Initial Classification of Public Lands
and Minerals for State Indemnity
Selection, Colorado
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Colorado State Board of
Land Commissioners (State) has filed a
petition for classification and
application to obtain public lands and
mineral estate in lieu of lands to which
the State was entitled but did not
receive under its Statehood Act. The
State did not receive title because the
lands had been included in an Indian
Reservation, Forest Reserve, National
Forest, or other encumbrance at the time
of statehood. Under the Taylor Grazing
Act of 1934, the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) may classify
sufficient public lands and/or minerals
in Colorado for title transfer to the State
to satisfy this obligation.
DATES: Interested parties may submit
written comments regarding the
classification of lands and minerals on
or before November 16, 2015. Persons
asserting a claim to or interest in the
lands or mineral estate described in this
notice will find the requirements for
filing such claims in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
concerning this Notice should be
addressed to: State Director, Bureau of
Land Management, Colorado State
Office, 2850 Youngfield Street,
Lakewood, CO 80215–7093.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
D. Beck, Chief, Branch of Lands and
Realty; telephone 303–239–3882; email
jbeck@blm.gov. Persons who use a
telecommunications device for the deaf
(TDD) may call the Federal Information
Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339
to contact the above individual during
normal business hours. The FIRS is
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
to leave a message or question with the
above individual. You will receive a
reply during normal business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections
2275 and 2276 of the Revised Statutes,
as amended (43 U.S.C. 851 and 852),
provide authority for Colorado to
receive title to public lands in lieu of
lands to which it was entitled under
Section 7 of its statehood act of March
3, 1875, where it did not receive title
because those lands had otherwise been
encumbered.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act of
June 8, 1934, clarified by the Supreme
Court in Andrus v. Utah, 446 U.S. 500
(1980), requires that such public lands
and/or minerals identified for proposed
transfers out of Federal ownership
under this authority must first be
classified. The BLM is classifying these
lands and minerals pursuant to 43 CFR
2400 and Section 7 of the Act of June
8, 1934 (48 Stat. 1272, as amended), 43
U.S.C. 315(f). The final acres conveyed
will be determined after further
environmental analysis is completed,
will be based on a dollar value, and may
be less than the aggregate acreage
described in this notice.
All persons who wish to submit
comments on a motion of any protestant
with this initial classification may
present their views by any means shown
under the ADDRESSES section above.
The BLM Colorado State Director will
evaluate any adverse comment and
issue a notice of determination to
proceed with, modify, or cancel the
proposed action. In the absence of any
action by the BLM State Director, this
initial classification action will become
the final determination of the
Department of the Interior.
The BLM will review any comments
and 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
become effective on December 15, 2015.
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. As provided by 43 CFR 2462.1,
the BLM Colorado State Director will
schedule a public hearing. The BLM
will announce the public hearing date
15 days prior to the hearing.
The lands and minerals included
within this initial classification are in
Chaffee, Custer, Dolores, Eagle, El Paso,
Garfield, Grand, Huerfano, Jackson,
Kiowa, La Plata, Moffat, Montezuma,
Ouray, Park, Pueblo, Routt, San Miguel
and Weld counties, Colorado, and are

the terms and conditions of the leases.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 2462.2, publication
of this notice of initial 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 initial classification.
However, this notice does not alter the
applicability of the public land laws
governing the use of the lands under
lease, license, or permit, or governing
the disposal of their mineral and
vegetative resources, other than under
the mining laws.
The segregative effect of a
classification for this form of disposal
will terminate in one of the following
ways:
(1) Disposal of the lands.
(2) Publication in the Federal Register
of a notice of termination of the
classification.
(3) An Act of Congress.
Authority: 43 CFR 2400.

