identified the parcel as suitable for 

disposal in the Lower Sonoran Record 

of Decision and Resource Management 

Plan, approved September 2012, 

decision LR–2.1.1, which allows for the 

disposal of public lands suitable for 

disposal via any disposal method, 

including through sale procedures, on a 

case-by-case basis. The direct sale 

proposal meets the criteria for disposal 

of public land in Section 203(a)(1), (d) 

and (f) of FLPMA and regulations in 43 

CFR 2710.0–3(a)(3) and 43 CFR 2711.3– 

3(a)(5). The BLM proposes to offer the 

lands to Mrs. Barbara Lubich on a noncompetitive basis pursuant to 43 CFR 

2711.3–3(a)(5), because a direct sale 

would resolve the unauthorized 

occupancy of these lands and best serve 

the public interest. 

Upon publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, the above-described 

lands will be segregated from all forms 

of appropriation under the public land 

laws, including mining laws, except for 

the sale provisions of FLPMA. The 

segregation will terminate upon 

issuance of a patent, publication in the 

Federal Register of a termination of the 

segregation, or on August 14, 2020, by 

the BLM Arizona State Director in 

accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d) 

prior to the termination date. 

Terms and Conditions: All minerals 

for the sale parcel will be reserved to the 

United States. The patent, when issued, 

will contain a mineral reservation to the 

United States for all minerals. To clarify 

this, mineral reservation as it relates to 

mineral materials, such as sand and 

gravel, interested parties will be referred 

to regulation 43 CFR 3601.71(b), which 

provides that the owner of the surface 

estate of lands with reserved Federal 

minerals may ‘‘use a minimal amount of 

mineral materials for . . . personal use’’ 

within the boundaries of the surface 

estate without a sales contract or permit. 

The regulation provides that all other 

use, absent statutory or other express 

authority, requires a sales contract or 

permit. 

The public land would not be offered 

for sale to Mrs. Barbara Lubich until at 

least October 15, 2018, at no less than 

the appraised fair market value. A copy 

of the approved appraisal report is 

available at the address above, see 

ADDRESSES. The patent, when issued to 

Mrs. Barbara Lubich (who will become 

the patentee), will be subject to the 

following terms, conditions, and 

reservations: 

1. A reservation of a right-of-way to 

the United States for ditches and canals 

constructed by authority of the United 

States under the Act of August 30, 1890 

(43 U.S.C. 945); 

2. All mineral deposits in the lands so 

patented, and to it, or persons 

authorized by it, the right to prospect

the United States, together with all 

necessary access and exit rights; 

3. A condition that the conveyance be 

subject to valid existing rights of record, 

including right-of-way AZA–32517 to 

the Arizona Public Service Company, its 

successors or assigns, pursuant to the 

Act of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 

1761); 

4. An appropriate indemnification 

clause protecting the United States from 

claims arising out of the patentee’s use, 

occupancy, or operations on the 

patented land; and 

5. Additional terms and conditions 

that the authorized officer deems 

appropriate. 

Any adverse comments regarding this 

sale will be reviewed by the BLM 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
