Principal Meridian, Montana

T. 12 N., R. 14 W.
    Sec. 15, lot 17.

    The area described contains 1.08 acres, more or less, in Granite 
County, Montana.

    The parcel will be offered by direct sale at no less than the 
appraised fair market value of $5,800 to Robert C. Nylund and Sandra J. 
Nylund. The Nylunds are the owners of an adjoining parcel and 
improvements which lie partially on the subject parcel. The sale meets 
the disposal criteria in Section 203(a)(3) of FLPMA and 43 CFR 2710.0-
3(a)(2). Sale of the parcel also conforms to the criteria of the Garnet 
Resource Management Plan (RMP) approved January 10, 1986. Disposal by 
direct sale will protect existing equities in the land and resolve the 
longstanding, inadvertent unauthorized occupancy of the parcel and is 
provided for in 43 CFR 2710.0-6(c)(3)(iii).
    As proposed, the land will be conveyed subject to:
    1. A right-of-way for ditches and canals reserved by the United 
States pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
    2. All valid existing rights.
    The land will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days after 
the date of publication in the Federal Register. Unreserved mineral 
interests will be conveyed simultaneously with the sale of the land. 
These unreserved mineral interests have been determined to have no 
known mineral value pursuant to 43 CFR 2720.2(a). Acceptance of the 
sale offer will constitute an application for conveyance of those 
unreserved mineral interests.
    On January 18, 2008, the above-described land will be segregated 
from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining 
laws, except the sale provisions of the FLPMA. Until completion of the 
sale, the BLM is no longer accepting land use applications affecting 
the identified public land. The segregative effect will terminate upon 
issuance of a patent, publication in the Federal Register of a 
termination of the segregation, or January 19, 2010, unless extended by 
the BLM State Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to 
the termination date.
    To be considered, comments must be received at the BLM Missoula 
Field Office on or before March 3, 2008. Before including your address, 
phone number, e-mail 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. Only written comments 
submitted by postal service or overnight mail to the Field Manager, BLM 
Missoula Field Office will be considered properly filed. E-mail, 
facsimile or telephone comments will not be considered properly filed.
