DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
[CO-070-1430-01; COC 57652]


Realty Action; Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act 
Classification; Eagle County, Colorado

Agency: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

Summary: In response to an application from Eagle County, Colorado, the 
following public lands have been examined and found suitable for 
classification for conveyance to Eagle County, Colorado, under the 
provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43 
U.S.C. 869 et seq.). The lands would be used for a highway maintenance 
facility.

Sixth Principal Meridian

T. 2S., R. 84W.,
    Sec. 9: lot 2.

    Containing 2.28 acres, more or less.

    The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Conveyance of the 
lands is consistent with current BLM land use planning and would be in 
the public interest.
    A patent, if issued, will be subject to the following reservations, 
terms, and conditions:
    1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and to all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by 
authority of the United States. Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    3. All the mineral deposits in the lands so patented, and the right 
of the United States, or persons authorized by the United States, to 
prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the same under 
applicable laws and regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may 
prescribe.
    4. The subject lands are withdrawn for power purposes by Power Site 
Classification No. 244, approved August 29, 1919. The United States 
reserves the right to itself, its permittees or licensees to enter 
upon, occupy and use any part or all of the lands necessary for power 
purposes under Part 1 of the Federal Power Act of August 26, 1935, as 
amended (16 U.S.C. 818) upon payment of damages to buildings or other 
improvements caused by such entry. Any improvements or structures 
placed upon the land which shall be found to interfere with such power 
development shall be removed or relocated as may be necessary to 
eliminate interference with power development at no cost to the United 
States, its permittees or licensees.
    5. A reservation for those rights for buried telephone line 
purposes as have been granted to Eagle Telecommunications, Inc., its 
successors and assigns, by right-of-way Colorado 27649 under the Act of 
February 15, 1901, as amended (43 U.S.C. 959).
    6. A reservation for those rights for road purposes as have been 
granted to Eagle County, its successors and assigns, by right-of-way 
Colorado 43109 under the Act of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761).
    7. Title shall revert to the United States upon a finding, after 
notice and opportunity for a hearing, that, without the approval of the 
Secretary of the Interior or his delegate, the patentee or its approved 
successor attempts to transfer title to or control over the lands to 
another, the lands have been devoted to a use other than that for which 
the lands were conveyed, or the lands have not been used for the 
purpose for which the lands were conveyed for a 5-year period. Provided 
further that the Secretary of the Interior may take action to revest 
title in the United States if the patentee directly or indirectly 
permits its agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors 
(including without limitation lessees, sublessees, and permittees) to 
prohibit or restrict the use of any part of the patented lands or any 
of the facilities thereon by any person because of such person's race, 
creed, color, sex, or national origin.

R&PP CLASSIFICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a highway maintenance 
facility.
    Comments on the classification are restricted to whether the land 
is physically suited for a highway maintenance facility, whether the 
use will maximize the future use or uses of the land, whether the use 
is consistent with local planning and zoning, or if the use is 
consistent with State and Federal programs.

R&PP 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 a highway maintenance facility.
    Comments received on the classification will be answered by the 
State Director with the right to further comment to the Secretary. 
Comments on the application will be answered by the State Director with 
the right of appeal to the Interior Board of Land Appeals. Detailed 
information concerning this action is available for review at the 
office of the Bureau of Land Management, Grand Junction District, 2815 
H Road, Grand Junction, Colorado.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the 
public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for 
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act. The 
segregative effect shall terminate upon issuance of a patent, upon 
final rejection of the application, or two years from the date of 
filling of the applications, whichever occurs first.
