SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land located 
in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, has been determined to be suitable for 
sale at not less than fair market value under Section 203 of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (90 Stat. 
2750, 43 U.S.C. 1713) and 43 Code of Federal Regulations 2711.3-
3(a)(5). It has been determined that these lands are difficult to 
manage economically as part of the public lands. The BLM is also 
proposing the sale to resolve the inadvertent trespass.
    The parcel is described as:

New Mexico Principal Meridian

Santa Fe County

T. 20 N., R. 9 E.
    Section 18, lot 38.

    The area described contains 0.52 acres, more or less. The fair 
market value of this land is determined to be $19,000.00.

    The patent, when issued, will contain a reservation to the United 
States of a right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890 
(43 U.S.C. 945), a reservation for all minerals, and will be issued 
subject to valid existing rights-of-way and easements.
    The parcel is being offered by direct sale to Terry H. Conley of 
Santa Fe County, New Mexico, based on his historic use and the value of 
added improvements. The parcel of land has been used as a residence and 
business site for many years. Failure or refusal by Terry H. Conley to 
submit the required fair market appraisal amount within 180 days of the 
offer of the sale of the land will constitute a waiver of this 
preference consideration.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the land 
described above will be segregated from appropriation under the public 
land laws, including the general mining laws. The segregation will end 
upon issuance of patent or 270 days from the date of publication, 
whichever occurs first. The land will not be offered for sale until at 
least 60 days after the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.
    Comments must be received by the BLM Taos Field Manager, Taos Field 
Office, at the address stated above, on or before the date stated 
above. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the Taos Field Manager, 
who may sustain, vacate or modify this realty action. In the absence of 
any objections or adverse comments, this proposed realty action will 
become the final determination of the Department of the Interior. 
Authority for this proposed direct sale is found in 43 CFR subpart 
2710, subpart 2711.3-3.

    Dated: July 27, 2006.

Acting Field Office Manager.
