be requested by the BLM to participate in the development of the environmental analysis as a cooperating agency.

Disclaimer of Interest in Lands; California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of recordable disclaimer of interest.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Albert Sparks, Kenneth C. Knowles, Joan Kathleen Knowles, and 
the David L. Sullivan Living Trust (Knowles) have applied for the 
United States to issue a recordable disclaimer of interest in lands 
which were patented by the State of California with a reservation to 
the United States for future use.

DATES: Comments on issues may be submitted in writing until October 9, 
2015.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments or objections to: Associate Deputy 
State Director, Division of Natural Resources, 2800 Cottage Way, Ste. 
W-1928, Sacramento, California 95825.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deanne Kidd, BLM California State 
Office, 2800 Cottage Way, Sacramento, California 95825; dykidd@blm.gov;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The applicants and the United States agree 
that the United States holds no remaining interest in the following 
property although it remains an encumbrance in title reports, and has 
served as a deterrent to potential buyers. Knowles filed an application 
requesting the United States to issue a recordable disclaimer of the 
United States' interest pursuant to Section 315 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1745) for the following 
described lands:

San Bernardino Meridian, California

T. 5 S., R. 1 W.,
    Sec. 36, E\1/2\SW\1/4\.
    The area described contains 80.00 acres, more or less, in Riverside 
County. The lands described above were conveyed out of Federal 
ownership to the State of California (State) on January 18, 1907, 
pursuant to the Act of March 3, 1853 (10 Stat. 244), conveying school 
lands to the State upon approval of the General Land Office survey for 
each township. The State subsequently conveyed the lands out of State 
ownership on March 12, 1931, with the following language:

``subject to rights of way granted to the United States by an act of 
the Legislature, approved May 18, 1921 (Chapter 173, Statutes of 
California, 1921), for the uses prescribed in the act of Congress, 
approved June 17, 1902, relating to irrigation and reclamation.''

The June 17, 1902 Act (Act) grants the United States the authority to 
study, locate, and construct irrigation works on public lands upon 
withdrawal of the lands. The California statute referred to in the 
state patent (Chapter 173, Statutes of California, 1921) grants the 
United States rights-of-way of construction in contemplation of the 
Act, and directs that all State patents will be issued subject to the 
right of way.
    The United States asserts that its right to construct rights-of-way 
on the lands described above was not executed prior to conveyance, and 
that its authority to execute such a right was extinguished upon 
issuance of the State patent. The United States therefore has no 
remaining interest in the lands so described above and proposes to 
issue a recordable disclaimer of interest to remove the cloud on title.

    Authority:  43 CFR 1864.

California Associate Deputy State Director, Division of Natural 
Resources.
