Realty Action--Recreation and Public Purposes Act Classification 
Amendment; Washoe County, NV

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of classification amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is to advise that the following described land has 
been examined and is determined to be suitable for classification for 
sale to Air Sailing, Inc. under the provision of the Recreation and 
Public Purposes Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.):

Mt. Diablo Meridian

T. 23 N., R. 20 E.,
    Sec. 11, E\1/2\SW\1/4\NE\1/4\, W\1/2\1SE\1/4\,
    Sec. 14, W\1/2\E\1/2\.

    Containing 260 acres.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 21, 1970, the public lands as 
described above were classified for lease only under the Recreation and 
Public Purposes Act for a gliderport facility. Following classification 
and lease of this land, adjacent public lands were classified as 
suitable for either lease or sale pursuant to the Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act to allow for expansion. Air Sailing Inc. has requested to 
exercise their purchase option on the lands currently under lease that 
were classified for lease or sale (220 acres) and has also requested 
that the lands originally classified for lease only (260 acres) also be 
made available for sale. Purchase is requested to protect Air Sailing's 
substantial investment in existing and on-going improvements and to 
allow for future expansion of the gliderport facilities in accordance 
with their plan of development. Sale of the lands is consistent with 
the current BLM land use planning and would be in the public interest. 
The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. The patent when issued 
would be subject to the provisions of the Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act and all applicable regulations of the Secretary of 
Interior and the following reservations to the United States:
    1. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine and remove such deposits from the 
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of 
Interior may prescribe.

And will be subject to:
    1. An existing road for public access purposes which traverses the 
lands at the E\1/2\SW\1/4\NE\1/4\, section 11, T. 23 N., R. 20 E.

CLASSIFICATION AMENDMENT COMMENTS: For a period of 45 days from the 
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, interested 
parties may submit comments. Written comments regarding the 
classification amendment should be sent to the Area Manager, Lahontan 
Resource Area, Bureau of Land Management, 1535 Hot Springs Road, Suite 
300, Carson City, Nevada. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the 
District Manager. In the absence of adverse comments, the 
classification amendment will become effective 60 days from the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

    Dated: December 13, 1994.
James M. Phillips,
Area Manager, Lahontan Resource Area.
