Notice of Realty Action, Direct Sale of Public Land, Pershing County, 
NV

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Plan Amendment/Notice of Realty Action.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM) has amended the Sonoma-Gerlach Management Framework Plan to 
identify for disposal under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
350 acres of public land described as:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 27 N., R. 31 E.,
    Sec. 7: E\1/2\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\, NE\1/4\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\, S\1/2\SW\1/
4\SE\1/4\, E\1/2\SE\1/4\;
    Sec. 8: SW\1/4\NW\1/4\, W\1/2\SW\1/4\;
    Sec. 18: N\1/2\NE\1/4\, E\1/2\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\;

    Containing 350 acres more or less.

    The subject lands have been found suitable for direct sale under 
Sections 203 and 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713 and 1719), at not less than fair market value.
    The above described lands are hereby classified for disposal in 
accordance with Executive Order 6910 and the Act of June 28, 1934, as 
amended.
    The lands were formerly segregated from sale by publication of a 
Notice of Realty Action (N58101) published in the Federal Register on 
January 14, 1994, in anticipation of an R&PP lease. Upon publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register, the segregation against sale under 
the authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act is 
terminated and the subject lands are open to sale under the authority 
of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. Upon patent issuance for 
the subject lands, the Recreation and Public Purposes Act Lease N-
58101, issued to the Pershing County Fair and Recreation Board, shall 
terminate.
    The lands are not required for Federal purposes. Disposal is 
consistent with the Bureau's planning for this area and would be in the 
public's interest. This land is being offered by direct sale to the 
Pershing County Fair and Recreation Board. It has been determined that 
the subject parcel contains no known mineral values.
    Acceptance of a direct sale offer will constitute an application 
for conveyance of those mineral interests having no known value. The 
applicant will be required to pay a $50.00 non-refundable filing fee 
for conveyance of the said mineral interests. The land will not be 
offered for sale until at least 60 days after publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.

affected by the amendment may protest this action as it affects issues
