Notice of Realty Action--Recreation and Public Purpose (R&PP) Act 
Classification; New Mexico

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is to advise that the following public lands in 
Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, have been examined and found suitable 
for classification for conveyance to the Lindrith Baptist Church under 
the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purpose Act, as amended (43 
U.S.C. 869 et seq.). The Lindrith Baptist Church proposes to use the 
lands for cemetery sites.

New Mexico Principal Meridian

T. 24 N., R. 2 W.,
    Sec. 20, W\1/2\NE\1/4\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\, E\1/2\NW\1/4\SW\1/4\SE\1/
4\.
T. 25 N., R. 3 W.,
    Sec. 22, NE\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 20 acres.

    The lands would not be leased prior to being patented to the 
Lindrith Baptist Church. A patent under the Recreation and Public 
Purpose Act is consistent with current BLM land use planning and would 
be in the public interest. The lands are not needed for Federal 
purposes.
    The patent, when issued, will be subject to the following terms, 
conditions and reservations:
    1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and to all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. 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.
    3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    4. Those rights for a pipeline granted to El Paso Natural Gas 
Company by right-of-way NMNM 021486.
    5. Any other reservation that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interest therein.
    Detailed information concerning this action is available for review 
at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Rio Puerco Resource 
Area, 435 Montano NE., Albuquerque, New Mexico.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public 
laws, including the general mining laws, except for conveyance under 
the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws. For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register, interested persons may submit 
comments regarding the proposed conveyance or classification of lands 
to the District Manager, Bureau of Land Management, 435 Montano NE, 
Albuquerque, New Mexico 87107.

CLASSIFICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a 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 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 cemetaries.
    Any adverse comments will be revised 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: April 4, 1994.
Michael R. Ford,
District Manager.
