SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 2, 2001, Elmore County was 
granted a R&PP lease on 2\1/2\ acres of public land, for a senior 
citizen's center and snowmobile groomer shed. Elmore County has filed 
an application to amend this lease to accommodate a slightly different 
placement for the snowmobile groomer shed. This land will be developed 
and managed for community and recreational purposes, as described in 
the development plan submitted by Elmore County on March 10, 2002. We 
have determined that the lease or conveyance of the lands for the 
proposed community center and shed are in the public interest.
    Publication of this notice in the Federal Register will segregate 
the above described public lands from the operation of the public land 
laws and the mining laws, except for mineral leasing and leasing or 
conveyance under the R&PP Act. In the absence of any adverse comments, 
the classification will become effective October 11, 2002. The 
segregative effect will automatically expire on February 12, 2004.
    Comments: Comments may address whether the lands being classified 
are 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 or zoning, or if the use is consistent with State or 
Federal programs. Comments may also address the specific use proposed 
in the application or plan of development, whether the BLM followed 
proper administrative procedures in reaching the decision to lease the 
land under the R&PP Act, or any other factor not directly related to 
the suitability of the land for the stated purpose. Adverse comments 
will be reviewed by the District Manager.
    The lease of the lands will not occur until after the 
classification becomes effective, and will be subject to the following 
terms, conditions, and reservations:
    1. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to all applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land 
records at the time of lease/patent issuance.
    3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine and remove the minerals.
    4. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interests therein.

    Dated: May 31, 2002.

Four Rivers Field Manager.
