SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land has been 
examined and found suitable for classification for conveyance under 
Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act, 43 U.S.C. 315f, and the provisions 
of the R&PP Act as amended:

Salt Lake Meridian

T. 7 S., R. 1 W.,
    Sec. 28, SW1/4.

    The area described contains 160 acres in Utah County, Utah.

    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose and is not of 
national significance. Conveyance is consistent with the BLM Pony 
Express Resource Management Plan--1990, and would be in the public 
interest. The BLM conducted a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment in 
November 2014, and no hazardous substances, petroleum products, or 
recognized environmental conditions were identified on the parcel. An 
Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared to analyze Utah County's 
proposed plan of development and management for the shooting range 
facility.
    The conveyance document, if issued, would be subject to the 
provisions of the R&PP Act and applicable regulations of the Secretary 
of the Interior and will contain the following reservations, terms, and 
conditions:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by 
authority of the United States pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890, 
43 U.S.C. 945.
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals under 
applicable laws and such regulations as the Secretary of the Interior 
may prescribe, including all necessary access and exit rights.
    3. The purchaser, by accepting the patent, agrees to indemnify, 
defend, and hold the United States harmless from any costs, damages, 
claims, causes of action, penalties, fines, liabilities, and judgments 
of any kind arising from the past, present, or future acts or omissions 
of the patentee, its employees, agents, contractors, or lessees, or any 
third party arising out of, or in connection with, the patentee's use, 
occupancy or operations on the patented real property. This 
indemnification and hold-harmless agreement includes, but is not 
limited to, acts and omissions of the patentee, its employees, agents, 
contractors, or lessees, or third party arising out of or in connection 
with the use and/or occupancy of the patented real property resulting 
in: (1) Violations of Federal, State, and local laws and regulations 
that are now, or in the future become, applicable to the real property; 
(2) Judgments, claims, or demands of any kind assessed against the 
United States; (3) Costs, expenses, or damages of any kind incurred by 
the United States; (4) Releases or threatened releases of solid or 
hazardous waste(s) and/or hazardous substances(s), as defined by 
Federal or State environmental laws, off, on, into, or under land, 
property, and other interests of the United States; (5) Other 
activities by which solid or hazardous substances or wastes, as defined 
by Federal and State environmental laws are generated, released, 
stored, used, or otherwise disposed of on the patented real property, 
and any cleanup response, remedial action, or other actions related in 
any manner to said solid or hazardous substances or wastes; or (6) 
Natural resource damages as defined by Federal and State law. This 
covenant will run with the patented real property and may be enforced 
by the United States in a court of competent jurisdiction.
    4. A limited reversionary provision stating that the title shall 
revert to the United States upon a finding, after notice and 
opportunity for a hearing, that the patentee has not substantially 
developed the lands in accordance with the approved plan of development 
on or before the date 5 years after the date of conveyance. No portion 
of the land shall under any circumstance revert to the United States if 
any such portion has been used for solid waste disposal or for any 
other purpose which may result in the disposal, placement, or release 
of any hazardous substance.
    5. Any other terms or conditions that the Authorized Officer 
determines appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of 
the Federal land and interests therein. Detailed information concerning 
this proposed project, including, but not limited to documentation 
relating to compliance with applicable environmental and cultural 
resource laws, is available for review at the BLM-Salt Lake Field 
Office at the address above.
    On July 14, 2015, the public land described above is segregated 
from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including 
the general mining laws, except for conveyance under the R&PP Act.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for the proposed facility. 
Comments on the classification are restricted to whether the land is 
physically suited for the proposal, whether the use will maximize the 
future use (or uses) of the land, whether the use is consistent with 
local planning and zoning, or whether the use is consistent with State 
and Federal programs.
    Application Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the specific use proposed in the application and plan of 
development and management, and whether the BLM followed proper 
administrative procedures in reaching the decision to convey under the 
R&PP Act.
    The BLM-Utah State Director will review any adverse comments and 
may sustain, vacate or modify this realty action. In the absence of any 
adverse comments, the classification of the land described in this 
notice will become effective September 14, 2015. The land will not be 
available for conveyance until after the decision becomes effective.
    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 2741.5.
