SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Publication of this notice segregates the 
public land described above from all other forms of appropriation under 
the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for 
leasing and conveyance under the R&PP Act and leasing under the mineral

the date of this publication, whichever occurs first.
    The lease, when issued, will be subject to the following terms:
    1. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to all applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. Provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 197 
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6901-6987 and the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 as amended, 42 U.S.C. 
9601 and all applicable regulations.
    3. Provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
    4. Provisions that the lease be operated in compliance with the 
approved Development Plan.
    The patent, when issued, will be subject to the following terms:
    1. Reservation to the United States of a right-of-way for ditches 
and canals in accordance with 43 U.S.C. 945.
    2. Reservation to the United States of all minerals.
    3. All valid existing rights, e.g., rights-of-way and leases of 
record.
    4. Provisions that if the patentee or its successor attempts to 
transfer title to or control over the land to another or the land is 
devoted to a use other than that for which the land was conveyed, 
without the consent of the Secretary of the Interior or his delegate, 
or prohibits or restricts, directly or indirectly, or permits it 
agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors, including without 
limitation, lessees, sublessees and permittees), to prohibit or 
restrict,

directly or indirectly, the use of any part of the patented lands or 
any of the facilities whereon by any person because of such person's 
race, creed, color, or national origin, title shall revert to the 
United States.
    The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Leasing and later 
patenting is consistent with current Bureau of Land Management policies 
and land use planning. The estimated intended time of lease issuance is 
May 15, 2009, with the patent being issued upon substantial development 
taking place. The proposal serves the public interest since it would 
provide a regional fire station.
