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

SUMMARY: Sale of a small parcel of public land will resolve an 
inadvertent unauthorized occupancy of the public land. The sale will be 
made under the provisions of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act. This notice will segregate the public land from other forms of 
appropriation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The land will be segregated upon publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charles J. Kihm, Bureau of Land 
Management, Carson City Field Office, 5665 Morgan Mill Road, Carson 
City, Nevada 89701, 775-885-6000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land has been 
examined and determined to be suitable for transfer out of Federal 
ownership by direct sale under the authority of Sections 203 and 209 of 
the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (90 
Stat. 2750; 43 U.S.C. 1713 and 90 Stat. 2757; 43 U.S.C. 1719), at the 
appraised fair market value:

    Sec. 25, N\1/2\N\1/2\NW\1/4\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\ (within).
    Containing 0.137 acres, more or less.

    The parcel will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days 
after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
    The above-described land is hereby segregated from appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the mining laws, but not from 
sale under the above-cited statute, for 270 days or until title 
transfer is completed or the segregation is terminated by publication 
in the Federal Register, whichever occurs first.
    A direct sale is necessary to protect existing equities in the land 
and resolve inadvertent unauthorized use and occupancy of the land. The 
sale is consistent with the North Douglas County Specific Plan 
Amendment (June 2001) and the public interest will be served by 
offering this parcel for sale.
    The terms, conditions, and reservations applicable to the sale are 
as follows:
    1. The mineral interests being offered for conveyance have no known 
mineral value. Agreement to purchase the parcel will constitute an 
application for conveyance of the mineral estate, in accordance with 
Section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. The 
designated buyer must include with their purchase payment a 
nonrefundable $50.00 filing fee for the conveyance of the mineral 
estate.
    2. Rights-of-way for ditches and canals will be reserved to the 
United States under 43 U.S.C. 945.
    For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments to the 
Carson City Field Office. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the 
Carson City Field Office Manager, 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.
