Notice of Intent To Amend the Mountain Valley Management 
Framework Plan; Utah

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Intent and Notice of Realty Action.

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

SUMMARY: A parcel of public land totaling 4.82 acres in Piute County, 
Utah is being considered for non-competitive (direct) sale under the 
provisions of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 
(FLPMA) at not less than the appraised fair market value. The Bureau of 
Land Management (BLM) proposes to amend the Mountain Valley Management 
Framework Plan to identify the 4.82 acre parcel for sale.

DATES: In order to ensure consideration in the environmental analysis 
of the proposed plan amendment, comments must be received August 20, 
2007.

ADDRESSES: Address all comments concerning this Notice to the Associate 
Field Office Manager, BLM Richfield Field Office, 150 East 900 North, 
Richfield, Utah 84701.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy DeMille, Realty Specialist, at 
the above address or at (435) 896-1515.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice initiates scoping for the 
amendment of the Mountain Valley management Framework Plan (1982) as 
amended (MVMFP), in accordance with 43 CFR 1610.2(c). If and when the 
BLM State Director does or does not approve such an amendment, the 
public will be notified in accordance with 43 CFR 1610.5-5.
    The BLM intends to amend the MVMFP because the following described 
public land in Piute County, Utah is being considered for non-
competitive (direct) sale under the authority of section 203 of the 
FLPMA of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713):

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah

T. 27 S., R. 4 W.,
    Sec. 26, Lot 53B

    The area described contains 4.82 acres in Piute County. Sale of 
the lands described would not be in conformance with the current 
land use plan. The MVMFP does not identify this tract for a FLPMA 
sale. The proposed plan amendment would serve to identify the 4.82 
acre tract for disposal consistent with the sale criteria in section 
203 of the FLPMA, in order to allow for the possibility of sale of 
this parcel. The purpose of the proposed plan amendment, and the 
consideration of sale of these identified lands is to resolve an 
inadvertent unauthorized occupancy of the public land, and to 
protect existing equities in the land, in accordance with 43 CFR 
2710.0-6(c)(3)(iii). Should the amendment be approved, the BLM will 
consider sale of the identified parcel to Audrey G. Roth, current 
occupant on that parcel. Following a decision to approve the 
proposed plan amendment, and further procedures in accordance with 
the FLPMA and its implementing regulations,

conveyance of the identified land would be subject to valid existing 
rights and encumbrances, including but not limited to, rights-of-way 
for roads and utilities. Conveyance of any mineral interests 
pursuant to section 209 of the FLPMA will be analyzed during 
processing of the sale, should it be proposed.

Public Comments

    For a period until August 20, 2007, interested parties and the 
general public may submit in writing any comments concerning the 
proposed land use plan amendment, including notification of any 
encumbrances or other claims relating to the identified public land, to 
the Associate Field Office Manager, Richfield Field Office, at the 
above address. In order to ensure consideration in the environmental 
analysis of the proposed plan amendment, comments must be in writing 
and postmarked or delivered within 45 days of the initial date of 
publication of this notice. Comments transmitted by e-mail will not be 
accepted. Comments, including names and street addresses of 
respondents, will be available for public review at the BLM Richfield 
Field Office during regular business hours, except holidays. Before 
including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal 
identifying information in your comment, you should be aware your 
entire comment--including your personal identifying information--may be 
made publicly available at any time. While you can ask in your comment 
to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, 
we cannot guarantee we will be able to do so.
