SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 11, 1983, this public land was 
classified for public purposes pursuant to the Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act. The land was subsequently leased to Lyon County, Nevada 
for a public school site. The land was never developed as a school site 
and surrounding lands have been zoned for industrial use. The Lyon 
County School District is no longer interested in utilizing this land 
as a school site and the lease has been relinquished. The 40-acre 
parcel will be offered for sale directly to Wade/Fernley, L.P., the 
property owner of all adjoining lands. This sale is consistent with BLM 
policies and the Lahontan Resource Management Plan and is supported by 
Lyon County and the Town of Fernley, Nevada. The public interest will 
be served by offering this land for sale. The purpose of the sale is to 
dispose of a parcel of land which is difficult and uneconomical to 
manage as part of the public lands and which has potential for 
industrial development. No significant resource values will be affected 
by this transfer. The appraisal report, planning document, and 
environmental report covering the proposed sale are available for 
review at the BLM, Carson City District Office.

PATENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Patent for the land when issued will 
contain the following reservations to the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. All minerals other than those having no known mineral values. (A 
more detailed mineral reservation will appear in the patent.) and be 
subject to:
    Those rights for highway purposes granted to the Nevada Department 
of Transportation, its successors or assigns, by rights-of-way Nev-
054710 and CC-018420, pursuant to the Act of November 9, 1921 (42 Stat 
216).
    The sale will not result in a reduction of Animal Unit Months 
(AUMs) on BLM grazing permits.
    For a period of 45 days after publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments to James M. 
Phillips, Lahontan Resource Area Manager, Bureau of Land Management, 
Carson City District Office. Objections will be reviewed by the Carson 
City District Manager who may sustain, vacate or modify this realty 
action. In the absence of any objections, this realty action will 
become the final determination of the Department of the Interior.

    Dated this 12th day of December, 1995.
James M. Phillips,
Area Manager Lahontan Resource Area.
