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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined and found 
suitable for classification for conveyance to San Juan County, under 
the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, as 
amended, a 2.5 acre parcel of public land in San Juan County, Utah. San 
Juan County proposes to maintain a multi-purpose municipal building in 
Mexican Hat, Utah, to include fire and emergency services facilities, 
office space, equipment yard, weatherization services, and elections 
office.

DATES: Interested parties may submit written comments regarding this 
proposed classification for conveyance of public land until January 27, 
2011.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted to the Bureau of Land Management 
Monticello Field Office, 365 North Main, or P.O. Box 7, Monticello, 
Utah 84535.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maxine Deeter, BLM Monticello Field 
Office, at 435-587-1522, or by e-mail to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM has examined and found the following 
described public land suitable for classification for conveyance under 
the provisions of the R&PP Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.), and 
43 CFR 2740:

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah

T. 42 S., R. 19 E.,
    Sec. 7, lot 47.

    The area described contains 2.5 acres in San Juan County.
    The classification is consistent with the Monticello Resource 
Management Plan, Lands and Realty Decisions LAR-3 and LAR-7, dated 
November 17, 2008, and is in the public interest. An environmental 
assessment has been prepared that analyzes the San Juan County 
application and proposed plans of development and management. A 
conveyance would 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);
    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.
    3. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the patentee's use, occupancy, or 
operations on patented lands.
    A conveyance would also be subject to valid existing rights.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the land 
described above is 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 and leasing under the mineral leasing 
laws.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a public municipal building. 
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 whether the use is consistent with state 
and Federal programs.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application, whether the BLM 
followed proper administrative procedures in reaching the decision, or 
any other factors directly related to the suitability of the land for a 
public municipal building.
    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.
    The BLM State Director will review any adverse comments. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification will become 
effective February 11, 2011. The lands will not be available for 
conveyance until after the classification becomes effective.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2741.5(h).

Juan Palma,
State Director.
