the offer to purchase and the full bid
price is paid.
The parcel may be subject to land use
applications received prior to
publication of this Notice if processing
the application would have no adverse
effect on the marketability of title, or the
FMV of the parcel. Information
concerning the sale, encumbrances of
record, appraisals, reservations,
procedures and conditions, CERCLA,
and other environmental documents
that may appear in the BLM public files
for the proposed sale parcels are
available for review during business
hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PT,
Monday through Friday, at the BLM–
LVFO, except during Federal holidays.
In order to determine the FMV
through appraisal, certain extraordinary
assumptions and hypothetical
conditions may have been made
concerning the attributes and
limitations of the lands and potential
effects of local regulations and policies
on potential future land uses. Through
publication of this Notice, the BLM
advises that these assumptions may not
be endorsed or approved by units of
local government.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to be
aware of all applicable Federal, State,
and local government laws, regulations
and policies that may affect the subject
lands, including any required
dedication of lands for public uses. It is
also the buyer’s responsibility to be
aware of existing or prospective uses of
nearby properties. When conveyed out
of Federal ownership, the lands will be
subject to any applicable laws,
regulations, and policies of the
applicable local government for
proposed future uses. It is the
responsibility of the purchaser to be
aware through due diligence of those
laws, regulations, and policies, and to
seek any required local approvals for
future uses. Buyers should make
themselves aware of any Federal or
State law or regulation that may affect
the future use of the property. Any land
lacking access from a public road or
highway will be conveyed as such, and
future access acquisition will be the
responsibility of the buyer.
Any comments regarding the
proposed sale will be reviewed by the
BLM Nevada State Director or other
authorized official of the Department of
the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or
modify this realty action in response to
such comments. In the absence of any
comments, this realty action will
become the final determination of the
Department of the Interior.

would not provide adequate protection.
There are no suitable alternative sites
available where the withdrawal would
facilitate the protection necessary.
No water rights will be needed to
fulfill the purpose of the requested
withdrawal extension.

connection with the proposed
withdrawal extension may present their
views in writing to the BLM Havre Field

Notice of Proposed Withdrawal Extension and Notice of Public
Meeting; Montana
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Land and Minerals
Management proposes to extend the duration of Public Land Order (PLO)
No. 7254, as corrected, for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 7254
withdrew 19,687 acres of public mineral estate in Toole and Liberty
Counties, Montana, from location and entry under the United States
mining law to provide enhanced protection of the unique resources
within the Sweet Grass Hills Area of Critical Environmental Concern
(ACEC) and surrounding areas. The lands have been and will remain open
to the mineral and geothermal leasing laws and mineral materials
disposal
[[Page 797]]
under the Materials Act. The withdrawal created by PLO No. 7254 will
expire on April 9, 2017, unless it is extended. This notice amends the
land description in PLO No. 7254 and gives an opportunity to comment on
the proposed action. This notice also announces the date, time, and
location of the public meeting to be held in conjunction with the
proposed extension.
DATES: Comments must be received by April 6, 2016. The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) will hold a public meeting in connection with the
proposed withdrawal extension on February 10, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to the BLM Havre Field Manager, 3990
HWY 2 West, Havre, Montana 59501.

FR 17633 (1997)), as corrected (62 FR 22964 (1997)), will expire April
9, 2017, unless it is extended, and is incorporated herein by
reference. The BLM has filed an application requesting that the
Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management extend PLO No.

of public mineral estate in Toole and Liberty Counties, Montana, from
location and entry under the United States mining law, subject to valid
existing rights. This notice amends the land description as the result
of a resurvey due to the cancellation of mineral survey 3418. The
public mineral estate withdrawn by PLO No. 7254 is now described as
follows:

The areas described aggregate 19,686.09 acres of public mineral
estate in Toole and Liberty Counties.
The purpose of the proposed extension is to continue to protect the
unique resources within the Sweet Grass Hills ACEC and surrounding
areas.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative
agreement would not provide adequate protection.
There are no suitable alternative sites available where the
withdrawal would facilitate the protection necessary.
No water rights will be needed to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal extension.
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 Havre Field Manager by April 6, 2016, at
the address above.
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will
be available for public review at the Havre
[[Page 798]]
Field Office, 3990 HWY 2 West, Havre, Montana 59501, during regular
business hours.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, be advised that
your entire comment--including your personal identifying information--
may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask in your
comment to withhold from public review your personal identifying
information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Notice is hereby given that a public meeting in connection with the
proposed withdrawal extension will be held at the Chester Senior
Center, 618 E. Adams Ave., Chester, Montana 59522 on February 10, 2016
from 3 to 5 p.m. The BLM will publish a notice of the time and place in
at least one newspaper of general circulation no less than 30 days
before the scheduled date of the meeting.
This application will be processed in accordance with the
regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.
