Realty Action--Recreation and Public Purpose (R&PP) Act 
Classification; New Mexico

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is to advise that the following public lands in 
Sandoval County, New Mexico, have been examined and found suitable for 
classification for conveyance to the Torreon Navajo Mission/Dunkard 
Brethern Church under the provisions of the R&PP Act, as amended (43 
U.S.C. 869 et seq.) at not less than the appraised fair market value 
(FMV) of $2,000. The Torreon Navajo Mission/Dunkard Brethern Church 
proposes to use the land for cemetery purposes.

New Mexico Principal Meridian

    T. 18 N., R. 3 W., sec. 8, N\1/2\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, W\1/
2\SW\1/4\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\ and E\1/2\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\SW\1/
4\.

    The area described contains 7.500 acres.

    The lands would not be leased prior to being patented to the 
Torreon Navajo Mission/Dunkard Brethern Church. A patent under the 
Recreation and Public Purpose Act is consistent with current BLM land 
use planning and would be in the public interest. The lands are not 
needed for Federal purposes.
    The patent, when issued, will be subject to the following terms, 
conditions and reservations.
    1. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to all applicable Regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. A right-of-way for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890, 
26 Stat. 391, 43 U.S.C. 945.
    3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and such deposits from the same 
under applicable law and such, regulations as the Secretary of the 
Interior may prescribe.
    4. Those rights for a pipeline granted to Cortez Company Inc. by 
Right-of-Way NMNM 29081.
    5. Any other reservation that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interest therein.
    Detailed information concerning this action is available for review 
at the Office of the Bureau of Land Management, Rio Puerco Resource 
Area, 435 Montano NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public 
laws, including the general mining laws, except for conveyance under 
the R&PP Act and leasing under the mineral leasing laws. For a period 
of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register, (August 7, 1995), interested persons may submit comments 
regarding the proposed conveyance or classification of lands to the 
District Manager, Bureau of Land Management, 435 Montano NE, 
Albuquerque, New Mexico 87107.

CLASSIFICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a cemetery. Comments on the 
classification are restricted to whether the land is physically suited 
for the proposal, whether the use is consistent with local planning and 
zoning, or if the use is consistent with State and Federal programs.

APPLICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments regarding 
the specific use proposed in the application and plan of development, 
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching 
the decision, or any other factor not directly related to the 
suitability of the land for cemetery.
    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 in the 
Federal Register (August 22, 1995).
