Non-Competitive Sale of Public Lands, Tuolumne County, California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes a direct (non-
competitive) sale of approximately 1.59 acres of public land in 
Tuolumne County, California pursuant to Sections 203 and 209 of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (90 Stat. 
2750-51; 43 U.S.C. 1713, and 90 Stat. 2757-58, 43 U.S.C. 1719), and the 
Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act of July 25, 2000 (Pub. L., 
106-248), at not less than appraised market value. The approved 
appraised market value has been determined to be $15,000.00 for 
approximately 1.59 acres. The following described public land has been 
determined to be suitable for direct (non-competitive) sale to Frank 
and Ana M. Rocha pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA). This sale will resolve an inadvertent 
trespass by Frank Rocha.

T. 1 N., R. 14 E.,
    Section 27, Lot 7

    Containing 1.59 acres.


DATES: For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments 
pertaining to this action. The lands will not be offered for sale until 
at least 60 days after the date of publications of this notice in the 
Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments concerning the proposed sale to the 
Bureau of Land Management, 63 Natoma Street, Folsom, California 95630.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Additional information pertaining to 
the land sale, including relevant planning and environmental 
documentation, may be obtained from the Folsom Field Office at the 
above address. Jodi Lawson (916) 985-4474, is the BLM contact for this 
proposed sale.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The public land described in this notice has 
been determined to be suitable for direct (non-competitive) sale 
pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
of 1976 (FLPMA). The potential buyer of the parcel will make 
application under section 209 of FLPMA, to purchase the mineral estate 
along with the surface estate. BLM is disposing of this parcel because 
it is difficult and uneconomic to manage as part of the public lands of 
the United States. BLM is also proposing the sale to resolve an 
inadvertent trespass. This proposed sale is consistent with the Folsom 
Field Office Sierra Planning Area Management Framework Plan (July 
1988), and the public interest will be served by offering the parcel 
for sale. The money from this sale will be used to purchase lands for 
the BLM, National Park Service, Forest Service, or Fish and Wildlife 
Service. Any available mineral interests would be conveyed 
simultaneously with the sale of the land. The mineral interests being 
offered for conveyance have no known mineral value. Acceptance of a 
direct sale offer will constitute an application for conveyance of 
those mineral interests. The applicant will be required to pay a $50.00 
non-returnable filing fee for conveyance of the available mineral 
interests.
    The patent, when issued, will reserve a right-of-way thereon to 
Pacific Gas and Electric Power Company for a power transmission line 
constructed by the authority of the United States, Act of October 21, 
19766 (43 U.S.C. 1701).
    The State Director, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty 
action, will review objections to the sale. If there are no objections, 
this proposal will become the final determination of the Department of 
the Interior. Publication of this notice in the Federal Register will 
segregate the public lands from appropriations under the public land 
laws, including the mining laws, pending disposition of this action, or 
270 days from the date of publication of this notice, whichever occurs 
first. Pursuant to the application to convey the mineral estate, the 
mineral interests of the United States are segregated by this notice 
from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining 
laws for a period of two years from July 29, 2005.

    Dated: May 4, 2005.
D.K. Swickard,
Folsom Field Manager.
