    This Notice informs the public of an application submitted by the 
Fry Fire District, Arizona, for a non-competitive sale and conveyance 
of the reversionary interests of public land in Cochise County for the 
District's Recreation and Public Purposes Act patent 02-85-0038, held 
since 1985, for a fire station.
    The conveyance is requested by the Fry Fire District in order to 
commercially lease its facilities, which is currently prohibited under 
the Recreation and Public Purposes patent it holds. This would enable 
the Fry Fire District to commercially lease its facilities, including 
placement of infrastructure such as cell towers, generating revenue to 
support its firefighting and emergency medical services to the public.
    Issuance of the document of conveyance, a new patent, is in 
accordance with the 1992 Safford District Resource Management Plan 
(DOI-BLM-AZ-G010-1992-RMP-EIS) and the 1994 Land Tenure Amendment to 
the Safford District Resource Management Plan (EA/Decision Record No. 
AZ-040-04-12). Conveyance of the reversionary interest in the land is 
consistent with applicable Federal and county land use plans and meets 
the needs of the community. The land is not required for any other 
Federal purpose. This disposal would not impede access to Federal lands 
used for recreation, as the Federal lands in the vicinity would 
continue to have public access.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application or any other 
factor not directly related to the sale of the reversionary interest. 
The BLM will review and determine the validity of any adverse comments. 
In the absence of any adverse comments, the decision will become final. 
The lands will not be offered for conveyance until a determination of 
significance and Decision Record have been signed for the completed 
Environmental Assessment DOI-BLM-AZ-A020-2020-0029-EA found at: https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2000251/510.
    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 available to the public at any time. While you 
can ask 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 2711.

Field Manager.
