Notice of Intent to Amend the San Luis Resource Management Plan; 
and Notice of Realty Action for the Baxter Public Land Sale, CO

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an amendment to the San Luis 
Resource Management Plan; and notice of realty action, direct sale of 
public land in Saguache County, Colorado.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Saguache Field Office 
(SFO) announces its intent to prepare an amendment to a Resource 
Management Plan (RMP), pursuant to the BLM planning regulations in 43 
CFR 1600. The amendment would consider whether or not a 28.63 acre 
public land parcel currently included in the SFO's non-sale zone is 
suitable for direct sale pursuant to section 203 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713), as amended, to 
resolve an occupancy trespass.
    The following land would be sold at no less than the appraised fair 
market value:

New Mexico Principal Meridian, Colorado

T. 44 N., R. 7 E.,
    Sec. 13: lot 1,
    Sec. 24: lot 1, 2

    Containing 28.63 acres.

    The parcel will be offered by direct sale, without mineral rights, 
to John Baxter. The land described is hereby segregated from 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, 
until the land is sold or 270 days from publication of this notice, 
whichever occurs first. Detailed information concerning this sale, 
including dates, price, patent reservations, sale procedures, etc. will 
be available upon request.

DATES: Interested parties may submit written comments to the Field 
Office Manager at the address listed below. Comments will be accepted 
for 45 days after the date this notice is published in the Federal 
Register.

ADDRESSES: If you wish to comment, request additional information or 
request to be put on the mailing list, you may do so by any of several 
methods. You may mail or hand-deliver your comments or requests to: 
Field Manager, Bureau of Land Management, Saguache Field Office, 46525 
Hwy 114, Saguache, CO 81149; 719-655-2547. Comments, including names 
and addresses of respondents, will be available for public review at 
the Bureau of Land Management, Saguache Field Office, 46525 Hwy 114,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom Goodwin, Field Manager, or Bill 
Miller, Realty Specialist, at the address and phone number listed 
above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RMP provides for three land ownership 
adjustment zones--disposal, retention, and exchange. Of these three 
zones, sale of public land is limited to those lands identified in the 
disposal zone. The proposed amendment would make public land located 
within the non-sale zone available for direct sale to resolve an 
occupancy trespass.
    A legal notice describing the proposed planning action will be 
placed in the local newspaper. This notice will also be sent to the 
Governor of Colorado, Saguache County Commissioners, adjacent 
landowners, and potentially affected members of the public. The 
analysis of this action will be done by an interdisciplinary team. The 
analysis and plan amendment are scheduled for completion in June 2003.

    Date Issued: April 14, 2003.
Tom Goodwin,
Saguache Field Manager.
