This action is a motion by the Bureau of Land Management to make 
available lands identified in the San Juan Resource Management Plan not 
needed for Federal purposes and having potential for disposal to 
support community expansion. Lease or conveyance of the lands for 
recreational or public purpose use is consistent with current BLM land 
use planning and would be in the public interest. Detailed information

Bureau of Land Management, San Juan Field Office, 15 Burnett Court, 
Durango, Colorado 81301.
    The lease or conveyance of the lands 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. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land 
records at the time of lease/patent issuance.
    3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    4. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interest therein.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public 
land laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease or 
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, interested persons may submit written comments regarding the 
classification of the public lands as being suitable for disposal under 
the R&PP Act, to the San Juan Field Office Manager, San Juan Field 
Office, 15 Burnett Court, Durango, Colorado 81301. 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.
