Notice of Realty Action; Proposed Sale 

of Public Land, Idaho 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of realty action. 

SUMMARY: A parcel of public land 

totaling 40 acres in Lincoln County, 

Idaho, is being considered for direct 

sale, under the provisions of the Federal 

Land Policy Management Act of 1976 

(FLPMA), at no less than the appraised 

fair market value. 

DATES: In order to ensure consideration 

in the environmental analysis of the 

proposed sale, comments must be 

received by October 9, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Address all comments 

concerning this Notice to Tara Hagen, 

Realty Specialist, Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM), Shoshone Field 

Office, 400 West F Street, Shoshone, 

Idaho 83352. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tara 

Hagen, Realty Specialist, at the above 

address or phone at (208) 732–7205. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following described public land in 

Lincoln County, Idaho, is being 

considered for sale under the authority 

of Sections 203 and 209 of the Federal 

Land Policy and Management Act of 

1976 (90 Stat. 2750 43 U.S.C. 1713): 

Boise Meridian 

T. 6 S., R. 22 E., 

Sec. 29, SWSW. 

The area described contains 40 acres 

in Lincoln County. 

The 1985 BLM Monument Resource 

Management Plan identified this parcel 

of public land as suitable for disposal. 

The Amendments to Shoshone Field 

Office Land Use Plans for Land Tenure 

Adjustment and Areas of Critical 

Environmental Concern (2003) 

identified this parcel of land to be 

within the adjustment area of Zone 4. 

Public lands in Zone 4 are potentially 

suitable for disposal primarily by 

exchange; however, if land exchanges 

are not feasible, then land tenure 

adjustment via sale or R&PP patent will 

be considered. This parcel qualifies for 

disposal under the Federal Land 

Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA). 

Conveyance of the identified public 

land will be subject to valid existing 

rights and encumbrances of record, 

including, but not limited to, rights-ofway for roads and public utilities. 

Conveyance of any mineral interests 

pursuant to section 209 of the FLPMA 

will be analyzed during processing of 

the proposed direct sale. On August 25, 

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, except applications for the 

amendment of previously filed right-ofway applications or existing 

authorizations to increase the term of 

the grants in accordance with 43 CFR 

2807.15 and 2886.15. The segregative 

effect will terminate upon issuance of a 

patent, publication in the Federal 

Register of a termination of the 

segregation, or August 25, 2010 unless 

extended by the BLM State Director in 

accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d) 

prior to the termination date. 

Public Comments: For a period until 

October 9, 2008, interested parties and 

the general public may submit in 

writing any comments concerning the 

land being considered for sale, 

including notification of any 

encumbrances or other claims relating 

to the identified land, to Field Manager, 

BLM Shoshone Field Office, at the 

above address. In order to ensure 

consideration in the environmental 

analysis of the proposed sale, comments 

must be in writing and postmarked or 

delivered within 45 days of the initial 

date of publication of this Notice. 

Comments transmitted via e-mail will 

not be accepted. Comments, including 

names and street addresses of 

respondents, will be available for public 

review at the BLM Shoshone Field 

Office during regular business hours, 

except holidays. Individual respondents 

may request confidentiality. 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. If you wish to have your name or 

address withheld from public disclosure 

under the Freedom of Information Act, 

you must state this prominently at the 

beginning of your comments. Any 

determination by the BLM to release or 

withhold the names and/or addresses of 

those who comment will be made on a 

case-by-case basis. Such requests will be 

honored to the extent allowed by law. 

The BLM will make available for public 

review, in their entirety, all comments 

submitted by businesses or 

organizations, including comments by 

individuals in their capacity as an 

official or representative of a business or 

organization.
