Notice of Realty Action: Non-Competitive Direct Sale of Public 
Lands in San Juan County, NM

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.

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

SUMMARY: Lands in San Juan County, New Mexico are being considered for 
direct sale to San Juan County utilizing non-competitive procedures at 
the appraised fair market value.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for the sale is Section 203 of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA).

    The lands contain 1.26 acres, more or less, located south of the 
San Juan County Fair grounds. This parcel of land, situated in San Juan 
County, is being considered for a direct sale to San Juan County, the 
adjacent property owner. The sale price will not be less than the fair 
market value of $30,000.00. This land is not required for any federal 
purposes. The sale is consistent with current Bureau planning for this 
area, and a direct sale to the County would be in the public interest. 
A sale will settle a trespass and allow expansion of existing rodeo 
grounds. In the event of a sale, the conveyance will be of surface 
interests only. Any patent, when issued, will contain the following 
reservations to the United States:
    1. Patent Reservations:
    A. All valid existing rights (including rights-of-ways).
    B. Reserve a right for the Federal Government to construct ditches 
and canals.
    C. Reserve all minerals to the Federal Government.
    On October 14, 2004, the public lands described above are 
segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the mining laws until July 11, 2005. The segregative

effect shall terminate as provided by 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d).
    Interested parties may submit comments on the proposed sale to the 
Field Manager, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Farmington Field Office,

November 29, 2004. Any Adverse comments will be reviewed by the State 
Director who may sustain, vacate, or modify this notice of realty 
action. The BLM may withdraw any land or interest in the land from sale 
if, in the opinion of the authorized officer, consummation of the sale 
would not be fully consistent with FLPMA or other applicable laws. The 
lands will not be sold before December 13, 2004.
