Abstract: The USGS has a history of 

conducting research on uranium-bearing 

breccia pipe deposits to address data 

gaps related to the potential effects of 

uranium exploration and mining 

activities in the Grand Canyon 

watershed, its people, wildlife, and 

water resources. The USGS also 

recognizes a need to constantly update 

methods for communicating science to 

partners and non-scientists. The project 

proposed herein seeks to identify a path 

toward efficiently providing data and 

results to decision makers, stakeholders, 

partners, and the public to maximize the 

utility of science products. This 

research will advance USGS capability 

by documenting the efficacy of existing 

mining-related science communication 

efforts to partners and will advance 

USGS knowledge and use of 

communication methods to deliver 

actionable science to non-science 

audiences in the future. Information 

will be collected via semi-structured 

interviews conducted in person with 

members of the general public in the 

Grand Canyon watershed. 

Title of Collection: Science 

communication strategies related to 

mining activities. 

OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: NEW. 

Respondents/Affected Public: General 

public (2), State (6), and private 

businesses (3). 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 11. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 11. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: 45 minutes. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 9 hours. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Frequency of Collection: One time. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: None. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, nor is a person required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

[BLM_UT_FRN_MO4500170045] 

Notice of Realty Action: Modified 

Competitive Sale of Public Land in 

Emery County, Utah 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management. 

ACTION: Notice of realty action. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) proposes a modified 

competitive sale of an 80-acre parcel of 

public land in Emery County, Utah. The 

parcel would be offered for sale 

pursuant to the John D. Dingell Jr., 

Conservation, Management, and 

Recreation Act. The sale would be 

subject to the applicable provisions of 

the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as 

amended, and BLM land sale 

regulations. The surface estate would be 

sold for no less than the appraised fair 

market value of $34,000. 

DATES: Interested parties must submit 

written comments, postmarked, or 

delivered no later than December 11, 

2023. 

The land would not be offered for sale 

until after December 26, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments or 

submit sealed bids to the BLM Price 

Field Office, Field Manager, 125 South 

600 West, Price, UT 84501. Comments 

may also be emailed to utprmail@

blm.gov: with Parcel 15 Land Sale in the 

subject line or hand delivered to the 

BLM office during business hours, 8 

a.m.- 4:30 p.m. Mountain Time, Monday 

through Friday, except during Federal 

holidays. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patrick Ahrnsbrak, Realty Specialist, 

BLM Price Field Office, phone: 435– 

781–2753, or email: pahrnsbrak@

blm.gov. Individuals in the United 

States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of 

hearing, or have a speech disability may 

dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to 

access telecommunications relay 

services. Individuals outside the United 

States should use the relay services 

offered within their country to make 

international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The parcel 

proposed for sale is isolated from large 

blocks of Federal land by private land 

ownership, and is therefore difficult and 

uneconomic to manage. Enyo 

Renewable Energy, LLC (Enyo) initially 

nominated the parcel for the sale. Enyo 

leased private lands surrounding the 

parcel to develop the Hornshadow Solar 

Project, which is a planned 300- 

megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) power 

generation facility that has received a 

conditional use permit from Emery 

County. The proposed development is 

to construct and operate solar PV 

facilities on lands adjoining the 

northern and southern boundaries of the 

BLM sale parcel, also known as Parcel 

15. Subsequently, Enyo sold the 

Hornshadow Solar Project to DESRI 

Hornshadow Land Holdings, LLC, a 

wholly owned subsidiary of D.E. Shaw 

Renewable Investments (DESRI). DESRI 

has contributed to processing costs 

associated with the preparation of the 

modified competitive sale and has 

therefore been determined to be the 

designated bidder with the right to meet 

the highest bid. 

The following described public land 

in Emery County, Utah, located 

approximately three miles southeast of 

the town of Castle Dale, has been 

examined and found suitable for sale in 

accordance with section 203 of FLPMA, 

as amended (43 U.S.C. 1713): 

Parcel 15, UTU–95714 

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah 

T. 19 S., R. 8 E. 

Sec. 11, SE1/4SE1/4; 

Sec. 12, SW1/4SW1/4. 

The area described contains 80 acres, 

according to the official plat of the survey of 

the said land, on file with the BLM. 

The parcel proposed for modified 

competitive sale would include the 

conveyance of the surface interest of the 

United States in accordance with 

section 203 of FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1713). 

All mineral interest will be reserved to 

the United States in accordance with 

FLPMA section 209 (43 U.S.C. 1719). 

No warranty of any kind, express or 

implied, is given by the United States as 

to the title, whether or to what extent 

the land may be developed, its physical 

condition, future uses, or any other 

circumstance or condition. The 

conveyance of any parcel would not be 

on a contingency basis. However, to the 

extent required by law, the parcel is 

subject to the requirements of section 

120(h) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, Compensation 

and Liability Act (CERCLA). 

The proposed sale conforms with the 

BLM Price Field Office Resource 

Management Plan (RMP), approved in 

October 2008. The lands are identified 

as available for disposal and listed by 

the legal description in Appendix R–11 

of the RMP. A parcel-specific 

environmental assessment (EA), 

document number DOI–BLM–UT– 

G020–2022–0009–EA, was prepared in 

connection with this realty action and
