land is not needed for any resource

program and is not suitable for

management by the Bureau or another

Federal department or agency.

The locatable and salable mineral

estate, excluding leasable minerals, will

be conveyed simultaneously with the

surface estate in accordance with

section 209(b)(1) of Federal Land Policy

Acceptance of the sale offer will

constitute application for conveyance of

the available mineral interests. The sale

$50.00 nonrefundable filing fee for

conveyance of the mineral interests

specified above with the purchase price

for the land. Failure to submit the

nonrefundable fee for the mineral estate

within the time frame specified by the

cancellation of the sale.

Upon publication of this Notice in the

Federal Register, the lands will be

segregated from all forms of

appropriation under the public land

laws, including the mining laws, but not

the mineral leasing laws or disposals

pursuant to Sections 203 and 209 of

FLPMA. The segregation shall terminate

upon issuance of a patent or other

document of conveyance, upon

publication in the Federal Register of a

termination of segregation, or 270 days

from date of this publication, whichever

occurs first.

The patent, when issued, will contain

the following reservations to the United

States:

1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or

canals constructed by the authority of

the United States. Act of August 30,

1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);

purposes granted to Valley Electric

Association, its successors or assigns, by

right-of-way Nev-066116, pursuant to

the Act of March 4, 1911; and

3. All other valid existing rights.

Should the sale proponent not

purchase the parcel, the lands may

remain for sale, over the counter, at the

appraised fair market value, until the

publication of this Notice in the Federal

Register. Interested parties may inquire

about the parcel at the Bureau of Land

Management, 50 Bastian Road, Battle

Mountain, NV 89820, Monday through
