Notice of Realty Action, Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) 
Act Classification; Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, DOI.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Eureka County has made application to purchase 80 acres of 
Bureau administered lands which are currently under an R&PP lease for 
use as a sewage treatment facility. The original 40 acres in the 
application were classified for lease or sale in 1979. The lease was 
amended in 1982 to include an additional 40 acres, which were 
classified for lease only. To avoid confusion as to which parcel needs 
to be classified for sale, the entire 80 acres are being classified for 
conveyance under the R&PP Act. The lease classification remains in 
effect. The following described land has been examined and found 
suitable for conveyance under the R&PP Act of June 14, 1926, as amended 
(43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.):

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 20 N., R. 53 E.,
    Sec. 35, E\1/2\NE\1/4\.

    Containing 80 acres, more or less.

    The lands are not required for Federal purposes. Conveyance is 
consistent with the Bureau's land use plan for the area and is in the 
public's interest.
