AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The following described land in Clark County, Nevada, has been 
examined and found suitable for direct sale under section 203 of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (Pub. L. 94-579, as 
amended; 43 CFR 2711.3-3).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anna Wharton, Supervisory Realty 
Specialist, (702) 515-5095.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described land in Clark 
County, Nevada, was patented to the State of Nevada, Division of State 
Lands, pursuant to the Act of Congress of June 14, 1926 (44 Stat. 741, 
as amended; 43 U.S.C. 869), on July 20, 1983 for a prison (N-25221-02).

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada,

T. 16 S., 57 E.,
    Sec. 33, lots 1 to 12, inclusive, N\1/2\.

    Containing 687.09 acres, more or less.
    The patent contains a reversionary interest to the United States. 
The State of Nevada requests the purchase of the reversionary interest 
at not less than the fair market value of $124,000, as determined by a 
BLM-approved appraisal for a portion of the patented land, on the 
following described land. These lands were also previously segregated 
from mineral entry under case file number N-61968FD, with record 
notation as of October 1, 1997. This segregation on the following 
described land will terminate upon publication of this Notice of Realty 
Action.

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada,

T. 16 S., R. 57 E.,
    Sec. 33, W\1/2\SW\1/4\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\, 
N\1/2\NE\1/4\SW\1/4\NW\1/4\, NW\1/4\NW\1/4\SE\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    Containing 22.5 acres, more or less.
    The Federal interest has been examined and found suitable for sale 
under the provisions of section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-579, as amended; 43 CFR 2711.3-3).
    Direct sale procedures to the State of Nevada are considered 
appropriate, in this case, as the land described above was patented to 
the State of Nevada, and transfer of the Federal interest to any other 
entity would not protect existing equities in the land. The direct sale 
is consistent with the current Bureau planning for this area and would 
be in the public interest. The land is not required for any Federal 
purpose. The patent will be subject to the provisions of the Federal 
Land Policy and Management Act and applicable regulations of the 
Secretary of the Interior and the land will continue to be subject to 
the following reservations to the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. 391, 
43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine and remove such deposits from the 
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the 
Interior may prescribe.
    Detailed information concerning this action, including the approved 
appraisal report, is available for review at the Las Vegas Field 
Office, Bureau of Land Management, 4701 N. Torrey Pines Dr., Las Vegas, 
Nevada 89130.
    For a period until March 26, 2004, interested parties may submit 
comments to the Field Manager, Las Vegas Field Office, at the above 
address.

Application Comments

    Interested parties may submit comments regarding whether the BLM 
followed proper administrative procedures in reaching the decision or 
any other factor not directly related to the suitability of the land 
for a direct sale. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State 
Director.
    In the absence of any adverse comments, the decision will become 
effective April 12, 2004. The lands will not be offered for conveyance 
until after the decision becomes effective.

    Dated: October 24, 2003.
John C. Jamrog,
Acting Field Manager, Las Vegas, NV.
