Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 222 / Tuesday, November 18, 2014 / Notices 68693 

seq.), as amended. The parties’ revised 

agreement describes conservation 

practices designed to protect and 

enhance streambed and bankside 

habitats for the benefit of the 

yellowcheek darter, rabbitsfoot, and the 

19 State species of concern on private or 

non-Federal public lands enrolled under 

the revised agreement. 

We specifically request information, 

views, and opinions from the public via 

this notice on our proposed Federal 

action, including our determination that 

the revised agreement, including its 

proposed conservation measures, would 

have minor or negligible effects on the 

species covered by the revised 

agreement. Therefore, we determined 

that the revised agreement is a ‘‘loweffect’’ project and qualifies for 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) as provided by the 

Department of the Interior Manual (516 

DM 2 Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6 

Appendix 1). A low-effect project 

involves (1) minor or negligible effects 

on federally listed or candidates or their 

habitats, and (2) minor or negligible 

effects on other environmental values or 

resources. Further, we specifically 

solicit information regarding the 

adequacy of the revised agreement per 

50 CFR parts 13 and 17. 

The revised agreement describes land 

use practices and monitoring to ensure 

the continued survival of the covered 

species. Enrolled landowners who 

implement these measures would 

receive assurances against take liability 

for federally listed species, or for those 

species that might become federally 

listed in the future. Conservation land 

use practices will vary according to the 

needs of a particular enrolled 

landowner. Typical measures include 

controlling livestock access to streams; 

protection, enhancement, or restoration 

of streamside or in-stream habitats; 

species reintroduction to unoccupied 

suitable habitat; and other conservation 

measures that may be developed in the 

future.

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

If you wish to comment, you may 

submit comments by any one of several 

methods. Please reference TE138910 or 

TE138911 in such comments. You may 

mail comments to the Fish and Wildlife 

Service’s Regional Office (see

Covered Area 

The revised agreement covers 

approximately 558,615 acres of 

potentially eligible lands in the Upper 

Little Red River watershed in 

northcentral Arkansas. Lands eligible to 

enroll in the revised agreement include 

any non-Federal properties within the 

watershed of the Upper Little Red River, 

Archey Fork, Middle Fork, South Fork, 

and Devils Fork upstream from Greers 

Ferry Reservoir. 

Next Steps 

We will evaluate the enhancement of 

survival permit amendment 

applications, including the revised 

agreement, and any comments we 

receive, to determine whether the 

amendment applications meet the 

requirements of section 10(a)(1)(A) of 

the Act. We will also evaluate whether 

amendment of the section 10(a)(1)(A) 

enhancement of survival permits would 

comply with section 7 of the Act by 

conducting an intra-Service section 7 

consultation. We will use the results of 

this consultation, in combination with 

the above findings, in our final analysis 

to determine whether or not to amend 

the enhancement of survival permits. If 

we determine that the requirements are 

met, we will amend the enhancement of 

survival permits to add yellowcheek 

darter and rabbitsfoot to the Safe 

Harbor, and amend the Candidate 

Conservation Agreement to remove 

yellowcheek darter and to add the 19 

species of State concern. 

Authority 

We provide this notice under section 

10 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The two

tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
68694 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 222 / Tuesday, November 18, 2014 / Notices 

in mixed land ownership pattern of 

public and private lands and are 

adjacent to Interstate 80. The subject 

public land is described as: 

Parcel 1 containing 390.00 acres: 

Sixth Principal Meridian 

T. 18 N., R. 108 W., 

Sec. 10, W1⁄2W1⁄2NW1⁄4NE1⁄4, S1⁄2NE1⁄4, 

NW1⁄4, W1⁄2SW1⁄4, N1⁄2NE1⁄4SW1⁄4 and 

N1⁄2N1⁄2SE1⁄4. 

Parcel 2 contains 260.00 acres: 

Sixth Principal Meridian 

T. 18 N., R. 108 W., 

Sec. 12, W1⁄2NW1⁄4NE1⁄4, S1⁄2NE1⁄4, and 

NW1⁄4. 

The area described aggregate parcels 1 

and 2 totaling 650.00 acres. 

The parcels offered for the proposed 

modified competitive, sealed-bid sale 

are suitable for disposal and this action 

is in conformance with the Green River 

Resource Management Plan, Record of 

Decision approved on August 8, 1997. 

