    Metes and Bounds Basis of Bearings: Per a Record of Survey filed 
January 17, 2014, filed under Instrument No. 655830 in the office of 
the Recorder of Bingham County, Idaho, at the request of Keller 
Associates Inc.
    The land(s) described contain 56.60 acres, more or less.
    The above-referenced parcel was researched and described in the 
October 4, 2016, Disclaimer of Interest Report by Mark Smirnov, BLM 
Cadastral Surveyor (now retired). In his report, Mr. Smirnov references 
a BLM Official Dependent Resurvey approved on August 31, 2006, and 
filed on November 17, 2006. The report concludes that there were no 
original fraudulent or grossly erroneous errors made in the original 
public land surveys and, therefore, the land outside the originally 
described northerly meanders of the Snake River is a combination of 
non-substantial omitted

lands and accretions to the original patent description.
    The parcel that is the subject of this disclaimer application is 
claimed by LaRue J. Rich and Violet B. Rich based on the fact that they 
are the current owners of the property immediately abutting the 
northerly boundary of the unsurveyed property. The adjacent property 
owned by LaRue J. Rich and Violet B. Rich was obtained via a United 
States patent that was issued on April 12, 1928 (no. 1014619), to their 
predecessor, Lafayette S. Rich, under the authority of the Desert Land 
Act of March 3, 1877 (19 Stat. 377). The unsurveyed parcel that is the 
subject of this disclaimer application abuts the patented property, and 
the application states that the parcel has been used by the Rich family 
as a part of their property since the family first entered the area in 
1895. Issuing a recordable disclaimer would clarify title to the land. 
If no valid objection is received, a Disclaimer of Interest may be 
approved stating that the United States does not have a valid interest 
in the above-described land.
    Comments, including names and street addresses of commentors, will 
be available for public review at the BLM Idaho State Office (see 
ADDRESSES above), during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 
except Federal holidays. Before including your address, phone number, 
email address, or other personal identifying information in your 
comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including your 
personal identifying information--may be made publicly available at any 
time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.

    Authority: 43 CFR Subpart 1864.

Chief, Branch of Lands, Minerals and Water Rights.
