    The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Conveyance is

mine, and remove the minerals; and, those rights for electrical power 
purposes granted to Golden Valley Electric Association under BLM case 
file F-86999.

at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Northern District 
Office, 1150 University Avenue, Fairbanks, Alaska.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the 
public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for 
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing 
under the mineral leasing laws. For a period of 45 days from the date 
of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, interested 
persons may submit comments regarding the proposed conveyance or 
classification of the lands to the District Manager, Northern District

    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a solid waste transfer 
station. Comments on the classification are restricted to 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 
in reaching the decision, or any other factor not directly related to 
the suitability of the land for a solid waste transfer station.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become 
effective 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the
