-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing the
noncompetitive (direct) sale of a parcel of public land in Colorado to
resolve inadvertent and unauthorized use of public lands. The 6.62-acre
parcel is located in Delta County and will be sold to Bud Hawkins and
Cindy Hawkins at the appraised fair market value of $3,500. The sale
will be subject to the applicable provisions of sections 203 and 209 of
the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) and BLM land
sale regulations.

direct sale by October 3, 2022.

deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711

Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM will consider the direct sale, in
accordance with Sections 203 and 209 of FLPMA, of the following public
lands:
New Mexico Principal Meridian, Colorado
T. 51 N., R. 9 W.,
Sec. 17, lots 1 and 4.
The area described contains 6.62 acres, according to the
official plat of survey on file with the BLM.
There is no known mineral value in the parcel so the mineral estate
would also be conveyed in accordance with Section 209 of FLPMA. This
sale is in conformance with the BLM Gunnison Gorge National
Conservation Area (GGNCA) Record of Decision and Approved Resource
Management Plan decision LAND C-5, (pages 2-9) approved in November
2004. The parcel is located within the GGNCA planning area but is not
located within the GGNCA boundary. A parcel-specific environmental
assessment (EA), document number DOI-BLM-CO-S054-2020-0006 EA, was
prepared in connection with this realty action. It can be viewed online
at <a href="https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2000347/510">https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2000347/510</a>.
The land is suitable for direct sale under FLPMA, without
competition, consistent with 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a)(5), because there is a
need to resolve an inadvertent and unauthorized use of public lands,
which are encumbered by privately owned improvements.
Pursuant to the requirements of 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d), publication of
this notice in the Federal Register will segregate the land from all
forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining
laws, except for the sale provisions of FLPMA. Until
[[Page 50877]]
completion of the sale, the BLM will no longer accept land use
applications affecting the public land. The segregative effect will
terminate upon issuance of a patent, publication in the Federal
Register or on a termination of the segregation, or on August 18, 2024
unless extended by the BLM Colorado State Director in accordance with
43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination date.
The patents, if issued, will include the following terms,
covenants, conditions, and reservations:
1. A reservation to the United States for ditches and canals
constructed by authority of the United States under the Act of August
30, 1890;
2. Valid existing rights issued prior to conveyance;
3. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United
States from claims arising out of the patentee's use, occupancy, or
operations on the patented lands;
4. Additional terms and conditions that the authorized officer
deems appropriate.
The EA, appraisal, maps, and environmental site assessment are
available for review at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section
earlier. Interested parties may submit, in writing, any comments
concerning the sale, including notifications of any encumbrances or
other claims relating to the parcel (see ADDRESSES).
The BLM Colorado State Director will review adverse comments
regarding the parcel and may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty
action, in-whole or in-part. In the absence of timely objections, this
realty action will become the final determination of the Department of
the Interior.
In addition to publication in the Federal Register, the BLM will
also publish this notice in the Delta County Independent newspaper,
once a week, for 3 consecutive weeks.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comments, the BLM will
make your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--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 2711.1-2)
Stephanie Connolly,
Acting BLM Colorado State Director.