History and Description of the Remains
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals, were removed from the
Citizens Bank Property site in Lee
County, MS. The exact details of
removal are unknown, but
documentation indicates that the
remains were likely removed by
Natchez Trace naturalist Francis
Elmore. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1940, human remains representing,
at minimum, four individuals were
removed from the Carr site in Lee
County, MS, during Works Progress
Administration (WPA) excavations. The
site is dated to the Late Woodland-Early
Mississippian period (circa 1000 B.C.–
A.D. 1200). No known individuals were

Initial Classification of Public Lands and Minerals for State
Indemnity Selection, Colorado
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners (State) has
filed a petition for classification and application to obtain public
lands and mineral estate in lieu of lands to which the State was
entitled but did not receive under its Statehood Act. The State did not
receive title because the lands had been included in an Indian
Reservation, Forest Reserve, National Forest, or other encumbrance at
the time of statehood. Under the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) may classify sufficient public lands and/or
minerals in Colorado for title transfer to the State to satisfy this
obligation.
DATES: Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the
classification of lands and minerals on or before November 16, 2015.
Persons asserting a claim to or interest in the lands or mineral estate
described in this notice will find the requirements for filing such
claims in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.
ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning this Notice should be addressed
to: State Director, Bureau of Land Management, Colorado State Office,
2850 Youngfield Street, Lakewood, CO 80215-7093.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John D. Beck, Chief, Branch of Lands
and Realty; telephone 303-239-3882; email jbeck@blm.gov. Persons who
use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to contact the above
individual during normal business hours. The FIRS is available 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message or question with the above
individual. You will receive a reply during normal business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 2275 and 2276 of the Revised
Statutes, as amended (43 U.S.C. 851 and 852), provide authority for
Colorado to receive title to public lands in lieu of lands to which it
was entitled under Section 7 of its statehood act of March 3, 1875,
where it did not receive title because those lands had otherwise been
encumbered.
Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act of June 8, 1934, clarified by
the Supreme Court in Andrus v. Utah, 446 U.S. 500 (1980), requires that
such public lands and/or minerals identified for proposed transfers out
of Federal ownership under this authority must first be classified. The
BLM is classifying these lands and minerals pursuant to 43 CFR 2400 and
Section 7 of the Act of June 8, 1934 (48 Stat. 1272, as amended), 43
U.S.C. 315(f). The final acres conveyed will be determined after
further environmental analysis is completed, will be based on a dollar
value, and may be less than the aggregate acreage described in this
notice.
All persons who wish to submit comments on a motion of any
protestant with this initial classification may present their views by
any means shown under the ADDRESSES section above.
The BLM Colorado State Director will evaluate any adverse comment
and issue a notice of determination to proceed with, modify, or cancel
the proposed action. In the absence of any action by the BLM State
Director, this initial classification action will become the final
determination of the Department of the Interior.
The BLM will review any comments and 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 become
effective on December 15, 2015.
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. As provided by 43 CFR 2462.1, the BLM Colorado State
Director will schedule a public hearing. The BLM will announce the
public hearing date 15 days prior to the hearing.
The lands and minerals included within this initial classification
are in Chaffee, Custer, Dolores, Eagle, El Paso, Garfield, Grand,
Huerfano, Jackson, Kiowa, La Plata, Moffat, Montezuma, Ouray, Park,
Pueblo, Routt, San Miguel and Weld counties, Colorado, and are
described as follows:

If and when the selection is approved and certified to the State,
the Clear List may either be subject to or reserve any rights-of-way
granted by the BLM. Oil and gas, geothermal, or other leases issued
under the 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. Pursuant to 43 CFR 2462.2, publication of this notice of
initial 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 initial classification. However, this
notice does not alter the applicability of the public land laws
governing the use of the lands under lease, license, or permit, or
governing the disposal of their mineral and vegetative resources, other
than under the mining laws.
The segregative effect of a classification for this form of
disposal will terminate in one of the following ways:
(1) Disposal of the lands.
(2) Publication in the Federal Register of a notice of termination
of the classification.
(3) An Act of Congress.
Authority: 43 CFR 2400.

BLM Colorado State Director.
