Bureau of Land Management, Farmington District Office, 1235 LaPlata 
Highway, Farmington, NM 87401.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Publication of this notice segregates the 
public land described above from all other 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 for a period of two (2) years 
from date of this publication in the Federal Register. The segregative 
affect will terminate upon issuance of the lease or patent to the City 
of Farmington, or two (2) years from the date of this publication, 
whichever occurs first.
    The lease, when issued, will be subject to the following terms:
    1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and to all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. Provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 
(RCRA) as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6901-6987 and the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) 
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 9601 and all applicable regulations.
    3. Provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
    4. Provisions that the lease be operated in compliance with the 
approved Development Plan.
    The patent, when issued, will be subject to the following terms:
    1. Reservation the United States of a right-of-way for ditches and 
canals in accordance with 43 U.S.C. 945.
    2. Reservation to the United States of all minerals.
    3. All valid existing rights, e.g. rights-of-way and leases of 
record.
    4. Provisions that if the patentee or its successor attempts to 
transfer title to or control over the land to another or the land is 
devoted to a use other than that for which the land was conveyed, 
without the consent of the Secretary of the Interior or his delegate, 
or prohibits or restricts, directly or indirectly, or permits its 
agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors, including without 
limitation, lessees, sublessees and permittees), to prohibit or 
restrict, directly or indirectly, the use of any part of the patented 
lands or any of the facilities whereon by any person because of such 
person's race, creed, color, or national origin, title shall revert to 
the United States.
    The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Leasing and later 
patenting is consistent with current Bureau of Land Management policies 
and land use planning. The estimated intended time of lease issuance is 
February 15, 1995, with the patent being issued upon substantial 
development taking place. The proposal serves the public interest 
because it would provide additional land necessary to expand a law 
enforcement officers' training facility to accommodate additional 
classroom areas and instructional areas for the officers and other 
publics.

    Dated: December 1, 1994.

Assistant District Manager for Lands and Renewable Resources.