Conveyance of the identified public 

land will be subject to all valid existing 

rights of record. 

On April 23, 2013, the BLM published 

a Notice of Realty Action in the Federal 

Register (78 FR24219) to segregate the 

parcels from appropriation under the 

public land laws, including the mining 

laws, for a period of 2 years from the 

date of publication. This notice will be 

published once a week for 3 weeks in 

the Rock Springs Rocket Miner and the 

Green River Star news media. 

The use of the modified competitive, 

sealed-bid sale method is consistent 

with 43 CFR 2711.3–2. Under that 

provision, public lands may be offered 

for sale utilizing modified competitive 

bidding procedures when the 

authorized officer determines it is 

necessary in order to assure equitable 

distribution of land among purchasers 

or to recognize equitable considerations 

or public policies. Under the modified 

competitive bidding, procedure 

provided in 43 CFR 2711.3–2(a)(1)(i), a 

designated bidder is offered the right to 

meet the highest bid. Here the BLM has 

determined that the modified 

competitive procedures are appropriate 

because the City of Green River, 

Wyoming, has identified the parcels in 

question as part of the city’s future 

growth and development. Because the 

land pattern consists of public and 

private land and adjacent to the 

interstate, the BLM has determined that, 

the designated bidder is the City of 

Green River. Refusal or failure to meet 

the highest bid shall constitute a waiver 

of such bidding provisions. 

Factors to consider in determining 

when modified competitive procedures 

shall be used include, but are not 

limited to the needs of State and/or 

local government, adjoining 

landowners, historical users, and other 

needs for the parcel. This notice 

specifies the procedures for and method 

of modified competitive bidding, and a 

statement indicating the purpose or 

objective of the bidding procedures. 

Sale Procedures: Sealed bid envelopes 

must be clearly marked with ‘‘SEALED 

BID BLM LAND SALE, WYW–167526’’ 

on the front lower left-hand corner of 

the envelope and contain the completed 

Certificate of Eligibility, stating the 

name, mailing address, and phone 

number of the entity/person making the 

bid. A Certificate of Eligibility is 

available online at www.blm.gov/wy/st/ 

en/info/NEPA/documents/rsfo/

landsale.html or by contacting the Rock 

Springs Field Office. Sealed bids must 

be equal to or greater than the appraised 

FMV of the land. Sealed bids must 

include a certified check, money order, 

bank draft, cashier’s check, or any 

combination thereof, made payable to 

the Department of the Interior (DOI)– 

BLM for an amount not less than 20 

percent of the total amount of the bid. 

Personal and company checks will not 

be accepted. Sealed bids will be opened 

and recorded to determine the high 

bidder. The highest qualifying bid 

received will be declared the high bid 

for the parcel. The modified competitive 

sale process allows the designated 

bidder (the City of Green River) the 

opportunity to meet the high bid. 

The designated bidder, or their 

authorized representative, must be 

present at the bid opening. Should the 

designated bidder appoint a 

representative for this sale, they must 

submit in writing a notarized lawfully 

executed document identifying the level 

of capacity given to the designated 

representative signed by both parties. 

The designated bidder or its 

representative will have the opportunity 

to meet and accept the high bid as the 

purchase price. Should the designated 

bidder or its representative refuse to 

meet the high bid, the bidder submitting 

the high bid will be declared the 

successful bidder in accordance with 43 

CFR 2711.3–2(c). Should the designated 

bidder meet the high bid, a 20 percent 

deposit immediately following the close 

of the sale must be submitted in the 

form of a certified check, postal money 

order, bank draft, cashier’s check or any 

combination thereof, and made payable 

to the DOI–BLM. Bidders submitting 

matching high bid amounts for a parcel 

will be given an opportunity to submit 

a supplemental sealed bid. 

Bid deposits submitted by 

unsuccessful bidders will be returned 

by United States mail or upon 

presentation of photo identification at 

the Rock Springs Field Office. 

The successful bidder will be allowed 

180 days from the date of sale to submit 

the remainder of the full bid price in the 

form of a certified check, money order, 

bank draft, cashier’s check, or any 

combination thereof, made payable to 

the DOI–BLM. Personal and company 

checks will not be accepted. 

Arrangements for electronic fund 

transfer to the BLM for the payment 

balance due shall be made a minimum 

of 2 weeks prior to the payment date. 

