    The County of Kern has filed an application to purchase a 3.99-acre 
parcel of public land occupied by an existing solid waste transfer 
station. The transfer station handles nonhazardous solid waste from 
residential, commercial and industrial sources. Conveyance would 
include a buffer area around the transfer station site.
    The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Conveyance is 
consistent with current BLM land use planning and would be in the 
public interest.
    The patent will be subject to the following terms, conditions, and 
reservations:
    1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and to all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States; Act of August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. 391; 
43 U.S.C. 945).
    3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    4. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land 
records at the time of patent issuance.
    5. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interests therein.
    Detailed information concerning this action is available for review 
at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Bakersfield Field 
Office, 3801 Pegasus Drive, Bakersfield, California.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the 
public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for 
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing 
under the mineral leasing laws. For a period of 45 days from the date 
of publication of this notice, until March 29, 1999, interested persons 
may submit comments regarding the proposed conveyance or classification 
of the lands to the Field Office Manager, Bakersfield Field Office, 
3801 Pegasus Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93308.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a transfer station and buffer 
areas. Comments on the classification are restricted to whether the 
land is physically suited for the proposal, whether the use will 
maximize the future use or uses of the land, whether the use is 
consistent with local planning and zoning, or if the use is consistent 
with State and Federal programs.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of 
development, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures 
in reaching the decision, or any other factor not directly related to 
the suitability of the land for a transfer station and buffer areas.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become 
effective 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.
