Notice of Realty Action: Direct Sale of Public Land in Shasta
County, CA
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

proposes to sell a parcel of public land totaling approximately 40

John and Tina Dunlap for the appraised fair market value of $43,000.
DATES: Comments regarding the proposed sale must be received by the BLM
on or before November 19, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning the proposed sale should be sent
to the Field Manager, BLM, Redding Field Office, 355 Hemsted Drive,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following public land is proposed for
direct sale in accordance with Sections 203 and 209 of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as amended (43 U.S.C. 1713
and 1719).
Mount Diablo Meridian
T. 34 N., R. 1 W.,
Sec. 21, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\.
The area described contains 40 acres in Shasta County.
The public land was first identified as suitable for disposal by
exchange in the 1993 BLM Redding Resource Management Plan (RMP). The
Redding RMP was amended in 2005 to identify the land as available for
sale. The land is not needed for any other Federal purpose and its
disposal would be in the public interest. The purpose of the sale is to
dispose of public land which is difficult and uneconomic to manage as
part of the public lands and is not suitable for management by another
Federal department or agency. The land proposed for sale is considered
to be difficult and uneconomic to manage because it lacks legal access
and is isolated from other public lands in the region. The BLM is
proposing a direct sale to John and Tina Dunlap, who own all the
private land surrounding the public land proposed for sale. The BLM has
concluded that a competitive sale is not appropriate and that the
public interest would best be served by a direct sale to Mr. and Mrs.
Dunlap. The BLM has completed a mineral potential report which
concluded that there are no known mineral values on the land proposed
for sale. The BLM proposes to convey all mineral interests in land
proposed for sale. The conveyance of all Federal mineral interests
would occur simultaneously with the sale of the land. The purchaser
would be required to pay a $50 nonrefundable filing fee for processing
the conveyance of the mineral interests.
On October 5, 2012, the above described land will be segregated
from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including
the mining laws, except for the sale provisions of the FLPMA. Until
completion of the sale, the BLM will no longer accept land use
applications affecting the identified public land, except applications
for the amendment of previously filed right-of-way applications or
existing authorizations to increase the term of the grants in
accordance with 43 CFR 2802.15 and 2886.15. The temporary segregation
will terminate upon issuance of a patent, publication in the Federal
Register of a termination of the segregation, or on October 6, 2014,
unless extended by the BLM State Director in accordance with 43 CFR
2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination date. The land would not be sold
until at least December 4, 2012. Any conveyance document issued would
contain the following terms, conditions, and reservations:
1. A reservation of a right-of-way to the United States for ditches
and canals constructed by authority of the United States under the Act
of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
2. A condition that the conveyance be subject to all valid existing
rights of record;
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; and
4. Additional terms and conditions that the authorized officer
deems appropriate.
Detailed information concerning the proposed sale including the
appraisal, planning and environmental
[[Page 61024]]
documents, and mineral report are available for review at the location
identified in ADDRESSES above.
Public Comments regarding the proposed sale may be submitted in
writing to the attention of the BLM Redding Field Manager (see
ADDRESSES above) on or before November 19, 2012. Comments received in
electronic form, such as email will not be considered. Any adverse
comments regarding the proposed sale will be reviewed by the BLM State
Director or other authorized official of the Department of the
Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action in
whole or in part. In the absence of timely filed objections, this
realty action will become the final determination of the Department of
the Interior. Before including your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, be
advised 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 from public review your personal
identifying information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do
so.
Authority: 43 CFR 2711.1-2(a) and (c).
Cynthia Staszak,
Associate Deputy State Director for Natural Resources.
