    The area described contains 9.4 acres in Baker County.

    The Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation proposes to include

    The land is not required for any Federal purpose. Conveyance is

dated July 12, 1989, and would be in the public interest. The 
conveyance, when issued, will be subject to the provisions of the R&PP 
Act and applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior. The 
following rights, reservations and conditions will be included in the 
conveyance document:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine and remove such deposits from the 
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the 
Interior may prescribe.
    3. Any and all reservations that the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interests therein.
    4. All valid and existing rights documented on the official public 
land records at the time of lease issuance or conveyance.
    5. A notice and indemnification statement under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 
section 9620) holding the United States harmless from any release of 
hazardous materials that may have occurred as a result of any 
authorized or unauthorized use of the property by other parties.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the above 
described land is segregated from all other forms of appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except 
for conveyance under the R&PP Act, leasing under the mineral leasing 
laws, and disposal under the mineral material disposal laws.

    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of 
development, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures

State Heritage Area.
    Comments, including names, street addresses and other contact 
information of respondents, will be available for public review.

request that the BLM consider withholding your name, street address and 
other contact information (such as: FAX or phone number) from public 
review or from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, you 
must state this prominently at the beginning of your comment. The BLM 
will honor requests for confidentiality on a case-by-case basis to the 
extent allowed by law. The BLM will make available for public 
inspection all submissions in their entirety from organizations or 
businesses and from individuals identifying themselves as 
representatives or officials of organizations or businesses. Any 
adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director who may 
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of any 
adverse comments, classification will become effective on October 24, 
2006. The lands will not be offered for conveyance until after the
