SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM has examined and found the following 
described public land suitable for classification and conveyance under 
the provisions of the R&PP Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.) and 
43 CFR part 2740. The following described land is hereby classified 
accordingly pursuant to the Taylor Grazing Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 
315(f)):

Salt Lake Meridian

T. 18 S., R. 8 E.
    Sec. 9, SE\1/4\SW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 40 acres, more or less, in Emery 
County.

    This 40-acre parcel is proposed to be transferred to Emery County 
for use as a trap shooting range and establishment of a rifle range. 
The BLM conducted a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment in May of 
2011. No hazardous substances, petroleum products, or recognized 
environmental conditions were identified on the 40 acre parcel; no 
further inquiry is needed to assess Recognized Environmental 
Conditions. The land is not needed for any Federal purpose of National 
significance. The classification is consistent with the BLM Price Field 
Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan, Lands 
and Realty Decision LAR-11, dated October 31, 2008, and is in the 
public interest. An environmental assessment has been prepared to 
analyze the Emery 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 
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.
    A conveyance would also be subject to the following terms and 
conditions:
    1. All valid existing rights.
    2. An indemnification clause protecting the United States from 
claims arising out of the patentee's use, occupancy, or operations on 
the land.
    3. A limited reversionary provision stating that the title shall 
revert to the United States upon a finding, after notice and 
opportunity for a hearing, that the patentee has not substantially 
developed the lands in accordance with the approved plan of development 
on or before the date 5 years after the date of conveyance. No portion 
of the land shall under any circumstance revert to the United States if 
any such portion has been used for solid waste disposal or for any 
other purpose which may result in the disposal, placement, or release 
of any hazardous substance.
    On September 29, 2011, 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. The grazing permittees have 
waived the 2-year notification period in accordance with 43 CFR 
4110.4(b).
