amended (90 Stat. 2750, 43 U.S.C. 1713) and 43 Code of Federal 
Regulations 2711.3-3(a)(5). The proposed sale would resolve the 
inadvertent trespass upon the land. It has been determined that 
resource values will not be affected by the disposal of this parcel of 
public land.
    The parcel is described as:

New Mexico Principal Meridian

T. 23 N., R. 10 E.,

    The area described contains 0.27 acres, more or less, in Rio 
Arriba County.

    The patent, when issued, will contain a reservation to the United 
States for ditches and canals under the Act of March 30, 1890 and a 
reservation for all minerals. The parcel is being offered by direct 
sale to Mr. Frank Rendon of Rio Arriba County New Mexico, based on 
historic use and added improvements. The parcel has been used as a 
portion of the residence. Failure or refusal by Frank Rendon to submit 
the required fair market appraisal amount within 180 days of the sale 
of the land will constitute a waiver of this preference consideration.
    Upon publication of this Notice in the Federal Register, the land 
described above will be segregated from appropriation under the public 
land laws, including the General Mining Laws. The segregation will end 
upon issuance of the patent or 270 days from the date of publication,

to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, 
we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Any adverse comments 
will be reviewed by the Taos Field Manager, who may sustain, vacate, or 
modify this realty action. In the absence of any objects, or adverse 
comments, this proposed realty action will become final determination 
of the Department of the Interior.
