Notice of Application for Disclaimer of Interest; Pennington 
County, South Dakota

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: An application has been filed with the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) by Larin Roozenboom and Laura Roozenboom (hereafter 
``the applicants''), for a recordable Disclaimer of Interest from the 
United States. This notice is intended to inform the public of the 
pending application.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 27, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Address all written comments to Cynthia Staszak, Chief, 
Branch of Land Resources, BLM Montana State Office, 5001 Southgate 
Drive, Billings, MT 59101-4669. Only written comments will be accepted. 
Refer to serial No. SDM 98838.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tami Lorenz, BLM Montana State Office, 
5001 Southgate Drive, Billings, MT 59101-4669; 406-896-5053. Persons 
who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the 
Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to contact 
the above individual during normal business hours. The FIRS is 
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message or question 
with the above individual. You will receive a reply during normal 
business hours.

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 Part 1864, a recordable disclaimer, if 
issued, will confirm that the United States has no valid interest. The 
recordable Disclaimer of Interest application is for the surface and 
subsurface estate in the following described land:

Black Hills Meridian

    T. 2 N., R. 6 E.,
    Sec. 7, SE\1/4\SE\1/4\.

    The parcel located within the above described land contains 6.50 
acres in Pennington County.
    The SE\1/4\SE\1/4\ of sec. 7 is divided by a county boundary line 
which separates Meade County and Pennington County. The line runs east 
to west along the north side of the southern section line. There are 
approximately 6.50 acres between the county boundary and the south 
section line. The Federal surface and subsurface estate to be 
disclaimed lies within the Black Hills National Forest.
    Public Sale Patent No. 3863 dated June 1, 1898, conveyed T. 2 N., 
R. 6 E., Black Hills Meridian sec. 7, SE\1/4\SE\1/4\, containing 40 
acres, out of Federal ownership. Subsequent land transactions occurred 
between 1898 and October 16, 1900, when the same legal description was 
deeded back to the United States through Warranty Deed (WD) from Price 
& Baker Company. The legal description was correct, but erroneously 
cited only Meade County. The document was only recorded in Meade 
County.
    Pennington County's records, therefore, showed a tax delinquency, 
so the County sold the 6.50 acres in a tax sale on June 25, 1943, to 
L.A. Eberlein, the applicants' predecessor in interest. The cloud on 
the applicants' title was the initial error of not recording the 
document conveying ownership back to the United States in Pennington 
County, and Pennington County's subsequent error of selling the 6.50 
acres for non-payment of taxes.
    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.

    Authority: 43 CFR 1864.2.

Cynthia Staszak,
Chief, Branch of Land Resources.
