Notice of Realty Action: Proposed Direct Sale of Public Land in 
Shoshone County, ID

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to sell a 0.07-
acre parcel of public land in Shoshone County, Idaho, to Sunshine 
Precious Metals, Inc. (Sunshine) for the appraised fair market value of 
$280.

DATES: Comments regarding the proposed sale must be received by the BLM 
on or before April 15, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning this proposed sale may be 
submitted to Field Manager, BLM Coeur d'Alene Field Office, 3815 
Schreiber Way, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho 83815.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janna Paronto, Realty Specialist, at 
3815 Schreiber Way, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho 83815 or phone (208) 769-5037.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 6, 2008, a Notice of Realty 
Action (NORA) was published in the Federal Register announcing the 
proposed direct sale and segregation of 5.07 acres of public land in 
Shoshone County, Idaho. No public comments were received as a result of 
the publication of the NORA. At this time, the BLM is no longer 
proposing to sell the 5-acre parcel and is announcing the proposal to 
sell only the 0.07-acre parcel, measuring 952 feet long and averaging 
about 3 feet wide. This sale will be made by direct sale to Sunshine in 
accordance with Sections 203 and 209 of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as amended (43 U.S.C. 1713 and 1719):

Boise Meridian

T. 48 N., R. 3 E.,
    Sec. 15 lot 24.

    Containing 0.07 acre, more or less.

    The area described contains 0.07 acre in Shoshone County, and its 
appraised fair market value is $280 based on an approved BLM appraisal. 
A copy of the appraisal is available for review at the location 
identified in ADDRESSES above. The 2007 BLM Coeur d'Alene Resource 
Management Plan identifies this parcel of public land as suitable for 
disposal through direct sale to the historic land user. This parcel is 
not needed for any Federal purpose and is difficult and uneconomic to 
manage as public land. The BLM is proposing a direct sale of the 0.07-
acre parcel, which is the smallest legal subdivision that can be used 
to describe this sliver of public land, to Sunshine. A direct sale is 
appropriate because Sunshine has used/occupied a building(s) located on 
this parcel since the 1930s. The public interest would be best served 
by disposing of this parcel to the user/occupant by direct sale. The 
disposal parcel contains no known mineral values and the conveyance 
would include the simultaneous conveyance of the Federal mineral 
interests with the sale of the land. In addition to the appraised fair 
market value, Sunshine would be required to pay a $50 nonrefundable 
filing fee for conveyance of the mineral interests. Any patent issued 
will be subject to all valid existing rights of record and contain the 
following terms, conditions, and reservations.
    a. A reservation of a right-of-way to the United States for ditches 
and canals constructed by authority of the United States under the Act 
of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
    b. A notice and indemnification statement under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 
U.S.C. 9620(h), indemnifying and holding the United States harmless 
from any release of hazardous materials that may have occurred. To the 
extent required by law, the sale will be subject to the requirements of 
section 120(h) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9620(h).
    Detailed information concerning the proposed land sale including 
the appraisal, planning and environmental documents, and a mineral 
report are available for review at the BLM Coeur d'Alene Office at the 
location identified in the ADDRESSES section above. Normal business 
hours are 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays.
    Public Comments: Public comments regarding the proposed sale may be 
submitted in writing to the BLM Coeur d'Alene Field Manager (see 
ADDRESSES section) on or before April 15, 2011. Comments received in 
electronic form, such as e-mail or facsimile, will not be considered. 
Any adverse comments regarding the proposed sale will be reviewed by 
the BLM Idaho State Director or other authorized official of the 
Department of the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this 
realty action in whole or in part. In the absence of timely filed 
objections, this realty action will become the final determination of 
the Department of the Interior not less than 60 days from March 1, 
2011.
    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.

    Authorities:  43 CFR Subparts 2710, 2711 and 2720.
