SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

About the Council 

In accordance with the North 

American Wetlands Conservation Act 

(Pub. L. 101–233, 103 Stat. 1968, 

December 13, 1989, as amended; 

NAWCA), the State-private-Federal 

North American Wetlands Conservation 

Council (Council) meets to consider 

wetland acquisition, restoration, 

enhancement, and management projects 

for recommendation to, and final 

funding approval by, the Migratory Bird 

Conservation Commission. NAWCA 

provides matching grants to 

organizations and individuals who have 

developed partnerships to carry out 

wetlands conservation projects in the 

United States, Canada, and Mexico. 

These projects must involve long-term 

protection, restoration, and/or 

enhancement of wetlands and 

associated uplands habitats for the 

benefit of all wetlands-associated 

migratory birds. Project proposal due 

dates, application instructions, and 

eligibility requirements are available on 

the NAWCA website at www.fws.gov/ 

birds/grants/north-american-wetlandconservation-act.php. 

About the Advisory Group 

In accordance with Neotropical 

Migratory Bird Conservation Act (Pub. 

L. 106–247, 114 Stat. 593, July 20, 2000; 

NMBCA), the Advisory Group will hold 

its meeting to discuss the strategic 

direction and management of the 

NMBCA program and provide advice to 

the Director of the Fish and Wildlife 

Service. NMBCA promotes long-term 

conservation of neotropical migratory 

birds and their habitats through a 

competitive grants program by 

promoting partnerships, encouraging 

local conservation efforts, and achieving 

habitat protection in 36 countries. The 

goals of NMBCA include perpetuating 

healthy bird populations, providing 

financial resources for bird 

conservation, and fostering international 

cooperation. Because the greatest need 

is south of the U.S. border, at least 75 

percent of NMBCA funding supports 

projects outside the United States. 

Project proposal due dates, application 

instructions, and eligibility 

requirements are available on the 

NMBCA website at http://www.fws.gov/ 

birds/grants/neotropical-migratory-birdconservation-act.php.

of public land in Esmeralda County, 

Nevada, to the Esmeralda County Board 

of Commissioners. The sale will resolve 

inadvertent unauthorized occupancy 

issues within the historic mining town 

site of Gold Point dating back to the late 

1800’s. The sale will be subject to the 

applicable provisions of the Federal 

Land Policy and Management Act of 

1976 (FLPMA). The appraised fair 

market value (FMV) for the sale parcel 

is $82,000. 

DATES: Interested parties may submit 

written comments regarding the sale 

and Environmental Assessment until 

October 11, 2018. The public land will 

not be offered for sale prior to October 

26, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to 

the BLM, Tonopah Field Office, Field 

Manager, 1553 South Main Street, P.O.

who use a telecommunications device 

for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal 

Relay Service (FRS) at 1–800–877–8339

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

historic Gold Point town site was a gold 

and silver mining camp known as Lime 

Point dating back to 1868, and later 

around 1908, as Hornsilver. The 

following public lands are involved in 

the sale: 

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada 

T. 7 S., R. 411⁄2 E., 

Sec. 3, Lot 5, Lot 6, SE1⁄4NW1⁄4, 

N1⁄2NE1⁄4SW1⁄4, SW1⁄4NE1⁄4SW1⁄4, 

W1⁄2SE1⁄4SW1⁄4, SE1⁄4SE1⁄4SW1⁄4, and 

SW1⁄4SW1⁄4SE1⁄4; 

Sec. 10, N1⁄2NW1⁄4NW1⁄4NE1⁄4, 

N1⁄2NE1⁄4NE1⁄4NW1⁄4, NW1⁄4NE1⁄4NW1⁄4, 

and N1⁄2NW1⁄4NW1⁄4. 

The area described contains 221.68 acres. 

Upon publication of this Notice in the 

Federal Register, the public land will 

segregate from all forms of 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the mining laws, and 

from operation under the mineral 

leasing and geothermal leasing laws 

except for the sale provisions of 

FLPMA. Upon publication of this Notice 

and until completion of the sale, the 

BLM will no longer accept new land use 

applications affecting the identified 

public lands. The BLM will manage 

existing land use authorizations, or 

previously filed applications for land 

use, in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 

and 2886.15. The segregation effect will 

terminate upon issuance of a patent, 

publication in the Federal Register of a 

termination of the segregation, or on 

August 27, 2020, unless extended by the 

BLM Nevada State Director in 

accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d) 

prior to the termination date. 

FLPMA, Section 203(a)(3) and 43 CFR 

2710.0–3(a)(2), allows disposal of public 

land that will serve important public 

objectives, including expansion of 

communities and economic 

development, which cannot be achieved 

prudently or feasibly on lands other 

than public lands, and which outweigh 

other public objectives and values. 

In accordance with 43 CFR 2710.0– 

6(c)(3)(iii) and 43 CFR 2711.3–3(a), a 

direct sale may be appropriate to resolve 

inadvertent, unauthorized occupancy of 

the land or to protect existing equities 

in the land. The sale, if completed, 

would protect the existing 

improvements and resolve inadvertent 

unauthorized use and occupancy. The 

parcel is not suitable for management by 

other Federal agencies and is not 

required for any other Federal purpose. 

The BLM may sell a tract of public 

land identified for disposal in an 

approved land use plan and meets the 

disposal criteria, as identified in 

FLPMA. The BLM Tonopah Resource 

Management Plan (RMP), Appendix 14, 

pages A–46 through A–49; dated 

October 2, 1997 designates the public 

land in question as suitable for disposal. 

The proposed action is consistent with
