Disclaimer of Interest in Lands, Idaho

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: An application has been filed by Dana L. Hofstetter, Attorney 
at Law on behalf of Ray and Dorolene Obendorf and prospective 
purchaser, Jim Scarrow, for a recordable disclaimer of interest from 
the United States.

DATES: Comments or protests to this action should be received by May 
23, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Comments or protests must be filed with: State Director 
(ID933), Bureau of Land Management, 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, ID 
83709.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cathie Foster, BLM, Idaho State 
Office, 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, Idaho 83709, (208) 373-3863 or 
Effie Schultsmeier, BLM, Four Rivers Field Office, 3948 Development 
Avenue, Boise, Idaho 83705, (208) 384-3357.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Section 315 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1745), Dana L. Hofstetter 
has filed an application requesting the United States issue a 
recordable disclaimer of interest. The disclaimer of interest has been 
requested to disclaim and release all interest that the United States 
might have to Warnicks Reservoir and access thereto, as reserved in 
Patent No. 1235737 dated April 16, 1964, to wit:

    This patent is issued subject to a reservation to the United 
States for the Warnicks Reservoir, Bureau of Land Management Project 
No. 896 in the SW\1/4\SW\1/4\SW\1/4\NE\1/4\ said Section 23, (T. 6 
N., R. 5 W., B.M.), together with the right of egress and ingress 
from the adjacent public lands of the United States, and for public 
use as described in the Consent to Reservation, dated October 5, 
1961, filed in case record Idaho 011357.

    Based on a field exam and report prepared by the BLM's Four Rivers 
Field Office, there is no longer a reservoir in the SW\1/4\SW\1/4\SW\1/
4\NE\1/4\ of Section 23, T. 6 N., R. 5 W. The subject land is currently 
being farmed with the adjoining fields. A 1992 photograph shows no 
evidence of a reservoir at this location and it appears that the area 
has been farmed for many years. In addition, there are no public lands 
adjacent to the subject lands and as the original reservation reserved 
the right of egress and ingress from the adjacent public lands of the 
United States, there is no need to retain the reservation for access. 
Therefore it has been determined that there is no known public interest 
in the reservoir or access thereto, as the reservoir no longer exists. 
Therefore, the application by Dana Hofstetter for a disclaimer for the 
Warnicks Reservoir reservation in Patent No. 1235737 from the United 
States will be approved if no valid objection is received. This action 
will clear a cloud on the title of Ray and Dorolene Obendorf's, or 
prospective purchaser, Jim Scarrow's, land.
    Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents will 
be available for public review at the Idaho State Office, Bureau of 
Land Management, 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, Idaho during regular 
business hours 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays. 
Individual respondents may request confidentiality. If you wish to 
withhold your name or address from public review or from disclosure 
under the Freedom of Information Act, you must state this prominently 
at the beginning of your comments. Such requests will be honored to the 
extent allowed by law. All submissions from organizations or businesses 
and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or 
officials of organizations or businesses will be made available for 
public inspection in their entirety.

    Dated: January 24, 2005.
Jimmie Buxton,
Chief, Branch of Lands, Minerals and Water Rights, Resource Services 
Division.
