anticipates publishing an EA for the 

Yerington Anaconda Mine Site Disposal 

in early 2021. This document would be

ARC for a direct sale of public lands 

associated with the Anaconda Mine site 

near the town of Yerington in Lyon 

County, Nevada, as provided for in

Notice of Realty Action will be prepared 

for publication upon the publication of 

this notice. The project website can be 

found at https://go.usa.gov/xdVfj.

are provided during normal business 

hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with Section 7 of the Taylor 

Grazing Act and Executive Order No. 

6910, as amended, the BLM examined 

certain public lands in Sevier County, 

Utah, and found them suitable for 

classification for conveyance to Sevier 

County under the provisions of the 

Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) 

Act, as amended., 43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.; 

Sec. 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act, 43 

U.S.C. 315(f). 

Sevier County submitted a statement 

in compliance with the regulations at 43 

CFR 2741.4(b), and proposes to use the 

lands for expansion of the existing 

Sevier County landfill. The lands 

consist of 154.694 acres, must conform 

to the official plat of survey, and are 

legally described below. Sevier County 

has not applied for more than the 6,400- 

acre limitation for recreation uses in a 

year (or 640 acres if a nonprofit 

corporation or association), nor more 

than 640 acres for each of the programs 

involving public resources other than 

recreation. The lands examined and 

identified as suitable for lease or 

conveyance under the R&PP Act are 

legally described as: 

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah 

T. 22 S., R. 1 W., 

Sec. 34, SW1⁄4NW1⁄4SE1⁄4 and 

W1⁄2SW1⁄4SE1⁄4. 

T. 23 S., R. 1 W., 

Sec. 4, S1⁄2SW1⁄4SE1⁄4; 

Sec. 9, lots 16 and 19, NW1⁄4NE1⁄4, 

N1⁄2SW1⁄4NE1⁄4, and SW1⁄4SW1⁄4NE1⁄4. 

The areas described aggregate 154.694 

acres. 

The lands are not needed for any 

Federal purposes. 

Lease or conveyance of the lands for 

recreational or public purposes use is in 

conformance with the BLM Richfield 

Field Office Resource Management Plan, 

approved in October 2008, and would 

be in the public’s interest. The BLM 

analyzed the parcel in a site-specific 

environmental assessment (EA) 

numbered DOI–BLM–UT–C020–2018– 

0039–EA. The EA has been published 

on the project’s ePlanning site at https:// 

go.usa.gov/xvjmr. 

The conveyance of these parcels will 

not result in the loss of recreational 

access to adjacent lands in accordance 

with Secretary’s Order 3373, Evaluating 

Public Access in Bureau of Land 

Management Public Land Disposals and 

Exchanges. There are no anticipated 

impacts to recreational access to 

adjacent lands from the conveyance 

because the existing roads will either be 

retained in place or rerouted by Sevier 

County. Because of this, access will 

continue to be provided to the public 

lands both north and south of the two 

conveyance parcels. 

All interested parties will receive a 

copy of this notice once it is published 

in the Federal Register. A copy of the 

Federal Register notice with 

information about this proposed realty 

action will publish in a newspaper of 

local circulation once a week for three 

consecutive weeks. The regulations at 

43 CFR subpart 2741 addressing 

requirements and procedures for 

conveyances under the R&PP Act do not 

require a public meeting. Upon 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, the lands will be segregated 

from all other forms of appropriation 

under the public land laws, including 

locations under the mining laws, except 

for lease or conveyance under the R&PP 

Act and leasing under the mineral 

leasing laws. 

The lease or conveyance of the land, 

when issued, will be subject to the 

following terms, conditions, and 

reservations: 

1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches 

and canals constructed by the authority 

of the United States Act of August 30, 

1890 (26 Stat. 391; 43 U.S.C. 945). 

2. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to 

all applicable regulations of the 

Secretary of the Interior. 

3. All mineral deposits in the land so 

patented, and the right to prospect for, 

mine, and remove such deposits from 

the same under applicable law and 

regulations as established by the 

Secretary of the Interior are reserved to 

the United States, together with all 

necessary access and exit rights. 

