AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.

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

SUMMARY: Several parcels of public land totaling 262.21 acres in 
Minidoka County, Idaho, are being considered for direct sale under the 
provisions of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 
(FLPMA), at no less than the appraised fair market value. This notice

DATES: In order to ensure consideration in the environmental analysis 
of the proposed sale, comments must be received by October 9, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Address all comments concerning this Notice to Tara Hagen, 
Realty Specialist, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Shoshone Field 
Office, 400 West F Street, Shoshone, Idaho 83352.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tara Hagen, Realty Specialist, at the 
above address or phone at (208) 732-7205.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice terminates the Multiple Use 
Management Classification, dated February 11, 1969, on the following 
described public lands in Minidoka County, Idaho. This classification 
is no longer needed and these lands will be considered for sale as 
discussed below.

T. 7 S., R. 24 E.,
    Sec. 4, Lots 3-4.

    The area described contains 42.48 acres in Minidoka County.
    The following described public land in Minidoka County, Idaho, are 
being considered for sale under the authority of Sections 203 and 209 
of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, (90 Stat. 2750, 
43 U.S.C. 1713):

Boise Meridian

T. 6 S., R. 24 E.,
    Sec. 30, SWSE; Sec. 31, SESE, Lots 1, 4-6
T. 7 S., R. 24 E.,
    Sec. 4, Lots 3-4.

    The area described contains 262.21 acres in Minidoka County.
    The 1985 BLM Monument Resource Management Plan identified these 
parcels of public land as suitable for disposal. The Amendments to 
Shoshone Field Office Land Use Plans for Land Tenure Adjustment and 
Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (2003) identified these parcels 
of land to be within the adjustment areas of Zones 2 and 4. Public 
lands within \1/2\-mile of either side of the Zone 2 boundary will be 
considered potentially suitable for disposal primarily by exchange and 
secondarily by sale or R&PP patent. Public lands in Zone 4 are 
potentially suitable for disposal primarily by exchange; however, if 
land exchanges are not feasible, then land tenure adjustment via sale 
or R&PP patent will be considered. These parcels qualify for disposal 
under the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA). Conveyance 
of the identified public land 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 25, 2008, 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. Until completion of the 
sale, the BLM is no longer accepting land use applications affecting 
the identified public land, except applications for the amendment of 
previously filed right-of-way applications or existing authorizations 
to increase the term of the grants in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 
and 2886.15. The segregative effect will terminate upon issuance of a 
patent, publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the 
segregation, or August 25, 2010, 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 9, 2008, interested 
parties and the general public may submit in writing any comments 
concerning the land being considered for sale, including notification 
of any encumbrances or other claims relating to the identified land, to 
Field Manager, BLM Shoshone 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 
within 45 days of the initial date of publication of this Notice. 
Comments transmitted via e-mail will not be accepted. Comments, 
including names and street addresses of respondents, will be available 
for public review at the BLM Shoshone Field Office during regular 
business hours, except holidays. Individual respondents may request 
confidentiality. 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. If you wish to have your name or address 
withheld from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, 
you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comments. Any 
determination by the BLM to release or withhold the names and/or 
addresses of those who comment will be made on a case-by-case basis. 
Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by law. The BLM 
will make available for public review, in their entirety, all comments 
submitted by businesses or organizations, including comments by 
individuals in their capacity as an official or representative of a 
business or organization.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2711.1-2.
