Preserve, LP, under the provisions of the Federal Land Policy 
Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), at no less than the appraised fair 
market value.

DATES: In order to ensure consideration in the environmental analysis 
of the proposed sale, comments must be received by October 4, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Address all comments concerning this Notice to Pauline E. 
Ellis, Columbine Field Manager, Bureau of Land Management, 15 Burnett

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land is being 
considered for sale on a non-competitive (direct) sale basis to Indian 
Shadow Preserve, LP, in accordance with Section 203(f)(2) of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, (90 Stat. 2750, 43 
U.S.C. 1713):

New Mexico Principal Meridian

T. 35 N., R. 11 W.
    Sec. 11: lots 2 and 4.

    The area described contains 2.11 acres in La Plata County.

The BLM Columbine Field Manager has determined that a non-competitive 
(direct) sale will be in the best interest of the public in 
facilitating overall administration of public lands in the vicinity of 
the sale parcel. The FLPMA authorizes the use of direct sales of public 
lands to recognize public policies by giving preference to users such 
as adjoining land owners. The BLM parcel lacks public access. The 
parcel varies from 28 feet to 38 feet in width, is approximately 2,600 
feet in length, and is bounded on three sides by the private land of 
the sale proponent. The subject land is administered through the 1985 
BLM San Juan/San Miguel Resource Management Plan. Conveyance of title 
to the parcel will be subject to valid existing rights and encumbrances 
of record, including but not limited to, rights-of-way for roads and 
public utilities. Conveyance of any mineral interests pursuant to 
Section 209 of the FLPMA will be analyzed during processing of the 
proposed sale.
    On August 20, 2007 the above-described land will be segregated from 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, 
except the sale provisions of the FLPMA. The segregative effect will 
terminate upon issuance of a patent, publication in the Federal 
Register of a termination of the segregation, or August 19, 2009, 
unless extended by the BLM State Director in accordance with 43 CFR 
2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination date.

Public Comments

    For a period until October 4, 2007, interested parties and the 
general public may submit in writing any comments concerning the lands 
being considered for sale, including notification of any encumbrances 
or other claims relating to the identified lands, to Pauline E. Ellis, 
BLM Columbine Field Office, at the above address. In order to ensure 
consideration in the environmental analysis of the proposed sale, 
comments must be in writing and postmarked or delivered by October 4, 
2007. Comments transmitted via e-mail will not be accepted.
    Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.
    Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will 
be available for public review at the BLM Columbine Field Office during 
regular business hours, except holidays.

(Authority: 43 CFR 2711.1-2)
