Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

    Comprising 1827.51 acres, more or less.

    The patent, when issued, will contain the following reservations to 
the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon 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.
    2. Oil, gas, and geothermal resources

And will be subject to:
    Those rights for powerline purposes which have been granted to 
Sierra Pacific Power Co., its successors or assignees, by right-of-way 
grant N-39444 under the authority of the Act of October 21, 1976 (90 
Stat. 2776; 43 U.S.C. 1761).
    The grazing preference on the selected lands would be reduced by 
283 AUMs from the grazing permit held by Elko Land and Livestock as a 
result of this action. Unless the two-year notification is waived for 
the above reduction, the reduction would occur on December 5, 1996, in 
accordance with the regulations contained in 43 CFR 4110.4.
    In exchange for these lands, the United States will acquire the 
following described land from Barrick Goldstrike Mines, Inc.:

T. 32 N., R. 55 E., MDM.,
    Section 5: All that portion north of the centerline of the South 
Fork of the Humboldt River.

    Comprising 403.32 acres, more or less.

    The purpose of this exchange is to acquire non-Federal land located 
within the South Fork Canyon Special Recreation Management Area that 
has high values for riparian and wildlife habitat and public 
recreation. The public interest will be well served by completing the 
exchange. Barrick will acquire the mineral and surface estate in and to 
the Federal lands, subject to a reservation to the United States of 
oil, gas and geothermal resources. The United States will acquire an 
undivided one-half interest in the mineral estate in and to the non-
Federal lands.
    The above described lands will be subject to an appraisal to 
determine the value of the lands to be exchanged. If necessary, land 
values may be equalized through an acreage adjustment and/or a payment 
by the exchange proponent in accordance with 43 CFR 2201.5(c)(2). 
Subject to Barrick's millsite patent applications N-56424 and N-56425, 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register will segregate the 
subject lands from all appropriations under the public land laws, 
including the mining laws, mineral leasing laws, and the Geothermal 
Stream Act. The segregation will terminate upon issuance of the patent 
or upon publication in the Federal Register of a termination of 
segregation, or two years from date of publication, whichever occurs 
first.
    Further information concerning the exchange, including the 
environmental assessment, is available for review at the Bureau of Land 
Management, 3900 E. Idaho Street, Elko, Nevada 89801. For a period of 
45 days from the date of publication of this Notice of Realty Action in 
the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments on the 
proposed land exchange and Environmental Assessment to the Elko 
District Office, Bureau of Land Management, Attn: Kenneth Nelson, 
Realty Specialist P.O. Box 831, Elko, Nevada 89803. All objections will 
be reviewed by the Nevada State Director, who may sustain, vacate, or 
modify this realty action. In the absence of timely filed objections 
this realty action shall become the final determination of the 
Department of the Interior.

    Dated: December 8, 1994.
Rodney Harris,
District Manager.