Failure to submit the remainder of the 

full bid price prior to but not including 

the 180th day following the day of the 

sale, will result in the forfeiture of the 

20 percent bid deposit to the BLM in 

accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3–1(d), 

and the parcel will be offered to the 

second high bidder at their original bid. 

No exceptions will be made. If no 

successful bids are received, then the 

parcels will remain available for sale on 

a continuing basis in accordance with 

competitive sale procedures found at 43 

CFR 2711.3–1 without further legal 

notice. Bids submitted for unsold 

parcels will be opened on a monthly 

basis on the first Friday of each month 

at 10 a.m. MT at the Rock Springs Field 

Office, for a 6 month period. 

The Federal law requires that 

qualified bidders must be: (a) A United 

States citizen 18 years of age or older; 

(b) A corporation subject to the laws of 

any State or of the United States; (c) A 

State, State instrumentality, or political 

subdivision authorized to hold real 

property; or (d) An entity legally 

capable of conveying and holding lands, 

or interests therein, under the laws of 

the State of Wyoming. Where 

applicable, the entity shall also meet the 

requirements of (a) and (b) of this 

section. United States citizenship is 

evidenced by presenting a birth 

certificate, passport or naturalization 

papers. Failure to submit the 

appropriate documents to BLM 

concurrently with the bid shall result in 

the ineligibility of the bidder. 

Within 30 days of the sale, the BLM 

will provide written acceptance or 

rejection of all bids received. Pursuant 

to 43 CFR 2711.3–1, a bid is the bidder’s 

offer to the BLM to purchase the parcel. 

No contractual or other rights against 

the United States may accrue until the 

BLM officially accepts the offer to 

purchase and the full bid price is 

submitted by the 180th day following 

the sale. Any name changes and all 

supporting documentation must be 

received at the Rock Springs Field 

Office within 30 days after the sale; 

otherwise, the patent will be issued to 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 222 / Tuesday, November 18, 2014 / Notices 68695 

the name(s) on the bidder statement that 

is completed and submitted. To change 

the name on the bidder statement, the 

successful bidder must notify the Rock 

Springs Field Office in writing, and 

submit a new Certificate of Eligibility 

bidder statement. 

The parcel is subject to limitations 

prescribed by law and regulation, and 

certain encumbrances in favor of third 

parties. Prior to patent issuance, the 

holder of any right-of-way (ROW) 

within the parcel will be given the 

opportunity to amend the ROW for 

conversion to a new term, including 

perpetuity, if applicable, or conversion 

to an easement. The BLM will notify 

valid existing ROW holders of record of 

their ability to convert their compliant 

ROWs to perpetual ROWs or easements. 

In accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15, 

once notified each valid holder may 

apply for the conversion of their current 

authorization. 

The patent, if issued, will be subject 

to all valid existing rights documented 

at the time of patent issuance, including 

the following terms, conditions, and 

reservations:

In order to determine the FMV 

through appraisal, certain extraordinary 

assumptions and hypothetical 

conditions may have been made 

concerning the attributes and 

limitations of the land and potential 

effects of local regulations and policies 

on potential future land uses. Through 

publication of this notice, the BLM 

advises that these assumptions may not 

be endorsed or approved by units of 

local government. It is the buyer’s 

responsibility to be aware of all 

applicable Federal, State and local 

government laws, regulation and 

policies. This guidance may affect the 

subject lands, including any required 

dedication of lands for public uses. It is 

the buyer’s responsibility to be aware of 

existing or projected use of nearby 

properties. When conveyed out of 

Federal ownership, the lands will be 

subject to any applicable laws, 

regulations and policies of the 

applicable local government for 

proposed future uses. It will be the 

responsibility of the purchaser to be 

aware through due diligence of those 

laws, regulations and policies, and to 

seek any required approvals for future 

uses. Buyers should also make 

themselves aware of any Federal or 

State law or regulation that may affect 

the future use of the property. Any land 

lacking access from a public road or 

highway will be conveyed as such and 

future access acquisition will be the 

responsibility of the buyer. 

Information concerning the sale, 

appraisals, reservations, sale procedures

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. 

Any adverse comments regarding the 

sale will be reviewed by the Wyoming

who may sustain, vacate or modify this 

realty action. In the absence of any 

adverse comments, this realty action
