subject to the following reservations, terms, and conditions:
    (1) Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    (2) Provided that title shall revert to the United States upon a 
finding, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, that, without 
the approval of the Secretary of the Interior or his delegate, the 
patentee or its approved successor attempts to transfer title to or 
control over the lands to another, the lands have been devoted to a 
use other than that for which the lands were conveyed, or the lands 
have not been used for the purpose for which the lands were conveyed 
for a 5-year period, or the patentee has failed to follow the 
approved development plan or management plan.
    (3) Provided further that the Secretary of the Interior may take 
action to revest title in the United States if the patentee directly 
or indirectly permits its agents, employees, contractors, or 
subcontractors (including without limitation lessees, sub-lessees, 
and permittees) to prohibit or restrict, directly or indirectly, the 
use of any part of the patented lands or any of the facilities 
thereon by any person because of such person's race, creed, color, 
sex, national origin, or handicap.
    (4) If, at any time, the patentee transfers to another party 
ownership of any portion of the land not used for the purpose(s) 
specified in the application and approved plan of development, the 
patentee shall pay the Bureau of Land Management the fair market 
value, as determined by the authorized officer, of the transferred 
portion as of the date of transfer, including the value of any 
improvements thereon.

authority of the United States, pursuant to the Act of August 30,

patented, and the right of the United States, or persons authorized 
by the United States, to prospect for, mine, and remove such 
deposits from the same under applicable laws and regulations as the 
Secretary of the Interior may prescribe.
    (7) Any other valid and existing rights and encumbrances of 
record.

compliance with the terms or provisions of Title VI of the Civil 
Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 241).
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the 
lands will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under 
the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for 
lease/conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act. The 
segregative effect shall terminate upon issuance of a patent, upon 
final rejection of the application, or 18 months from the date of 
this notice, whichever occurs first.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for museum purposes. Comments 
on the classification are restricted to whether the land is 
physically suited for the proposed use, whether the use will 
maximize the future use or uses of the land, whether the use is 
consistent with local planning and zoning, or if the use is 
consistent with State and Federal programs.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of 
development and management, whether the BLM followed proper 
administrative procedures in reaching the decision, or any other 
factor not directly related to the suitability of the land for the 
proposed use.
    For a period until June 2, 2008, interested parties and the 
general public may submit in writing any comments concerning the 
land being considered for lease/conveyance, including notification 
of any encumbrances or other claims relating to the identified land, 
to the Field Manager, BLM Rawlins Field Office, at the above 
address. In order to ensure consideration in the environmental 
analysis of the proposed lease/sale, comments must be in writing and 
postmarked or delivered within 45 days of the initial date of 
publication of this Notice. Comments transmitted via e-mail will not 
be accepted.
    Any objections will be evaluated by the State Director, who may 
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of any 
adverse comments, regarding this realty action, it will become the 
final determination of the Department of the Interior. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, regarding the classification 
action, it will become effective June 16, 2008.
    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.
