[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 132 (Friday, July 10, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 37407] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-18388] [[Page 37407]] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management [UT-050-1020-01; UTU-76188] Proposed Classification Decision, State Indemnity Selection The Utah State School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration has filed a petition for classification and application to acquire the public lands, including the mineral estate, described below, under the provisions of Act of Congress of August 17, 1958 (72 Stat. 928) as amended, and the acts supplementary and amendatory thereto. This application has been assigned Serial Number UTU-76188. The Bureau of Land Management will examine these lands for evidence of prior valid existing rights or other statutory constraints that would bar transfer. This proposed classification is pursuant to Title 43, CFR 2400; and Section 7 of the Act of June 28, 1934. Information concerning these lands and the proposed transfer to the State of Utah may be obtained from the Bureau of Land Management, Richfield District Office, 150 East 900 North, Richfield, Utah 84701. For a period of 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed classification may present their views in writing to the State Director, Bureau of Land Management, 324 South State Street, P.O. Box 45155, Salt Lake City, Utah 84145-0155. Any adverse comments will be evaluated by the State Director who will issue a notice of determination to proceed with, modify, or cancel the action. In the absence of any action by the State Director, this classification action will become the final determination of the Department of the Interior. As provided by Title 43 CFR 2450.4(c), public hearing may be scheduled by the State Director if he determines that sufficient public interest exists to warrant the time and expense of a hearing. The lands included in the proposed classification are located within Garfield County, Utah, and are described as follows: Salt Lake Meridian, Utah T. 36 S., R. 11 E., Section 15: All Section 29: W\1/2\SW\1/4\, SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, W\1/2\SE\1/4\ T. 37 S., R. 11 E., Section 5: All. Containing 1480 acres. Individuals and corporations holding valid leases, permits, and/or rights-of-way on the public lands described above have been or will be notified of the proposed classification. Rights-of-way granted by the Bureau of Land Management on the above lands will transfer with the land, the transfer document will be subject to the rights-of-way, or the rights-of-way may be reserved to the United States (see Section 508 of FLPMA). Oil and gas leases (geothermal, other leasing act minerals) will remain in effect under the terms and conditions of the lease. (Upon expiration or termination of the leases, or any authorized extensions thereof, such rights shall automatically vest in the State.) State law and School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration procedures provide for the offering to holders of Bureau of Land Management grazing permits, licenses, or leases the first right to lease lands that are transferred to the State. This Classification notice constitutes official notice to holders of grazing use authorizations from the Bureau of Land Management that such authorizations will be terminated in part upon transfer of the land described above to the State of Utah. For a period of 45 days from the date of first publication indicated below, persons asserting a claim to or interest in the described lands, other than holders of leases, permits, or rights-of- way may file such claim with the State Director, Bureau of Land Management, 324 South State Street, P.O. Box 45155, Salt Lake City, Utah 84145-0155, with evidence that a copy thereof has been served on the State of Utah, School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration. Dated: July 2, 1998. G.
