    Note: This description will be replaced on completion of a 
resurvey and final approval of the official plat of survey.

    In accordance with the R&PP Act, Eureka County filed an application 
to construct a fire station on approximately 1.25 acres. Additional 
detailed information pertaining to this application, plan of 
development, and site plans are in case file N-84312 located in the BLM 
Battle Mountain District Office.
    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The lease and 
subsequent conveyance is consistent with the Shoshone/Eureka Resource 
Management Plan, dated February 26, 1986, and would be in the public 
interest. The lease and subsequent conveyance will be subject to the 
provisions of the R&PP Act, 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 lease/conveyance will also be subject to:
    Valid existing rights.
    On publication of this notice in the Federal Register the land 
described will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except 
for lease and 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 fire station. 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 
lease and later 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 
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

to the BLM Manager, Mount Lewis Field Office, will be considered 
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
