    The areas described aggregate 800 acres, more or less, in Churchill 
County. The 2001 BLM Carson City Consolidated Resource Management Plan 
identifies these public lands as suitable for disposal. The lands are 
not needed for any Federal purpose, and their disposal would be in the 
public interest. The sale meets the disposal qualification of Section 
205 of the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act of July 25, 2000, 
43 U.S.C. 2304. The sale will be subject to the provisions of FLPMA and 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary), 
specifically those regulations governing direct sale procedures and the 
patent, when issued, will contain the reservation to the United States 
of 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). 
All mineral deposits in the parcel shall be reserved to the United 
States together with the right to prospect for, mine and remove the 
minerals, according to any regulations the Secretary shall prescribe, 
along with all necessary access and exit rights.
    The conveyance will be subject to:
    1. Valid existing rights and encumbrances of record, including but 
not limited to, rights-of-way for roads and public utilities;
    2. A right-of-way, NVN-11441, for a power line granted to Sierra 
Pacific Power Company, its successors and assigns, pursuant to the Act 
of March 4, 1911, 43 U.S.C. 961; and
    3. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the lessees/patentees use, occupancy, 
or occupations on the leased/patented lands. Pursuant to the 
requirements established by Section 120(h) of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 
9620(h)), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization 
Act of 1988, (100 Stat. 1670), notice is hereby given that the above-

provisions of the FLPMA. Upon segregation, the BLM will no longer 
accept land use applications affecting the identified public lands, 
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 43 CFR 2886.15. The 
segregative effect will terminate upon issuance of a patent,
