Purposes Act Classification for Conveyance of Public Lands in Box Elder 
County, UT

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined and found 
suitable for classification under Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act, 
and conveyance under the provisions of the Recreation and Public 
Purposes (R&PP) Act, as amended, 0.36 acres of public land in Box Elder 
County, Utah. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources proposes to 
assume ownership of a 70 ft. wide by 221.56 ft.-long parcel of land 
with an existing building that has been used as field quarters for 
personnel and cooperators working in northwestern Box Elder County, 
Utah.

DATES: Comments regarding the proposed classification for conveyance of 
public land must be submitted to the Field Manager, Salt Lake Field 
Office, at the address below on or before October 6, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to the Bureau of Land 
Management, Field Manager, Salt Lake Field Office, 2370 South Decker 
Lake Blvd., West Valley City, UT 84119. Comments may also be submitted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land has been 
examined and found suitable for classification for conveyance under the 
provisions of Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act 43 U.S.C., Sec. 315f, 
and the provisions of the R&PP Act as amended:

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah

T. 10 N., R. 15 W.,

    Sec. 6, Lot 10.

    The area described contains 0.36 acres.

    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose and is not of 
national significance. Conveyance is consistent with the BLM Box Elder 
Resource Management Plan-May 1986, and would be in the public interest. 
The BLM conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in May 2014, 
and no hazardous substances, petroleum products, or recognized 
environmental conditions were identified on the parcel. The BLM posted 
the Environmental Assessment (EA) DOI-BLM-UT-W010-2014-0018-EA and an 
unsigned Finding of No Significant Impact on January 29, 2016, for a 
30-day comment period. Comments will be considered before a final 
decision on the action is made. The conveyance document, if issued, 
would convey the surface estate of the United States, subject to the 
provisions of the R&PP Act and applicable regulations of the Secretary 
of the Interior and would contain the following reservations, terms and 
conditions:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by 
authority of the United States pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890, 
43 U.S.C. 945.
    2. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the patentee's use, occupancy, or 
occupations on the patented lands.
    3. The land conveyed shall revert to the United States upon a 
finding, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, that, without the 
approval of the Secretary of the Interior or his delegate, the patentee 
or its successor attempts to transfer title to or control over the 
lands to another, the lands have been devoted to a use other than that 
for which the lands were conveyed, the lands have not been used for the 
purpose for which the lands were conveyed for a 5-year period, or the 
patentee has failed to follow the approved development plan or 
management plan.
    4. Any other terms or conditions that the Authorized Officer 
determines appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of 
the Federal land and interests therein. Detailed information concerning 
this proposed project, including, but not limited to documentation 
relating to compliance with applicable environmental and cultural 
resource laws, is available for review at the BLM-Utah Salt Lake Field 
Office at the address above.
    The surface estate of the land described above was acquired by the 
United States in 1973 in an exchange pursuant to the Taylor Grazing 
Act, and the land has not been opened to appropriation under the public 
land laws. Publication of this notice serves to open the lands to 
disposition under the R&PP Act only.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for the proposed use. Comments on 
the classification are restricted to whether the land is physically 
suited for the proposal, whether the use will maximize the future use 
(or uses) of the land, whether the use is consistent with local 
planning and zoning, or whether the use is consistent with State and 
Federal programs.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and management 
plan, and whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in 
reaching the decision to convey under the R&PP Act. The BLM-Utah State 
Director will review any adverse comments and may sustain, vacate or 
modify this realty action. In the absence of any adverse comments, the 
classification will become effective on October 21, 2016. The land will 
not be available for conveyance until after the decision becomes 
effective.
    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other

information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2741.5.

Acting State Director.
