    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The conveyance is 
consistent with the Shoshone/Eureka Resource Management Plan, dated 
February 26, 1986, 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, and will 
contain the following reservations to the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945); 
and
    2. All minerals, 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.
    The conveyance will also be subject to: Valid existing rights.
    On publication of this notice in the Federal Register the land 
described above will be 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 disposals under the mineral material disposal 
laws.
    Interested parties may submit comments involving the suitability of 
the land for a waste water treatment facility. Comments on the 
classification are restricted to whether the land is physically suited 
for the proposal, 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.
    Interested parties may submit comments regarding the specific use 
proposed in the application and plan of development, whether the BLM 
followed proper administrative procedures in reaching the decision to 
convey under the R&PP Act, or any other factor not directly related to 
the suitability of the land for R&PP use.
    Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be

properly filed. Electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone comments will 
not be considered properly filed. Comments, including names and 
addresses of respondents, will be available for public review. Before
