DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

[LLIDT03000.L14300000.EU0000; IDI–35323] 

Notice of Realty Action: Direct Sale of 

Public Land in Blaine County, ID 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of realty action. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) proposes to sell a 

parcel of public land totaling 17 acres in 

Blaine County, Idaho, to the Animal 

Shelter of Wood River Valley (Animal 

Shelter) for the appraised fair market 

value of $18,700. 

DATES: Comments regarding the 

proposed sale must be received by the 

BLM January 6, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

concerning the proposed sale should be 

sent to Ruth A. Miller, BLM Shoshone 

Field Manager, 400 West F Street, 

Shoshone, Idaho 83352. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tara 

Hagen, Realty Specialist, BLM Shoshone 

Field Office, 400 West F Street, 

Shoshone, Idaho 83352 or (208) 732– 

7205. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following described public land is being 

proposed for direct sale to the Animal 

Shelter in accordance with Sections 203 

and 209 of the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976, as amended, 

(43 U.S.C. 1713 and 1719), at no less 

than the appraised fair market value: 

Boise Meridian 

T. 2 N., R. 18 E., 

Sec. 17, lots 5, 6, and 7. 

The area described contains 17 acres in 

Blaine County. 

The appraised fair market value is 

$18,700. The public land is identified as 

suitable for disposal in the 1982 BLM 

Sun Valley Management Framework 

Plan, as amended, and is not needed for 

any other Federal purposes. 

The Animal Shelter is a non-profit 

corporation that provides public 

benefits to Blaine County (County) 

residents in the form of an adoption 

center, an impound facility for the 

County and local cities, administration 

of the county dog licensing program, 

and an informational and educational 

center. The Animal Shelter owns 

approximately 5 acres of private land 

abutting the east boundary of the 

proposed sale parcel. The Animal 

Shelter was issued a right-of-way for a 

road and a fence that cross the 17-acre 

subject parcel in August 1986 for a 

period of 30 years. Within the last 20 

years or so, the Animal Shelter has 

inadvertently encroached upon a 

portion of the 17-acre subject parcel 

with infrastructure and associated uses. 

The disposal of the 17 acres to the 

Animal Shelter would allow the BLM to 

support the local non-profit’s and local 

government’s interest in acquiring 

public lands; to extend community 

services; to dispose of an isolated parcel 

of public land; and would formally 

resolve an inadvertent trespass by the 

Animal Shelter. 

Regulations contained in 43 CFR 

2711.3–3 permit direct sales when a 

competitive sale is inappropriate and 

when the public interest would best be 

served by a direct sale, including the 

need to resolve inadvertent 

unauthorized use or occupancy of the 

lands, or when a tract is identified for 

transfer to State or local government or 

non-profit organizations. In accordance 

with 43 CFR part 2710, the BLM 

authorized officer finds that the public 

interest would best be served by 

authorizing the direct sale to the Animal 

Shelter, which would allow the 

identified lands to be consolidated with 

their adjacent private property to be 

used for purposes of an animal shelter 

and would allow the existing 

infrastructure and improvements on the 

17-acre subject parcel to remain. 

The subject parcel contains no known 

mineral values; therefore, the BLM 

proposes that the conveyance of the 

Federal mineral interests occur 

simultaneously with the sale of the 

land. The Animal Shelter will be 

required to pay a $50 nonrefundable 

filing fee for the conveyance of the 

mineral interests. 

On January 16, 2009, the above 

described land was segregated from 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the mining laws. The 

segregation terminates (1) Upon 

issuance of a patent, (2) publication in 

the Federal Register of a termination of 

the segregation, or (3) 2 years from the 

date of segregation, whichever occurs 

first. 

The land will not be sold before 

January 21, 2011. Any patent issued will 

contain the following terms, conditions, 

and reservations: 

1. A reservation to the United States 

for ditches and canals constructed by 

the 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. A notice and indemnification 

statement under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, Compensation 

and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9620(W)),

indemnifying and holding the United 

States harmless from any release of 

hazardous materials that may have 

occurred; 

4. An appropriate indemnification 

clause protecting the United States from 

claims arising out of the lessee’s/ 

patentee’s use, occupancy or operations 

on the leased/patented lands; and 

5. Additional terms and conditions 

that the authorized officer deems 

appropriate. Detailed information 

concerning the proposed land sale 

including the appraisal, planning and 

environmental documents, and a 

mineral report are available for review 

at the BLM Shoshone Field Office at the 

location identified in the ADDRESSES

section above. Normal business hours 

are 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, except for Federal 

holidays. 

