implementation of a Plan of
Notification. Certain manufactured
homes built and sold by Cavco
contained certain Nortek furnace
models with the potential for incorrect
wiring of circuit breakers used for overcurrent protection of the furnace. After
reviewing Cavco’s request, HUD
determined that Cavco has shown good
cause and granted its request for an
extension. The requested extension is
granted until July 4, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Manufactured Housing
Construction and Safety Standards Act
of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5401–5426) (the Act)
authorizes HUD to establish the Federal
Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standards (Construction and
Safety Standards), codified in 24 CFR
part 3280. Section 615 of the Act (42
U.S.C. 5414) requires that manufacturers
of manufactured homes notify
purchasers if the manufacturer
determines, in good faith, that a defect
exists or is likely to exist in more than
one home manufactured by the
manufacturer and the defect relates to
the Construction and Safety Standards
or constitutes an imminent safety
hazard to the purchaser of the
manufactured home. The notification
shall also inform purchasers whether
the defect is one that the manufacturer
will have corrected at no cost or is one
that must be corrected at the expense of
the purchaser/owner. The manufacturer
is responsible to notify purchasers of the
defect within a reasonable time after
discovering the defect.
HUD’s procedural and enforcement
provisions at 24 CFR part 3282, subpart
I (Subpart I) implement these
notification and correction
requirements. If a manufacturer
determines that it is responsible for
providing notification under § 3282.405
and correction under § 3282.406, the
manufacturer must prepare a plan for
notifying purchasers of the homes
containing the defect pursuant to
§§ 3282.408 and 3282.409. Notification
of purchasers must be accomplished by
certified mail or other more expeditious

means that provides a receipt.
Notification must be provided to each
retailer or distributor to whom any
manufactured home in the class of
homes containing the defect was
delivered, to the first purchaser of each
manufactured home in the class of
manufactured homes containing the
defect, and to other persons who are a
registered owners of a manufactured
home in the class of homes containing
the defect. The manufacturer must
complete the implementation of the
plan for notification and correction on
or before the deadline approved by the
State Administrative Agency or HUD.
Pursuant to § 3282.407(c),
manufacturers may request a waiver of
the notification requirements if all
affected homes have been identified and
the manufacturer agrees to correct all
affected homes within a specific time
from the approval date.
Under § 3282.410(c), the manufacturer
may request an extension of a
previously established deadline if it
shows good cause for the extension and
the Secretary of HUD decides that the
extension is justified and not contrary to
the public interest. If the request for
extension is approved, § 3282.410(c)
requires that HUD publish notice of the
extension in the Federal Register.
On December 31, 2015, Cavco 1
notified HUD and requested a waiver of
notification for certain manufactured
homes that contained furnaces with
circuit breaker wiring labels that if
followed, would result in incorrect
electrical circuit completion.
Specifically, the homes were installed
with certain Nortek furnaces, which
were subsequently voluntarily
identified by Nortek as being affected by
its labeling problem. HUD approved
Cavco’s request on January 6, 2016. On
March 7, 2016, Cavco submitted a
request for an extension regarding the
completion of corrections required to be
completed within 60 days under the
HUD approved waiver. Pursuant to its
waiver request, Cavco stated that it was
working with the furnace manufacturer
(Nortek) to correct affected homes in the
hands of consumers.
Cavco, by letter dated March 7, 2016,
requested an extension of 120 days to
complete the correction process. This
notice advises that HUD on March 7,
2016, concluded that Cavco has shown
good cause and that the extension is
justified and not contrary to the public
interest, and granted the requested
extension until July 4, 2016. This
extension permits Cavco to continue its
good faith efforts to correct affected

Notice of Realty Action: NonCompetitive Direct Sale, Renunciation,
and Conveyance of the Reversionary
Interests in Recreation and Public
Purpose Act Patents in Glennallen,
Alaska
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of realty action.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM), Glennallen Field
Office is considering a request by SEND
North (SEND) to purchase the Federal
Government’s reversionary interest at
current Fair Market Value of $210,000
for up to 210 acres of partially
developed lands established under the
Recreation and Public Purposes Act
(R&PP) in Glennallen, Alaska. The BLM
is also considering the renunciation of
reversionary interest for an associated
2.5-acre patented parcel of land,
authorized under the R&PP Act in
Glennallen, Alaska, which was used as
a medical sewage lagoon by SEND.
DATES: Interested parties may submit
comments regarding the proposed sale
and renunciation of the lands until May
9, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to
the Field Manager, Glennallen Field
Office, P.O. Box 147, Glennallen, AK

