Kern County, California

Containing Approximately 2.18 acres a portion of AP #348-060-03

    The Kern County Sheriff's Search and Rescue organization proposes 
to use the lands for storage of equipment and vehicles used in search 
and rescue operations, to include building enclosures, and parking and 
maintenance areas. The site provides a central location for quick 
response to emergency situations.
    The lands are not needed for Federal purposes at the present time. 
Lease is consistent with current BLM land use planning and would be in 
the public interest. The land is currently withdrawn for Power Project 
382 and Power Site Reservation 655. The Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission has no objection to the lease of public land subject to 
condition #1 below.
    The lease, when issued, will be subject to the following terms, 
conditions, and reservations:
    1. That the United States, its permittees, lessees, and licensees, 
shall not be responsible or held liable or incur any liability for the 
damage, destruction, or loss of any land, crops, facility installed or 
erected, income, or other property or investments resulting from the 
use of such lands, or portions thereof, for hydroelectric development 
at any time where such hydroelectric development is made by or under 
the authority of the United States. Furthermore, in the event the 
reserved lands are required for hydroelectric development, any 
structures or improvements placed thereon found to interfere with such 
development shall be removed or relocated as necessary to eliminate 
such interference at no cost to the United States, its permittees, or 
licensees.
    2. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and to all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    3. A right-of-way 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).
    4. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    5. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land 
records at the time of lease issuance.
    6. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interests therein.
    Detailed information concerning this action is available for review 
at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Caliente Resource Area, 
4301 Rosedale Highway, Bakersfield, California.
    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 Recreation and Public Proposes Act and leasing under the 
mineral leasing laws. For a period of 45 days from the date of 
publication of this notice, until April 29, 1994, interested persons 
may submit comments regarding the proposed lease or classification of 
the lands to the Area Manger, Caliente Resource Area Office, 4301 
Rosedale Highway, Bakersfield, CA 93308.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a vehicle and equipment 
storage facility. 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 parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of 
development, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures 
in reaching the decision, or any other factor not directly related to 
the suitability of the land for a vehicle and equipment storage 
facility.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become 
effective 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.

    Dated: February 8, 1994.
