    Basis of Bearings: Per Record of Survey filed on September 29, 
2015, for the record under Instrument No. 2517339000 in the Office of 
the Recorder of Kootenai County, Idaho, at the request of Welch Comer 
and Associates, Inc.
    The above-described land in section 9 is claimed by the City of 
Coeur d'Alene on the basis that the land was patented to the Northern 
Pacific Railroad Company on December 22, 1894, under the Act of July 2, 
1864 (13 Stat. 356), and that the City of Coeur d'Alene is a successor 
in interest to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company in the described 
portion of section 9.
    A Recordable Disclaimer of Interest is necessary because there is a 
discrepancy in the chain of title, which clouds the title to the above-
described lands. The Kootenai County deed records at Volume C, page 
361, indicate that on August 24, 1887, Northern Pacific Railroad 
Company conveyed title to lot 4 of Section 9, T. 50 N., R. 4 W. to 
Robert W. Cochran. However, as stated above, the Northern Pacific 
Railroad Company did not receive a patent to this land until 1894. A 
disclaimer of the interest in the surface estate, as reflected in the 
1894 patent, makes clear that the U.S. does not have a claim to such 
lands except for the mineral rights specifically reserved in that 
patent. Issuance of a recordable disclaimer will remove any cloud on 
the title to the land.
    Comments, including names and street addresses of commenters, will 
be available for public review at the BLM Idaho State Office (see 
ADDRESSES above), during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 
except Federal holidays. Before including your address, phone number, 
email 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.
    If no valid objection is received, a Disclaimer of Interest may be 
approved, stating that the United States has no valid interest in the 
above-described land other than the reserved mineral interests in the 
above-described portion of section 9.

    Authority: 43 CFR Subpart 1864.

James M. Fincher,
Chief, Branch of Lands, Minerals and Water Rights.