You will receive a reply during normal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1961, a
210-acre parcel of Federal land was
E:\FR\FM\07APN1.SGM
07APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 67 / Thursday, April 7, 2016 / Notices
patented (patent number 1221491) to
Central Alaska Missions Inc. (CAM)
under the authority of the R&PP Act of
June 14, 1926, as amended, 43 U.S.C.
869, et seq. The non-profit CAM came
to Glennallen, Alaska in 1957 to assist
the Glennallen community and the
surrounding area with not-for-profit
education, medical, and religious
services. In 1963, an additional 2.5 acres
was patented (patent number 1232741)
under the same authority for the
creation of a sewage lagoon to support
the medical facility constructed on the
previous patented land. The patents
were subsequently transferred under
provisions of the R&PP Act to the
current non-profit SEND North (SEND).
The purpose for which the lands can
be used is restricted by a reversionary
clause in the patents, which returns title
to the United States if the tracts are used
for other purposes not provided for in
the patents. The purpose of the direct
sale is to dispose of the reversionary
interests in the patented lands which
represent certain restrictions and
conditions that prevent SEND from
using the land for other purposes. The
purpose of the renunciation is to release
the United States from liability for the
sewage treatment lagoon. The parcels
proposed for direct sale and
renunciation of the reversionary
interests are located in the business
center of Glennallen, Alaska and consist
of two surveyed parcels containing
approximately 210 acres and 2.5 acres
and are described as:
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Copper River Meridian, Alaska
T. 4 N., R. 2 W.,
Sec. 23, NE1⁄4, SE1⁄4SE1⁄4SE1⁄4SW1⁄4,
NW1⁄4NE1⁄4SE1⁄4 and NW1⁄4SE1⁄4.
The areas described aggregate 212.50 acres.
The purpose of the direct sale and
renunciation of the reversionary
interests is so the lands, patented to
SEND, can be sold, transferred, and/or
used for other purposes. The R&PP Act
reversionary clause in the patents
requires the patents be sold only to
those qualified under the R&PP Act and
is used only for the purposes allowed
under the R&PP Act, or the patented
land will revert back to the United
States. These parcels of land are located
in the business center of Glennallen,
which is in a rural part of Alaska. SEND
has experienced difficulty in attracting
potential buyers because of the
reversionary clause in the patents.
SEND cannot find a buyer who is
interested in the land and who qualifies
under the R&PP Act. A direct sale and
renunciation of the reversionary
interests will allow SEND to sell or
transfer the properties to any citizen or
organization in the United States and to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:35 Apr 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
use the lands for any purpose, without
the threat of a reversion of the title for
breach of patent conditions. This sale
and renunciation would reduce the
Federal Government’s and the BLM’s
liability in relation to both parcels and
allow for the merger of property
interests to occur.
The non-competitive, direct sale and
release are consistent with the East
Alaska Resource Management Plan
approved in September 2007. Authority
for the sale and release of the
reversionary interests is in conformance
with Section 202 of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of
October 21, 1976, as amended, and
Section 203, whereas the Secretary
determines that the sale of the parcel
meets the following disposal criteria:
Such tract is difficult and uneconomic
to manage because of its location or
other characteristics, such as the
subject’s history of use, current level of
development, and is neither required
nor suitable for management by another
Federal department or agency. The
lands are being offered for sale and
renunciation using direct sale
procedures pursuant to 43 CFR 2711.3–
3. The renunciation of the reversionary
interest in the 2.5 acres would take
place pursuant to 43 CFR 2743.4, as
they meet the criteria identified in
National BLM Handbook H–2740–1,
Chapter X: Solid Waste or Other
Purposes That May Include the
Disposal, Placement, or Release of a
Hazardous Substance. The reversionary
interest in this land will be offered by
direct sale to SEND at the Fair Market
Value (FMV) of $210,000 according to
an appraisal report for the 210-acre
parcel located in the NE 1⁄4 and SE 1⁄4
of section 23. The 2.5-acre parcel
located in the SW 1⁄4 of section 23
containing a sewage lagoon will be
renounced without payment by SEND.
The appraisal report is available for
public review at the BLM Glennallen
Field Office at the address above.
Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, the lands will be
segregated from all other forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the general mining laws,
except for lease under the R&PP Act,
leasing under the mineral leasing laws,
and disposals under the mineral
material disposal laws.
Upon completion of this action, the
identified parcels would no longer be
subject to having title revert to the
Federal Government under the R&PP
Act as described in patents 1221491 and
1232741. All other terms and conditions
of these patents will apply. The direct
sale and renunciation of the
reversionary interest of these lands will

be made subject to the provisions of
FLPMA, the applicable regulations of

existing rights, and the following
reservations:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches

2. All minerals, together with the right
to prospect for, mine, and remove such
deposits from the same under applicable
law and such regulations as the
Secretary of the Interior may prescribe.
3. Valid existing rights.
The purchaser, by, respectively,
purchasing the reversionary interests,
and accepting the renunciation of the
interests of the United States agrees to
indemnify, defend, and hold the United
States, its officers, agents or employees
harmless from any costs, damages,
claims, causes of action, penalties, fines,
liabilities, and judgments of any kind
arising from the past, present or future
acts or omissions of the purchaser, its
employees, agents, contractors, or
lessees, or third-party arising out of or
in connection with the purchaser’s
acceptance of the aforementioned
release or purchaser’s use and/or

