SUMMARY: The following public lands in Santa Fe County, New Mexico have

    Containing approximately 5.76 acres.

    The lands are not needed for Federal Purposes. Lease or conveyance 
is consistent with current BLM land use planning and would be in the 
public interest.
    The lease/conveyance, when issued, 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.
    3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.

at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Taos Resource Area, 226

    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 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 in the Federal Register, interested 
persons may submit comments regarding the proposed lease/conveyance or

Classification Comments

    Interested parties may submit comments involving the suitability of 
the land for a recreation area and community center location for Santa 
Fe County. 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 the proposed use.
     Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In 
the absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become
