AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Designation of public lands located in Archuleta County, 
Colorado, as being suitable for disposal out of federal ownership 
through sale.

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

SUMMARY: The following described public lands have been determined to 
be suitable for disposal by sale utilizing non-competitive procedures, 
at not less than the fair market value as determined by an appraisal 
completed by a Federal or independent appraiser using the principles 
contained in the ``Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land 
Acquisitions''. Authority for the sale is Section 203 of Public Law 94-
597, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976.

    Containing 3.48 acres.

    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. This 
land is being offered as a direct non-competitive sale to Navajo River 
Ranch, L.C.C. BLM has determined a direct sale is necessary to protect

of the land.
    In the event of sale, the mineral interests shall be conveyed 
simultaneously with the surface interest. The mineral interests being 
offered for conveyance have no known mineral value. Upon acceptance of 
a direct sale offer, the purchaser shall be required to make 
application for conveyance of those mineral interests.
    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 law. This segregation will 
terminate upon
