SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM will consider a direct sale for the
following public lands in Fresno and Monterey counties, California, in
accordance with Sections 203 and 209 of FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1713 and
1719):
Mount Diablo Meridian, California
T. 21 S., R. 13 E.,
Sec. 29, NE\1/4\NW\1/4\.
The area described contains 40 acres.
The direct sale of the public land is in conformance with the BLM's
1984 Hollister Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the Southern Diablo
Mountain Range and Central Coast of California, revised in 2007, and is
located under Land Tenure Adjustment (LTEN-COM3) on page 3-36 and shown
on Figure 27. Regulations at 43 CFR 2710.0-3(a) and 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a)
authorize the BLM to utilize a direct sale of public land when a
competitive sale is not appropriate and the public interest would best
be served by a direct sale. The BLM will dispose of a small, isolated
parcel that lacks legal public access making it difficult and
uneconomical to manage. The land is not suitable for management by
another Federal agency. The BLM will offer the lands to Timothy Haley
since he is the adjacent landowner and owns the access to the public
land. The other surrounding landowners are not interested in acquiring
the public land.
The BLM prepared a mineral potential report, dated July 31, 2014,
that concludes there are no known mineral values in the land offered
for direct sale. Therefore, the BLM intends to convey the Federal
mineral interest simultaneously with the sale. Timothy Haley will be
required to pay a $50 non-refundable filing fee for conveyance of the
available mineral interests and any associated administrative costs.
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 completion of the
sale, the BLM will no longer accept land use applications affecting the
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 2807.15 and 2886.15. The
segregative effect will terminate upon issuance of a patent,
publication in the Federal Register or a termination of the
segregation, or on June 8, 2018 unless extended by the BLM State
Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination
date. The BLM will publish this notice in the Monterey County Weekly
newspaper once a week for three consecutive weeks.
The conveyance document will include the following terms,
covenants, conditions, and reservations:
A reservation 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);
The conveyance document will convey the land subject to the
following:
1. Valid existing rights of record;
2. A right-of-way CACA 12914 for a communications site granted to
the State of California Department of General Services on behalf of the
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, (FLPMA);
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.
The BLM will make available the reports pertaining to the land,
which include an appraisal, environmental site assessment, and mineral
potential report for review at the address above. Until July 25, 2016,
interested parties may submit in writing any comments concerning the
land being considered for sale, including notifications of any
encumbrances or other claims relating to the parcel, to the Field
Manager, BLM Central Coast Field Office, at the address above.
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents will be
available for public review at the BLM Central Coast Field Office
during regular business hours, except holidays.
The BLM State Director or other authorized official of the
Department of the Interior will review comments regarding the parcel
and may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action in whole or in
part. In the absence of timely field 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 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.
