Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 30 N, R. 34 E,
    Sec. 24, SW\1/4\NW\1/4\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\SE\1/
4\SW\1/4\, NE\1/4\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, NW\1/4\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\SW\1/
4\.
    The area described contains 10 acres.

    Conveyance of the lands for recreational or public purposes use is 
in conformance with the BLM Winnemucca District Resource Management 
Plan dated May 2015, and would be in the public interest.
    All interested parties will receive a copy of this Notice once it 
is published in the Federal Register. A copy of the Federal Register 
Notice will be published in the newspaper of local circulation once a 
week for three consecutive weeks. The regulations at 43 CFR 2741 
addressing requirements and procedures for conveyances under the R&PP 
Act do not require a public meeting.
    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 locations under the mining laws, except for 
lease or conveyance under the R&PP Act and leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws. The segregative effect shall terminate upon issuance of a 
patent, upon final rejection of the application, or 18 months from the 
date of this notice, whichever occurs first.

[[Page 59838]]

    The conveyance of the land, will be subject to the following terms, 
conditions, and reservations:
    1. Rights-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States Act of August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. 391; 43 
U.S.C. 945).
    2. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to all applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior.
    3. All mineral deposits in the land so patented, and the right to 
prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the same under 
applicable law and regulations as established by the Secretary of the 
Interior are reserved to the United States, together with all necessary 
access and exit rights.
    4. Lease or conveyance of the parcel is subject to valid existing 
rights.
    5. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the patentee's use, occupancy, or 
occupation on the leased/patented lands.
    6. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interests therein.
    7. A limited reversionary provision stating that title 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 approved 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. No portion of 
the land shall, under any circumstance, revert to the United States if 
any such portion has been used for solid waste disposal or for any 
other purpose which may result in the disposal, placement, or release 
of any hazardous substance.
    Classification Comments: Interested persons may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for development and use as a 
cemetery, while maintaining, preserving, and improving the cemetery. 
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 if the use is consistent with state and 
Federal programs.
    Application Comments: Interested persons may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of 
development and management, whether the BLM followed proper 
administrative procedures in reaching the decision, or any other factor 
not directly relating to the suitability of the lands for the use as a 
cemetery, while maintaining, preserving, and improving the cemetery.
    Any adverse comments 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 the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become 
effective on January 6, 2020. The lands will not be offered for 
conveyance until after the classification becomes effective.
    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in any comment, 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.
