Notice of Realty Action: Non-Competitive Lease of Public Land in Pondera County, MT
The public land proposed for lease includes about five acres which has a long history of use by the family that owns the improvements on it. The historic cabin and other limited improvements are associated with adjacent private land that was homesteaded and patented in 1907. The previous lessee passed away unbeknownst to BLM and the lease expired. However, the family continued to pay the rent in the interim. Members of the family are now seeking to lease the land again because they own the improvements and have long-standing historical family ties to the property. The five-acre tract is adjacent to the applicant's private land and is part of the applicant's BLM grazing allotment. Disposal of the land at this time via public sale is not an option because it is within a retention zone per the Land Use Plan for that area. The following described public lands are suitable for lease under Section 302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1732:
