Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, as amended, the Taylor Grazing Act, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The WCWCD has not applied for more than the 
6,400-acre limitation for recreation uses in a year (or 640 acres if a 
nonprofit corporation or association), or more than 640 acres for each 
of the programs involving public resources other than recreation.
    The WCWCD submitted an application in compliance with the 
regulations at 43 CFR 2741.4(b). The lands examined and identified as 
suitable for lease or conveyance under the R&PP Act are legally 
described as:

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah

T. 40 S., R. 13 W.,
    Sec. 33, lots 16, 18, and 19.

    The area described contains 10.87 acres, according to the 
official plat of the survey of the said land, on file with the BLM.

    The lands are not needed for any Federal purposes. The lease or 
conveyance of the lands for recreation or public purposes use conforms 
with the BLM St. George Field Office Resource Management Plan, approved 
in March 1999, and would be in the public's interest. The BLM analyzed 
the parcel in a site-specific Environmental Assessment, DOI-BLM-UT-
C030-2012-0001-EA.
    All interested parties will receive a copy of this notice once it 
is published in the Federal Register. A copy of this notice with 
information about this proposed realty action will be published in the 
newspaper of local circulation once a week for three consecutive weeks. 
The regulations at 43 CFR subpart 2741 addressing requirements and 
procedures for conveyances under the R&PP Act do not require a public 
meeting.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the 
public land laws, including locations under the mining laws, except for 
lease or conveyance under the R&PP Act and leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws.
    The lease or conveyance of the land, when issued, will be subject 
to the following terms, conditions, and reservations:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States Act of August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. 391; 43 
U.S.C. 945).
    2. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to all applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior.
    3. All mineral deposits in the land so patented, and the right to 
prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the same under 
applicable law and regulations as established by the Secretary of the 
Interior are reserved to the United States, together with all necessary 
access and exit rights.
    4. Lease or conveyance of the parcel is subject to valid existing 
rights.
    5. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the lessee's/patentee's use, 
occupancy, or occupations on the leased/patented lands.
    6. A limited reversionary provision stating the title shall revert 
to the United States upon a finding, after notice and opportunity for a 
hearing, that, without the approval of the Secretary of the Interior or 
his/her delegate, the patentee or its successor attempts to transfer 
title to or control over the lands to another, the lands have been 
devoted to a use other than that for which the lands were conveyed, the 
lands have not been used for the purpose for which the lands were 
conveyed for a five-year period, or the patentee has failed to follow 
the approved development plan or management plan. 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.
    7. Any other reservations the authorized officer determines 
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal 
lands and interests therein.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM Utah State 
Director or other authorized official of the Department of the Interior 
who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence 
of any adverse comments, the classification will become effective on 
June 14, 2021. The lands will not be offered for lease or conveyance 
until after the classification becomes effective.
    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.
