    This land is being offered for direct sale to the City of 
Hurricane, Utah, for a municipal golf course. Disposal of this tract 
would serve important public objectives, including community expansion 
and economic development. Pursuant to Section 209 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1719) the City has made 
application to purchase the mineral estate of the above described land.
    The patent, when issued, would reserve to the United States:
    A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed under the 
authority of the Act of August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. 391, 43 U.S.C. 945 
(1970)).
    The patent would also be subject to the following existing rights:
    1. Rights-of-way to the City of Hurricane for a road and powerline, 
serial number U-55652, and sewer line, serial number U-44040.
    2. Right-of-way to the Utah Association of Municipal Power for a 
powerline, serial number U-72212.
    In conjunction with this land sale, there is an exchange being 
processed with the City of Hurricane which involves public lands 
adjacent to the 32.5 acres proposed for sale. These lands are currently 
under a Recreation and Public lease. There are 155 acres currently 
classified for Recreation and Public Purposes, located in the S\1/2\ 
section 29, T. 43 S., R. 13 W. For a complete legal description of 
these lands contact the Dixie Resource Area Office at the address 
listed below. The classification for these lands will be terminated 
upon issuance of a patent conveying title to the public lands.
    Detailed information concerning these reservations as well as 
specific conditions of the sale are available for review at the Dixie 
Resource Area Office Bureau of Land Management, 345 East Riverside 
Drive, St. George.
    For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments to the 
Area Manager, Dixie Resource Area, at the above address. In the absence 
of timely objections, this proposal shall become the final 
determination of the Department of the Interior.
