SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action is a motion by the Bureau of 
Land Management to make lands available to support community expansion. 
These lands were identified in the Yuma District Resource Management 
Plan, as amended, as having potential for disposal. Lease or conveyance 
of the lands for recreational or public purposes would be in the public 
interest.
    Lease or conveyance of the lands will be subject to the following 
terms, conditions, and reservations:
    1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. Rights-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States.
    3. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land 
records at the time of lease/patent issuance.
    4. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    5. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interests therein.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public 
land laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease or 
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing 
under the mineral leasing laws, and the mineral material disposal laws.

DATES: On or before November 14, 1994, interested persons may submit 
comments regarding the proposed lease/conveyance or classification of 
the lands to the District Manager, Yuma District Office, 3150 Winsor 
Avenue, Yuma, Arizona 85365, (602) 726-6300. 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.
    Upon the effective date of classification, the lands will be open 
to the filing of an application under the Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act by any interested, qualified applicant. If, after 18 
months following the effective date of classification, an application 
has not been filed, the segregative effect of the classification shall 
automatically expire and the lands classified shall return to their 
former status without further action by the authorized officer.
