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

SUMMARY: An application has been filed with the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) by Northern States Power Company (NSP), d/b/a/Xcel 
Energy, for a Recordable Disclaimer of Interest from the United States 
for an easement in Brookings County, South Dakota. This notice is 
intended to inform the public of the pending application.

DATES: Comment period is open for 90 days from publication of this 
notice. Only written comments will be accepted. Refer to serial No. SDM 
99176.

ADDRESSES: Address all written comments to Cindy Staszak, Chief, Branch 
of Land Resources, BLM Montana State Office, 5001 Southgate Drive,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tami Lorenz, BLM Montana State Office, 
5001 Southgate Drive, Billings, Montana 59101-4669; 406-896-5053.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Section 315 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1745), and the 
regulations contained in 43 CFR subpart 1864, a Recordable Disclaimer 
of Interest, if issued, will confirm that the United States has no 
valid interest in the easement. The NSP has filed condemnation 
proceedings for easement rights to construct, operate, maintain, use, 
rebuild, or remove an electric transmission line through, over, under 
and across the subject land. A Recordable Disclaimer of Interest will 
not be issued until the NSP secures title

to the easement through condemnation. The easement is described as 
follows:

Fifth Principal Meridian, South Dakota

T. 110 N., R. 47 W.,
    sec. 3, south 75.5 feet of lot 6.

    The area described contains approximately 1.7 acres in Brookings 
County.
    A review of the General Land Office plat and original patent 
documents indicate that the surface and subsurface interests in the 
above-described property were transferred out of Federal ownership by 
land patents, with no reservations to the United States. The BLM South 
Dakota Field Office reported there have been no on-the-ground changes 
that reflect any remaining Federal interest.
    All persons who wish to present comments, suggestions, or 
objections in connection with the proposed disclaimer may do so by 
writing to the undersigned authorized officer at the above address. 
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 no valid objection is received, a Recordable Disclaimer of 
Interest may be approved stating that the United States does not have a 
valid interest in the land.

Cindy Staszak,
Chief, Branch of Land Resources.
