Notice of Application for Disclaimer of Interest, Iowa

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Proposal to issue a disclaimer.

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

SUMMARY: Jeffrey L. Poulson has filed an application on behalf of 
Fairview Farms, A Partnership, claiming title to the lands hereinafter 
described, for a recordable disclaimer of interest from the United 
States pursuant to the authority of Section 315 of the Federal Land 
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1745).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Regina Berry, Bureau of Land 
Management, Eastern States, 7450 Boston Boulevard, Springfield, 
Virginia 22153, 703-440-1547.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Bureau of Land Management has tentatively 
determined that the United States does not have any interest in the 
following described land. The land is described according to a private 
land survey, dated September 6, 1969, filed in the Office of the Clerk, 
County of Monona, State of Iowa.
    Tax Lot ``C'' of Section Twenty Six (26); Tax Lot ``E'' of Section 
Twenty Seven (27); Tax Lot ``D'' of Section Thirty Three (33); The 
North Half of the Northeast Quarter (N\1/2\NE\1/4\), The Southeast 
Quarter of the Northwest Quarter (SE\1/4\NW\1/4\), The Southwest 
Quarter of the Northeast Quarter (SW\1/4\NE\1/4\); Tax Lot ``E'' Except 
for the West 700 Feet, Tax Lots ``F and H, Except for the West 700 Feet 
of Section Thirty Four (34); and Tax Lot ``B'' of Section Thirty Five 
(35), All in Township Eighty Five (85) North, Range Forty Seven (47) 
West of the 5th P.M., containing 472.77 acres in Monona County, Iowa.
    The above described acreage was formed by accretion to land after 
the land was selected by the State of Iowa as swamplands and conveyed 
by the United States to that State, in accordance with the Act of 
September 28, 1850, by the patent number 2, dated January 10, 1860 and 
patent number 7, dated February 15, 1869. Accretion is the gradual 
deposit of soil and other materials along the bank of a body of water 
adding to the riparian owner's land. If issued the proposed recordable 
disclaimer of interest will remove a cloud on the title to the accreted 
land and will state that the United States does not have a valid 
interest in the accreted land. For a period of 90 days from the Federal 
Register publication date of this notice, persons who wish to comment 
or present an objection in connection with the pending application and 
the proposed disclaimer may do so by writing Ida V. Doup, Chief, Branch 
of Use Authorization, Bureau of Land Management, Eastern States, 7450 
Boston Boulevard, Springfield, Virginia 22153. If no objections are 
received, the disclaimer will be issued after 90-day period.

    Dated: May 6, 2003.
Walter Rewinski,
Acting State Director.