Federal and State environmental laws
are generated, released, stored, used, or
otherwise disposed of on the land
involved, and any cleanup, response,
remedial action or other actions related
in any manner to said solid or
hazardous substances or wastes; or (6)
Natural resource damages as defined by
Federal and State law. Patentee shall
stipulate that it will be solely
responsible for compliance with all
applicable Federal, State, and local
environmental and regulatory
provisions, throughout the life of the
facilities, including any closure and/or
post-closure requirements that may be
imposed with respect to any physical

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.
Interested persons may submit

Recreation and Public Purpose Act Patents in Glennallen, Alaska
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of realty action.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Glennallen Field Office
is considering a request by SEND North (SEND) to purchase the Federal
Government's reversionary interest at current Fair Market Value of
$210,000 for up to 210 acres of partially developed lands established
under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act (R&PP) in Glennallen,
Alaska. The BLM is also considering the renunciation of reversionary
interest for an associated 2.5-acre patented parcel of land, authorized
under the R&PP Act in Glennallen, Alaska, which was used as a medical
sewage lagoon by SEND.
DATES: Interested parties may submit comments regarding the proposed
sale and renunciation of the lands until May 9, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to the Field Manager, Glennallen Field
Office, P.O. Box 147, Glennallen, AK 99588.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1961, a 210-acre parcel of Federal land
was
[[Page 20413]]
patented (patent number 1221491) to Central Alaska Missions Inc. (CAM)
under the authority of the R&PP Act of June 14, 1926, as amended, 43
U.S.C. 869, et seq. The non-profit CAM came to Glennallen, Alaska in
1957 to assist the Glennallen community and the surrounding area with
not-for-profit education, medical, and religious services. In 1963, an
additional 2.5 acres was patented (patent number 1232741) under the
same authority for the creation of a sewage lagoon to support the
medical facility constructed on the previous patented land. The patents
were subsequently transferred under provisions of the R&PP Act to the
current non-profit SEND North (SEND).
The purpose for which the lands can be used is restricted by a
reversionary clause in the patents, which returns title to the United
States if the tracts are used for other purposes not provided for in
the patents. The purpose of the direct sale is to dispose of the
reversionary interests in the patented lands which represent certain
restrictions and conditions that prevent SEND from using the land for
other purposes. The purpose of the renunciation is to release the
United States from liability for the sewage treatment lagoon. The
parcels proposed for direct sale and renunciation of the reversionary
interests are located in the business center of Glennallen, Alaska and
consist of two surveyed parcels containing approximately 210 acres and
2.5 acres and are described as:
Copper River Meridian, Alaska
T. 4 N., R. 2 W.,
Sec. 23, NE\1/4\, SE\1/4\SE\1/4\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, NW\1/4\NE\1/
4\SE\1/4\ and NW\1/4\SE\1/4\.
The areas described aggregate 212.50 acres.
The purpose of the direct sale and renunciation of the reversionary
interests is so the lands, patented to SEND, can be sold, transferred,
and/or used for other purposes. The R&PP Act reversionary clause in the
patents requires the patents be sold only to those qualified under the
R&PP Act and is used only for the purposes allowed under the R&PP Act,
or the patented land will revert back to the United States. These
parcels of land are located in the business center of Glennallen, which
is in a rural part of Alaska. SEND has experienced difficulty in
attracting potential buyers because of the reversionary clause in the
patents. SEND cannot find a buyer who is interested in the land and who
qualifies under the R&PP Act. A direct sale and renunciation of the
reversionary interests will allow SEND to sell or transfer the
properties to any citizen or organization in the United States and to
use the lands for any purpose, without the threat of a reversion of the
title for breach of patent conditions. This sale and renunciation would
reduce the Federal Government's and the BLM's liability in relation to
both parcels and allow for the merger of property interests to occur.
The non-competitive, direct sale and release are consistent with
the East Alaska Resource Management Plan approved in September 2007.
Authority for the sale and release of the reversionary interests is in
conformance with Section 202 of the Federal Land Policy and Management
Act (FLPMA) of October 21, 1976, as amended, and Section 203, whereas
the Secretary determines that the sale of the parcel meets the
following disposal criteria: Such tract is difficult and uneconomic to
manage because of its location or other characteristics, such as the
subject's history of use, current level of development, and is neither
required nor suitable for management by another Federal department or
agency. The lands are being offered for sale and renunciation using
direct sale procedures pursuant to 43 CFR 2711.3-3. The renunciation of
the reversionary interest in the 2.5 acres would take place pursuant to
