AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.

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

SUMMARY: The following public lands in Sandoval County, New Mexico have 
been examined and found suitable for classification for patent to the 
Cuba Soil and Water Conservation District under the provisions of the 
Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.). 
The Cuba Soil and Water Conservation District proposes to use the lands 
for an outdoor classroom and administrative site.

4\SW\1/4\NW\1/4\

    Containing 15.00 acres, more or less.

    The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Patent is consistent 
with current BLM land use planning and would be in the public interest.
    The patent will be subject to the following terms, conditions and 
reservations:
    1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States.
    3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    4. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land 
records at the time of patent issuance.

    5. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interests therein. Detailed information concerning this 
action is available for review at the office of the Bureau of Land 
Management, Albuquerque Field Office, 435 Montano NE, Albuquerque, New 
Mexico 87107.
    On June 7, 2004, the lands will be segregated from all other forms 
of appropriation under the public land laws, including the general 
mining laws, except for lease or conveyance under the Recreation and 
Public Purposes Act and leasing under the mineral leasing laws. 
Interested persons may submit comments regarding the proposed lease or 
classification of the lands to the Field Manager, Albuquerque Field 
Office, 435 Montano NE, Albuquerque, NM 87107 until July 22, 2004.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for an outdoor classroom and 
administrative site. Comments on the classification are restricted to 
whether the land is 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 and zoning, or if the use is consistent 
with State and Federal programs.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of 
development, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures 
in reaching the decision, or any other factor not directly related to 
the suitability of the land for an outdoor classroom and administrative 
site.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become 
effective on August 6, 2004.
