Utah; Notice of Proposed Classification of Public Lands for State 
Indemnity Selection

    1. The State of Utah Division of State Lands and Forestry has filed 
a petition for classification and application to acquire the public 
lands, described in paragraph 5 below, under the provisions of Sections 
2275 and 2276 of the Revised Statutes, as amended (43 U.S.C. 851, 852), 
in lieu of certain school lands granted to the State under the Act of 
July 16, 1894; (28 Stat. 107), that were encumbered by other rights or 
reservations before the State's title could attach. This application 
has been assigned Serial Number UTU-71695.
    2. The Bureau of Land Management will examine these lands for 
evidence of prior valid rights or other statutory constraints that 
would bar transfer. This proposed classification is pursuant to Title 
43, Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart 2400; Section 7 of the Act of 
June 28, 1934.
    3. Information concerning these lands and the proposed transfer to 
the State of Utah may be obtained from Mike Crocker, Utah State Office, 
324 South State Street, P.O. Box 45155, Salt Lake City, Utah 84145-
0155, 801-539-4118.
    4. For a period of 60 days from the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, all persons who wish to submit 
comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed 
classification may present

their views in writing to the State Director, Bureau of Land 
Management, P.O. Box 45155, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84145-0155. Any 
adverse comments will be evaluated by the State Director who will issue 
a notice of determination to proceed with, modify, or cancel the 
action. In the absence of any action by the State Director, this 
classification action will become the final determination of the 
Department of the Interior.
    As provided by Title 43 Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart 
2450.4(c), public hearing may be scheduled by the State Director if he 
determines that sufficient public interest exists to warrant the time 
and expense of a hearing.
    5. The lands included in the proposed classification are located in 
Millard County, Utah, Township 21 South, Range 19 West, Salt Lake 
Meridian, containing 200.00 acres.
