Proposed Classification Decision, State Indemnity Selection

    The Utah State School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration 
has filed a petition for classification and application to acquire the 
public lands, including the mineral estate, described below, under the 
provisions of Act of Congress of August 17, 1958 (72 Stat. 928) as 
amended, and the acts supplementary and amendatory thereto. This 
application has been assigned Serial Number UTU-76188.
    The Bureau of Land Management will examine these lands for evidence 
of prior valid existing rights or other statutory constraints that 
would bar transfer. This proposed classification is pursuant to Title 
43, CFR 2400; and Section 7 of the Act of June 28, 1934.
    Information concerning these lands and the proposed transfer to the 
State of Utah may be obtained from the Bureau of Land Management, 
Richfield District Office, 150 East 900 North, Richfield, Utah 84701.
    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, 324 South State Street, 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 CFR 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.
    The lands included in the proposed classification are located 
within Garfield County, Utah, and are described as follows:

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah

T. 36 S., R. 11 E.,
    Section 15: All
    Section 29: W\1/2\SW\1/4\, SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, W\1/2\SE\1/4\
T. 37 S., R. 11 E.,
Section 5: All.

    Containing 1480 acres.

    Individuals and corporations holding valid leases, permits, and/or 
rights-of-way on the public lands described above have been or will be 
notified of the proposed classification. Rights-of-way granted by the 
Bureau of Land Management on the above lands will transfer with the 
land, the transfer document will be subject to the rights-of-way, or 
the rights-of-way may be reserved to the United States (see Section 508 
of FLPMA). Oil and gas leases (geothermal, other leasing act minerals) 
will remain in effect under the terms and conditions of the lease. 
(Upon expiration or termination of the leases, or any authorized 
extensions thereof, such rights shall automatically vest in the State.)
    State law and School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration 
procedures provide for the offering to holders of Bureau of Land 
Management grazing permits, licenses, or leases the first right to 
lease lands that are transferred to the State. This Classification 
notice constitutes official notice to holders of grazing use 
authorizations from the Bureau of Land Management that such 
authorizations will be terminated in part upon transfer of the land 
described above to the State of Utah.
    For a period of 45 days from the date of first publication 
indicated below, persons asserting a claim to or interest in the 
described lands, other than holders of leases, permits, or rights-of-
way may file such claim with the State Director, Bureau of Land 
Management, 324 South State Street, P.O. Box 45155, Salt Lake City, 
Utah 84145-0155, with evidence that a copy thereof has been served on 
the State of Utah, School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration.

    Dated: July 2, 1998.
G. William Lamb,
State Director.
