Notice of Realty Action; Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, DOI.

ACTION: Direct sale of reversionary interest in previously patented 
public land in Nye County, Nevada.

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

SUMMARY: The following described land in Nye County, Nevada, patented 
to the Nye County under provisions of the Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act, as amended, has been examined and found suitable for 
elimination of the reversionary clause in the patent, under provisions 
of 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).

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 2 N., R. 42 E.,
    Tract 37;

    Consisting of 11.71 acres, more or less.

    The above-described interest in the land would be conveyed directly 
to the present owner of record, Nye County. This interest will not be 
conveyed until at least 60 days after the date of

publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Sladish, Land Law Examiner, 
Bureau of Land Management, Battle Mountain Field Office, 50 Bastian 
Road, Battle Mountain, NV, 89820, (775) 635-4029.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The land was patented in 1990 for use as a 
hospital, museum and senior garden. The patent (number 27-90-0147) 
includes a clause providing for title to the land to revert to the 
United States if the approved plan of development is not followed. The 
land has been substantially altered to the point where management by 
the Bureau of Land Management would not be feasible. The land is not 
needed for any resource program and is not suitable for management by 
another Federal department or agency. It would be difficult and 
uneconomic to manage, if title reverted to the United States.
    Nye County has requested full title to the subject parcel. This 
application to purchase the reversionary interest of the United States 
also constitutes an application for conveyance of the mineral 
interests. The applicant will be required to submit a $50.00 
nonrefundable filing fee for conveyance of the mineral interest. 
Payment by Nye County of other fees associated with this transaction 
will also be required.
    Upon publication of this Notice of Realty Action in the Federal 
Register, the lands will be segregated from all forms of appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the mining laws, pursuant to 
sections 203 and 209 of FLPMA. The segregation shall terminate upon 
issuance of a supplemental patent or other document of conveyance, upon 
publication in the Federal Register of a termination of segregation, or 
270 days from date of this publication, which ever occurs first.
    Patent, when issued, will contain the following reservations to the 
United States:
    1. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890, (43 U.S.C. 
945);
    2. A right-of-way for sewer line purposes, NEV-059832, and all 
appurtenances thereto, constructed by the United States through, over, 
or upon the land so patented, and the right of the United States, its 
agents or employees, to maintain, operate, repair or improve the same 
so long as needed or used for or by the United States.
    And will be subject to:
    1. Those rights for highway purposes granted to the Nevada Highway 
Department, its successors or assigns, by right-of-way NEV-057876, 
pursuant to the Act of August 27, 1958 (23 U.S.C. 317).
    2. Those rights for power line purposes which have been granted to 
Sierra Pacific Power Company, its successors or assigns, by right-of-
way N-4879, pursuant to the Act of March 4, 1911, as amended (formerly 
U.S.C. 961).
    3. Those rights for power line purposes which have been granted to 
Sierra Pacific Power Company, its successors or assigns, by right-of-
way N-51997, pursuant to the Act of October 21, 1976, (43 U.S.C. 1761).
    4. Those rights for power line purposes which have been granted to 
Tonopah Public Utilities, its successors or assigns, by right-of-way N-
52046, pursuant to the Act of October 21, 1976, (43 U.S.C. 1761).
    5. All other valid existing rights.
    For a period of 45 days from the date of publication in the Federal 
Register, interested parties may submit comments to the Field Manager, 
Battle Mountain District, 50 Bastian Road, Battle Mountain, NV 89820. 
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.
