Field Office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed RMP amendment and land sale 
involve approximately 450 acres of public land in the vicinity of the 
Denton-Rawhide Mine in Mineral County, Nevada. The purpose of a sale 
would be to consolidate lands within and surrounding the open pit mine 
area into private ownership for future post-mine development, including 
use of the area as a landfill. As part of the RMP amendment, an EA will 
be prepared to analyze designation of the public land for disposal and 
sale of the land. Comments will be accepted throughout the RMP 
amendment and EA process. Prior to a sale offer, a Notice of Realty 
Action will be prepared and published in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-
2. The plan amendment will fulfill the needs and obligations set forth 
by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), and BLM management policies. 
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will be 
available for public review at the Carson City Field Office during 
regular business hours 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 
except holidays, and may be published as part of the EA. Individual 
respondents may request confidentiality. If you wish to withhold your 
name or street address from public review or from disclosure under the 
Freedom of Information Act, you must state this prominently at the 
beginning of your written comment. Such requests will be honored to the 
extent allowed by law. All submissions from organizations and 
businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as 
representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, will be 
available for public inspection in their entirety.

Donald T. Hicks,
Manager, Carson City Field Office.