4. Lease or conveyance of the parcel 

is subject to valid existing rights of 

record. 

5. An appropriate indemnification 

clause protecting the United States from 

claims arising out of the lessee’s/ 

patentee’s use, occupancy, or 

occupations on the leased/patented 

lands. 

6. A limited reversionary provision 

stating the title shall revert to the United 

States upon a finding, after notice and 

opportunity for a hearing, that the 

patentee has not substantially 

developed the lands in accordance with 

the approved plan of development on or 

before the date five years after the date 

of conveyance. No portion of the land 

shall under any circumstance revert to 

the United States if any such portion 

has been used for solid waste disposal, 

or for any other purpose, which may 

result in the disposal, placement, or 

release of any hazardous substance. 

7. The lessee/patentee shall comply 

with all Federal and State laws 

applicable to the disposal, placement, or 

release of hazardous substances. 

8. Any other reservations the 

authorized officer determines 

appropriate to ensure public access and 

proper management of Federal lands 

and interests therein. 

Classification Comments: Interested 

persons may submit comments 

involving the classification and 

suitability of the land for expansion and 

development of the existing landfill. 

Additionally, interested persons may 

submit comments regarding the specific 

use proposed in the application and 

plan of development and management, 

and whether the BLM followed proper 

administrative procedures in 

considering the decision to lease and 

convey under the R&PP Act. 

Application Comments: Interested 

persons may submit comments 

regarding the specific use proposed in 

the application and plan of

or conveyance until after the 

classification becomes effective.

Lake Havasu Field Office, Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM), to minimize 

the risk of potential collisions with 

spectators and racers during the annual 

Best In The Desert (BITD) off-highway 

vehicle (OHV) race events, Parker 250 

and Parker 425, authorized under a 

Special Recreation Permit (SRP).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 6, 2015, the Decision Record 

authorizing the BITD Parker Races SRP 

was signed. This permit authorizes the 

BITD to utilize the Parker 400 course for 

the Parker 425 race event on January 13 

through 16, 2021, and for the Parker 250 

race event on February 18 through 20, 

2021. The permit is authorized from 

2015 through 2024. The Environmental 

Assessment analyzing these routes (EA 

#DOI–BLM–AZ–C030–2014–0040) 

concluded that allowing permitted 

motorized racers exclusive use of the 

Lake Havasu Field Office Record of 

Decision/Approved Resource 

Management Plan (2007) designated 

Parker 400 course would mitigate safety 

concerns. These routes receive the most 

intense and concentrated high-speed 

use during the two annual permitted 

events. 

These temporary closures and 

restrictions affect public lands in and 

around the Parker 400 course near the 

communities of Parker and Bouse in La 

Paz County, Arizona. The temporary 

restriction areas are shown on the maps 

entitled ‘‘Parker 425 Map’’ and ‘‘Parker 

250 Map’’ found at http://go.usa.gov/ 

xfF8u. 

The temporary closures and 

restrictions are necessary because of the 

high-speed nature of the race event and 

the added safety concerns due to limited 

visibility when there is no daylight. 

Roads leading into the public lands 

under the temporary closure and 

restrictions will be posted with copies 

of the temporary closure, temporary 

restrictions, and associated maps to 

notify the public. The temporary closure 

and restriction orders will be posted in 

the Lake Havasu Field Office and online 

at https://www.blm.gov/office/lakehavasu-field-office. Maps of the affected 

area and other documents associated 

with this temporary closure are 

available at the Lake Havasu Field 

Office, 1785 Kiowa Avenue, Lake 

Havasu City, Arizona. 

The closures and restrictions are 

issued under the authority of 43 CFR 

8364.1, which allows the BLM to 

establish closures for the protection of 

persons, property, and public lands and 

resources. The closure and restrictions 

listed below are exactly the same as 

those published last year found at 84 FR 

71458. Violation of any of the terms, 

conditions, or restrictions contained 

within this closure order may subject 

the violator to citation or arrest with a 

penalty or fine or imprisonment or both 

as specified by law.
