ACTION: Non-Competitive Sale of Public Lands in Nye County, Nevada.

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

SUMMARY: The following described public land in Pahrump, Nye County, 
Nevada, has been examined and found suitable for classification for 
sale utilizing non-competitive procedures, at not less than the fair 
market value. Authority for the sale is Section 203 and Section 209 of 
P.L. 94-579, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (U.S.C. 
1713 and 43 U.S.C. 1719).

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 21 S., R. 54 E.,
    Section 31, E\1/2\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\SE\1/4\

    Containing 5 acres, more or less.

    This parcel of land, situated in Pahrump, is being offered as a 
non-competitive FLPMA sale to Mr. Edward E. Wheeler. This land is not 
required for any federal purposes. The sale is consistent with current 
Bureau planning for this area and would be in the public interest.
    In the event of a sale, conveyance of the available mineral 
interests will occur simultaneously with the sale of the land. The 
mineral interests being offered for conveyance have no known mineral 
value. Acceptance of a direct sale offer will constitute an application 
for conveyance of those mineral interests. The applicant will be 
required to pay a $50.00 non-returnable filing fee for conveyance of 
the available mineral interests.
    The patent, when issued, will contain the following reservations to 
the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. Oil, gas, sodium, potassium and saleable minerals, and will be 
subject to:
    1. An easement for roads, public utilities and flood control 
purposes in accordance with the transportation plan for Nye County/the 
City of Pahrump. Upon publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register, the above described lands will continue to be segregated from 
all other forms appropriate under the public land laws including the 
general mining laws, except for sales and disposal under the mineral 
disposal laws. The segregative effect will end upon issuance of a 
patent or 270 days from the date of the publication, whichever occurs 
first.
    Publication of this notice in the Federal Register previously 
occurred on April 18, 1996 (61 FR 16933), July 13, 1995 (60 FR 36157) 
and, December 27, 1994 (59 FR 49251). The December 27, 1994, 
publication allowed for the required 45 day comment period. Publication 
of this notice will not initiate an additional comment period. The 
Bureau of Land Management may accept or reject any or all offers, or 
withdraw any land or interest in the land from sale, if, in the opinion 
of the authorized officer, consummation of the sale would not be fully 
consistent with FLPMA, or other applicable laws.
