DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Land Management
[NV-930-1430-01; N-62920]


Notice of Realty Action; Direct Sale; Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The following land in Elko County, Nevada has been examined 
and identified as suitable for disposal by direct sale, including the 
mineral estate, under Section 203 and Section 209 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713 
and 1719) at no less than fair market value as determined by an 
appraisal:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 37 N., R. 59 E., Section 26, E\1/2\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\.
    Comprising 5.0 acres, more or less.

    The above described land is being offered as a direct sale to the 
Nevada Department of Transportation. The land will not be offered for 
sale until at least 60 days after the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Detailed information concerning this 
action is available for review at the Bureau of Land Management, Elko 
Field Office, 3900 E. Idaho Street, Elko, Nevada 89801.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed action is consistent with the 
objectives of the Elko RMP and are consistent with Federal, State, and 
local laws, regulations, and plans to the maximum extent possible. The 
land is not needed for any resource program and is not suitable for 
management by the Bureau or another Federal department or agency. The 
proposal has been reviewed by the Elko County Planning Commission.
    The land has no known value for minerals. Therefore, the mineral 
estate, will be conveyed simultaneously with the sale of the surface 
estate. Acceptance of the sale offer will constitute an application to 
purchase the mineral estate. A non-refundable mineral estate fee of 
$50.00 will be required along with the purchase money. Failure to 
submit the purchase money and the non-refundable filing fee for the 
mineral estate within the time frame specified by the authorized 
officer will result in cancellation of the sale.
    The subject lands have been previously segregated from 
appropriation under the public land laws and mineral laws on behalf of 
the Western Resource Management Land Exchange (N-59405). A decision, 
based on the Environmental Assessment (BLM/EK/PL-99/008), determined 
that the direct sale to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) 
best serves the interest of the public rather than to dispose of the 
parcel through a land exchange. This action will not adversely impact 
the exchange. The segregative effect by the Western Resource Management 
Land Exchange (N-59405) is hereby terminated for the subject parcel 
described above. The termination will be effective at 9 a.m., 30 days 
after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
    Upon publication of this Notice of Realty Action in the Federal 
Register, the subject lands will be segregated from all forms of 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, 
but not the mineral leasing laws or disposals pursuant to Sections 203 
and 209 of FLPMA. The segregation shall terminate upon issuance of a 
patent or other document of conveyance, upon publication in the Federal 
Register of a Notice of Termination of Segregation, or 270 days from 
date of this publication, which ever occurs first.
    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).

    The rights granted by the existing highway right-of-way (Nev-
061282) and material site right-of-way (Nev-059247), both held by 
(NDOT), will merge with title to the land upon issuance of patent and 
therefore, no reservation of these rights will be made.
    For a period of 45 days from the date of publication in the Federal 
Register, interested parties may submit comments to the Bureau of Land 
Management, Elko Field Office, 3900 Idaho Street, Elko, Nevada 89801. 
Any adverse comments will be evaluated by the State Director, who may 
sustain, vacate or modify this realty action and issue a final 
determination. In the absence of timely filed objections, this realty 
action will become a final determination of the Department of the 
Interior.

    Dated: January 12, 1999.

Field Manager.
