Section 30: Lot 3.

    Containing 36.62 acres, more or less.

    This land is not required for any federal purposes. The sale is 
consistent with current Bureau planning for this area and would be in 
the public interest. In the event of a sale, conveyance of the 
available mineral interests will occur simultaneously with the sale of 
the land. The mineral interests being offered for conveyance have no 
known mineral value. Acceptance of a direct sale offer will constitute 
an application for conveyance of those mineral interests. The applicant 
will be required to pay a $50.00 nonreturnable filing fee for the 
conveyance of the available mineral interests.
    The patent, when issued, will contain the following reservations to 
the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. All the oil and gas mineral deposits in the land subject to this 
conveyance, including without limitation, the disposition of these 
substances under the mineral leasing laws. Its permittee, licensees and 
lessees, the right to prospect for, mine and remove the mineral owned 
by the United States under applicable law and such regulations as the 
Secretary of the Interior may prescribe. This reservation includes all 
necessary and incidental activities conducted in accordance with the 
provisions of the mineral leasing laws in effect at the time such 
activities are undertaken, including, without limitation, necessary 
access and exit rights, all drilling, underground, or surface mining 
operation, storage and transportation facilities deemed necessary and 
authorized under law and implementing regulations. Unless otherwise 
provided by separate agreement with surface owner, permittee, licensees 
and lessees of the United States shall reclaim disturbed areas to the 
extent prescribed by regulations issued by the Secretary of the 
Interior. All cause of action brought to enforce the rights of the 
surface owner under the regulations above referred to shall be 
instituted against permittee, licensees and lessees of the United 
States; and the United States shall not be liable for the acts or 
omissions of its permittee, licensees and lessees. Upon publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register, the above described land will be 
segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the public land 
laws, including the general mining laws, except leasing under the 
mineral leasing laws. This segregation will terminate upon issuance of 
a patent or 270 days from the date of this publication, whichever 
occurs first.
    On or before April 1, 1996, interested parties may submit comments 
regarding this action to the Area Manager, Egan Resource Area at the 
address listed above. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the 
State Director who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. 
In absence of any adverse comments, this realty action will become the 
final determination of the Department of the Interior. The Bureau of 
Land Management may accept or reject any or all offers, or withdraw any 
land or interest in the land from sale, if, in the opinion of the 
authorized officer, consummation of the sale would not be fully 
consistent with FLPMA, or other applicable laws. The lands will not be 
offered for sale until at least 60 days after the date of publication 
of this notice in the Federal Register.
    Dated: February 1, 1996.
Gene A. Kolkman,
District Manager.
