conveyance to The Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks Lodge No. 
1907 under the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act 
(R&PP) (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.), as amended by the Recreation and Public

    The lands, containing 30 acres, are not needed for federal 
purposes.

    Lease or conveyance is consistent with current BLM land use 
planning, and would be in the public interest. A lease or patent if 
issued will be subject to the following terms, conditions, and/or 
reservations:
    1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, the 
Recreation and Public Purposes Amendment Act, and all applicable 
regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. A right-of-way reservation of ditches and canals constructed by 
authority of the United States under the Act of August 30, 1890 (43 
E.S.C. 945).
    3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    4. A lease or patent may contain terms and conditions to indemnify 
the United States and its officers, agents, representatives, and 
employees from claims, loss, damage, actions, causes of action, 
expense, and liability attributable to the disposal or release of 
hazardous substances on the land described above. A patent may be 
issued without a reverter provision for some or all of the land, 
depending upon the location of sites potentially susceptible to 
disposal of or release of hazardous substances.
    5. Compliance with all Federal and State laws applicable to their 
disposal, placement, or release of hazardous substances. R&PP 
classification COC7703 dated October 1, 1980, is hereby terminated. 
R&PP classification COC36380, dated May 4, 1983, is hereby amended to

Area, 73544 Highway 64, Meeker, Colorado.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public 
land laws, including the general mining laws, except for conveyance

whether the land is physically suited for the proposal, 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.
    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

the suitability of the land for a recreation facility and trap shoot 
range. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In
