    and SE\1/4\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The areas described aggregate 8.125 acres.

    The parcel would be sold to the adjacent landowners, Kent and Alice 
Smith, to resolve an inadvertent unauthorized use identified by the BLM 
in 2007 and confirmed through a private survey in 2009. The parcel 
represents the smallest legal subdivision that would wholly encompass 
all existing surface improvements and debris area associated with a 
former salvage and hauling operation.
    In accordance with 43 CFR 2710.0-6(c)(3)(iii) and 43 CFR 2711.3-
3(a), direct sale may be appropriate to resolve inadvertent, 
unauthorized occupancy of the land or to protect existing equities in 
the land. The sale, if completed, would protect the existing 
improvements and resolve the inadvertent unauthorized use and 
occupancy. The parcel is not suitable for management by other Federal 
agencies. A Notice of Intent to amend the Resource Management Plan 
(RMP) in support of the proposed sale was published on August 20, 2014 
(79 FR 49336). Both the amendment and sale action have been analyzed in 
Environmental Assessment (EA) No.

C010-2012-0058-EA. The lands have no known mineral value, no recognized 
environmental conditions, and no existing encumbrances of record.

    2. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the patentee's use occupancy or 
occupations on the patented lands.
    On August 20, 2014, the lands were segregated from the public land 
laws, including the mining laws, except for the sale provisions of 
FLPMA (79 FR 49336). Detailed information concerning the land sale 
including the EA, appraisal report, environmental site assessment, and 
mineral report are available for review at the BLM Cedar City Field 
Office.
    Any comments regarding the sale will be reviewed by the BLM State 
Director or other authorized official of the Department of the 
Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action in 
whole or in part. In the absence of timely filed objections, this 
realty action will become the final determination of the Department of 
the Interior.

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
