the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to

appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.

California, to Burlington Northern Santa
Fe (BNSF), LLC, a Delaware

Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as amended, and
BLM land sale regulations. The purpose
of the non-competitive land sale to

carriers. The sale will be for no less than
the appraised fair market value (FMV) of
$98,000.
DATES: Interested parties may submit

The areas described aggregate 30
acres, according to the official plat of
the survey on file with the BLM.
The proposed sale of the parcels
described above is in conformance with
the land use plan as the parcels have
been designated as Development Focus
Areas available for disposal in the
California Desert Conservation Area
Plan of 1980, as amended by the Desert
Renewable Energy Conservation Plan of
2016. Conveyance of any mineral
interests pursuant to section 209 of
FLPMA have been analyzed as a part of
this transaction, and the authorized
officer determined that all mineral
interests will be reserved to the United
States. The land sale meets the criteria
for a direct sale under 43 CFR 2711.3–
3(a) and is consistent with Section
203(a)(3) of FLPMA, which states:
‘‘Disposal of such tract will serve
important public objectives, including
but not limited to expansion of
communities and economic
development.’’
Publication of this notice in the
Federal Register will segregate the
above-described lands from
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, except
the sale provisions of FLPMA, pursuant
to the requirements of 43 CFR 2711.1–
2(d). All parcels are subject to valid
existing rights. Parcels may also be
subject to mining claims, rights-of-way,
or other 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 federally approved FMV of
a parcel. Encumbrances of record,
appearing in the BLM public files for
the parcels proposed for sale, are
available for review during business
hours 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time,
Monday through Friday, at the BLM
Barstow Field Office (see ADDRESSES).
Subject to limitations prescribed by law
and regulation, prior to patent issuance,
a holder of any right-of-way within the
parcels may be given the opportunity to
amend the right-of-way for conversion
to a new term, including perpetuity, if
applicable, or to an easement. Until
completion of the sale, the BLM will no
longer accept land use applications
affecting the identified public lands,
except applications for the amendment
of previously filed right-of-way
applications or existing authorizations
to increase the term of the grants in
accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 and
2886.15. Conveyance of the identified
public land would be subject to valid
existing rights of record and the

conveyed lands.
4. Additional terms and conditions
that the authorized officer deems
appropriate.

Register, unless extended by the BLM
State Director in accordance with 43

termination date. Detailed information
concerning the proposed land sale
including the Environmental
