in the public interest. The lease/patent, when issued, would 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 are reserved to the United States, together with 
the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals, under 
applicable laws and regulations established by the Secretary of the 
Interior.
    4. Those rights for a water pipeline granted to Washington City by 
right-of-way U-80297.
    5. Those rights for a power line granted to Dixie Escalante Rural 
Electric Association by right-of-way U-1072.
    Detailed information concerning this action is available at the 
office of the Bureau of Land Management, St. George Field Office, 345 
E. Riverside Drive, St. George, Utah 84790. The land will be segregated 
from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the general mining laws, except for leasing/conveyance under 
the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws on April 11, 2005. Interested persons may submit comments 
regarding the proposed classification, lease/conveyance of the land to 
the Field Office Manager, St. George Field Office until May 26, 2005.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the lands for an elementary school. 
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. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State 
Director. In the absence of any adverse comments, the classification 
will be come effective on June 10, 2005.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the Washington County School 
District's application, 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 elementary school purposes.

absence of any adverse comments, the decision to lease/convey will 
become the final decision of the Department of the Interior.
