ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The following described public lands near the community of St. 
George, Utah have been examined and found suitable for lease or 
conveyance to Washington County under the provisions of the Recreation 
and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.):

Salt Lake Meridian

    T. 42 S., R. 14 W., sec. 3, lots 6, 7, 9-11, 18, and 20; 
Containing 248.58 acres.

DATES: Comments must be submitted by October 2, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to the Area Manager, Dixie Resource 
Area Office, 345 E. Riverside Drive, St. George, Utah 84790.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Randy Massey, Realty Specialist, (801) 
673-4654, extension 274.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Washington County proposes to use the land 
for a horse race track, fairgrounds and associated facilities. The 
lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Lease or conveyance is not 
consistent with current BLM land use planning, so a notice of a plan 
amendment is running concurrently with this notice. Any comments 
received regarding the proposed plan amendment, will be considered and 
a decision made as to whether the plan will be amended to allow this 
action. No action will be taken to lease the described land until the 
Virgin River Management Framework Plan has been amended to allow this 
action. No comments were received when the Notice to Intent to Amend 
the Virgin River MFP was published.
    The lease/patent, when issued, would be subject to the following 
terms, conditions, and reservations:
    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 for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States.

    3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    4. Those rights for power transmission line purposes granted to 
Pacificorp and Hurricane City by rights-of-way No. U-0140800 and U-
71166.
    5. Those rights for natural gas pipeline purposes granted to 
Mountain Fuel Supply Company by rights-of-way No. U-62308 and U-71320.
    6. Those rights for a water treatment facility and water pipeline 
granted to St. George City by right-of-way U-60051.
    Detailed information concerning this action is available for review 
at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Dixie Resource Area 
Office, 345 E. Riverside Drive, St. George, Utah 84770.
    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 lease 
or conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing 
under the mineral leasing laws. For a period of 45 days from the date 
of publication of this notice, interested persons may submit comments 
regarding the proposed lease/conveyance or classification of the lands 
at the Area Manager, Dixie Resource Area Office. 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.
James D. Crisp,
Area Manager.
