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

SUMMARY: This notice effects public lands in Plumas County, California 
within T.22N., R.14E., Sections 23 and 26, M.D.M. Classification under 
the Recreation and Public Purposes Act will be terminated and public 
lands will be offered for noncompetitive sale to Portola Cemetery 
District.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 27, 1989, public lands in Plumas 
County, California, described below were segregated and classified as 
suitable for sale to the Portola Cemetery District pursuant to the 
Recreation and Public Purposes act (R&PP: T.22N., R.14E., Section 23, 
SW\1/4\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\SW\1/4\, SE\1/4\SW\1/4\SW\1/4\SW\1/4\; Section 26, 
NW\1/4\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\, NE\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\, M.D.M., 
containing 10 acres more or less. The R&PP classification is hereby 
terminated to allow other uses consistent with planning and current 
land classification. The lands are opened only to disposal by 
noncompetitive sale to Portola Cemetery District pursuant to section 
203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 
1713). Lands described as T.22N., R.14E., Tract 37, Sections 23 and 
section 26, M.D.M., containing .65 acre more or less have been examined 
and found suitable for direct sale at not less than the estimated fair 
market value of $500. The land will not be offered for sale until at 
least October 10, 2000. The land described is hereby segregated from 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, 
pending disposition of this action or 270 days from the date of 
publication of this notice, whichever occurs first. This land is not 
essential to any bureau of Land Management program and no resource 
needed by the public will be lost through the transfer to private 
ownership. Conveyance is consistent with current BLM land use planning 
and is in the public interest.
    The land is being offered for direct sale to the Portola Cemetery 
District for the continued operation of a cemetery. It has been 
determined that the subject parcel contains no known mineral values; 
therefore mineral interests may be conveyed simultaneously. Acceptance 
of the direct sale offer will qualify the purchaser to make application 
for conveyance of those mineral interests pursuant to the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976, Section 209 entitled 
Reservation and Conveyance of Minerals.
    The patent, when issued, may contain certain reservations to the 
United States. Detailed information concerning these reservations, as 
well as specific conditions of sale, are available for review at the 
Eagle Lake Field Office, 2950 Riverside Drive, Susanville, CA 96130.
    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 conveyance of the lands to the Field Manager at 
the above address. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State 
Director. In the absence of any adverse comments, the lands will be 
offered for sale to Portola Cemetery District.

    Dated: August 1, 2000.
Linda D. Hansen,
Field Manager.