Public Comments: Public comments 

regarding the proposed sale may be 

submitted in writing to the BLM 

Shoshone Field Manager (see 

ADDRESSES section) on or before January 

6, 2011. Comments received in 

electronic form, such as e-mail or 

facsimile, will not be considered. Any 

adverse comments regarding the 

proposed sale will be reviewed by the 

BLM Idaho 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, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment; you should be aware 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 your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Gregory Helseth, Renewable Energy 

Project Manager; telephone: (702) 515– 

5173; mailing address: BLM Southern 

Nevada District Office, 4701 N. Torrey 

Pines Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89130; 

or e-mail: Gregory_Helseth@blm.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

applicant, Solar Millennium, LLC, is 

authorized to construct the Amargosa 

Farm Road Solar Energy Project on 

approximately 6,320 acres of public 

land in 2 separate phases with a total 

generating capacity of approximately 

500 megawatts (MW) of power. The 

Amargosa Farm Road Solar Energy 

Project is a solar facility utilizing 

parabolic trough solar thermal 

technology. Phase 1 of the project will 

generate 250–MW and Phase 2 will 

generate 250–MW, with an average net 

output of approximately 232–MW for 

each phase. Each phase will consist of 

power blocks, a solar field, a heat 

transfer fluid and steam generation 

system, a nitrate salt thermal storage 

system, conventional water treatment, 

electrical switchgear, administration, 

warehouse, and maintenance facilities. 

The project facility will disturb 

approximately 4,350 acres of the 6,320 

acre project area and will include solar 

fields, power blocks, office buildings, 

maintenance building, parking area, lay 

down area, storm water detention basin, 

evaporation ponds, switch yard, and a 

realignment of Amargosa Farm Road. 

The Notice of Availability (NOA) for the 

Draft EIS analyzing impacts of the 

proposed project was published in the 

Federal Register on March 19, 2010 (75 

FR 13301) for public review and 

comment. A total of 37 comment letters 

were received on the Draft EIS. The 

comments were incorporated, where 

appropriate, to clarify the analysis 

presented in the Final EIS. The NOA for 

the Final EIS was published in the 

Federal Register on October 15, 2010 

(75 FR 63503). The Final EIS analyzes 

3 alternatives; a No Action Alternative, 

the Proposed Action, and a Wet-Cooled 

Alternative. These alternatives were 

shaped in part by comments received 

from the public and internal BLM 

review. 

Alternative 1: No Action. The No 

Action Alternative assumes the right-ofway application for the Amargosa Farm 

Road Solar Energy Project would be 

denied and the proposed project would 

not be built. 

Alternative 2: Proposed Action (DryCooled). This is the Environmentally 

Preferable Alternative that analyzes the 

construction, operation, maintenance 

and decommissioning of 2 dry-cooled 

solar power plants, each with a 

nameplate capacity of 250–MW and a 

net output of approximately 232–MW. 

Alternative 3: Wet-Cooled Alternative. 

Under the wet-cooled alternative, the 

proponent would construct and operate 

2 wet-cooled solar power plants, each 

with a nameplate capacity of 250–MW 

and a net output of approximately 242– 

MW. Each solar plant would be 

equipped with thermal storage 

capability and associated linear 

facilities. Construction and operation of 

a wet-cooled project would be similar to 

a dry-cooled plant, however, the net 

power output from a wet-cooled solar 

power plant facility is greater than the 

net power output from a dry-cooled 

solar power plant facility. Plant 

components and layout are similar 

under both the wet- and dry-cooled 

alternatives; the primary differences are 

the amount of water used for plant 

operations, the need for cooling towers 

for heat rejection from the steam cycle 

for the wet-cooled alternative, and the 

area needed for evaporation ponds. 

Because this decision is approved by 

the Secretary of the Interior, it is not 

subject to administrative appeal (43 CFR 

4.410(a)(3)).
