    The subject public land containing 1.33 acres, more or less will be

of resolving unauthorized, inadvertent use of the land for forty years.

regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Interested parties may submit comments on the direct 
sale on or before April 24, 2000.

BLM, 226 Cruz Alta Road, Taos, NM 87571.

Cruz Alta Rd., Taos, NM 87571, or at (505) 758-8851.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The direct sale will be subject to:
    1. A reservation to the United States of a right-of-way for ditches 
or canals constructed by the authority of the United States in 
accordance with the Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together

detailed description of this reservation, which will be incorporated in 
the patent document or other document of conveyance is available for

    Publication of this notice in the Federal Register will segregate 
the public land from appropriations under the public land laws

segregation will terminate upon the issuance of a patent or other 
document of conveyance, 270 days from date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register or upon publication of Notice of 
Termination, which ever occurs first.
    Any adverse comments will be evaluated by the State Director who 
may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of 
any objections, this realty action will become the final determination 
of the Department of the Interior.

    Dated: February 17, 2000.
