Realty Action; Noncompetitive (Direct) Sale of Public Land in 
Grand County, UT

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action, UTU-69262, Noncompetitive (Direct) 
Sale of public land in Grand County, Utah.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is given that the following described parcel of public 
land has been examined, and through the development of local land-use 
planning decisions, based upon public input, resource considerations, 
regulations, and Bureau policies, the parcel has been found suitable 
for disposal by sale pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy 
and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) (90 Stat. 2750; 43 U.S.C. 1713) 
using noncompetitive (direct) sale procedures (43 CFR 2711.3-3):

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah

T. 21 S., R. 20 E.,
    Section 21, S1/2NE1/4NE1/4.

    The above described land aggregates 20.00 acres more or less.
    The parcel is difficult and uneconomic to manage as part of the 
public lands, is not needed for any resource programs, and is not 
suitable for management by the Bureau or any other Federal department 
or agency. The parcel (UTU-69262) is being offered as a noncompetitive 
(direct) sale in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3-3 to the Grand County 
Solid Waste Management Special Service District No. 1 (GCSWMSSD#1) for 
a disposal site/drop box facility.
    The land will not be offered for sale until at least sixty (60) 
days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The sale 
will be at no less than the appraised fair market value of $4,000.00.
    Publication of this notice in the Federal Register constitutes 
notice to the grazing permittee's, The Nature Conservancy and J. Golden 
Bair, that their grazing leases are directly effected by this action. 
Specifically, the subject lands are presently used for livestock and 
sheep grazing, involving the Cisco Allotment--# 05885. The Nature 
Conservancy (Grazing Record # 436309--cattle) and J. Golden Bair 
(Grazing Record # 436302--sheep) both hold the grazing privileges for 
the 20.00 acre parcel. The estimated permitted grazing capacity of 
these lands is 1-2 AUMs, however, there would be no reduction in the 
grazing permittee's grazing preference as a result of this action. The 
land (acreage) will have to be excluded from the allotment effective 
upon issuance of the patent. There are no authorized range improvements 
on the subject lands.
    Publication of this notice in the Federal Register segregates the 
public land from the operation of the public land laws and the mining 
laws. The segregative effect will end upon issuance of a patent, or two 
hundred seventy (270) days from the date of the publication, whichever 
occurs first.
    The Terms and Conditions Applicable to the Sales Are:
    1. All minerals, including oil and gas, shall be reserved to the 
United States, together with the right to prospect for, mine and remove 
the minerals.
    2. A right-of-way will be reserved 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. The sale of land will be subject to all valid existing rights, 
reservations, and privileges of record. Existing rights, reservations, 
and privileges of record include, but are not limited to: Federal Oil 
and Gas Lease, Serial Number UTU-55509, to Mr. Arch W. Deuel.
    Sale Procedures: The buyer will be required to submit the fair 
market value of the property on the date of the sale. The land will be
