Notice of Realty Action; Non-Competitive Sale of Lands

AGENCY: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management.

ACTION: Notice: designation of public lands located in Gunnison County, 
Colorado as suitable for disposal.

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

SUMMARY: Approximately .4 acres of public land located in Gunnison 
County, Colorado have been determined to be suitable for disposal by 
sale utilizing noncompetitive procedures, at not less than the fair 
market value. Fair market value is to be determined by an appraisal 
completed by a Federal or independent appraiser using the principals 
contained in the ``Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land 
Acquisitions''. Authority for the sale is Section 203 and Section 209 
of Public Law 94-579, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
1976.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Additional information about this sale is 
available for review at the Bureau of Land management, Gunnison Field 
Office, 216 North Colorado, Gunnison, Colorado 81230, and attention: 
Barry Tollefson. Comments shall be submitted by October 30, 1999 to the 
Gunnison Field Office Manager. The Field Office Manager will review any 
adverse comments, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty 
action. In the absence of any adverse comments, this realty action will 
become the final determination of the Department of the Interior.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described land has been 
determined to be suitable for disposal by sale utilizing non-
competitive procedures.

New Mexico Principal Meridian, Colorado

T. 46 N., R. 2 W.,
    Sec. 23, Lot 2

    Containing approximately .40 acres more or less.

    This land is being offered as a direct non-competitive sale to Mr. 
and Mrs. J.M. Schoenmakers, as private individuals. The Bureau of Land 
Management has determined a direct sale is necessary as the 
Schoenmakers own adjoining private property. Because of an error in a 
private survey conducted over 25 years ago, the Schoenmakers house is 
located on the adjoining public lands that have been surveyed to create 
the above described Lot 2. The direct sale will resolve this 
inadvertent unauthorized occupancy of said land. The land will not be 
offered for sale until at least 60 days after the publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.
    In the event of a sale, the mineral interest shall be conveyed 
simultaneously with the surface interest. The mineral interest being 
offered for conveyance has no known mineral value. Upon acceptance of a 
direct sale offer, the purchaser shall be required to make application 
for conveyance of those mineral interests. Upon publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, the land will be segregated from all 
forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the 
general mining laws. This segregation will terminate upon issuance of a 
patent or 270 days from the date of this publication.
    The patent, when issued would contain a reservation of a right-of-
way thereon 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. Any 
patent would also be subject to an existing overhead power line right-
of-way authorization, COC-39175, currently held by Gunnison County 
Electric Association, a buried telephone cable right-of-way 
authorization, COC-48606, currently held by U.S. West and a second 
buried telephone cable right-of-way authorization, COC-54329 currently 
held by U.S. West.

    Signed: September 3, 1999.
Barry A. Tollefson,
Gunnison Field Manager.
