Notice of Realty Action: Second Notice of Segregation of Land for 
a Non-Competitive (Direct) Sale of Public Land in Gilpin County, 
Colorado

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to sell four 
parcels of public land totaling 6.72 acres in Gilpin County, Colorado, 
to the City of Black Hawk (Black Hawk) under the direct sale provisions 
of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), for not 
less than the fair market value.

DATES: In order to ensure consideration in the environmental analysis 
of the proposed sale, comments must be received by June 17, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments concerning this notice to Keith 
Berger, Field Manager, BLM Royal Gorge Field Office, 3028 E. Main St., 
Canon City, CO 81212. Comments can be emailed to RGFO_Comments@blm.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Greg Valladares, Realty Specialist, 
BLM, Royal Gorge Field Office, at the above address or by phone, 719-
269-8513. Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf 
(TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-
877-8339 to contact the above individual during normal business hours. 
The FIRS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message 
or question with the above individual. You will receive a reply during 
normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public lands have 
been examined and found suitable for direct sale under the authority of 
Sections 203 and 209 of FLPMA, as amended (43 U.S. C. 1713 and 1719).

Sixth Principal Meridian, Colorado

T. 3 S., R. 73 W.,
    Sec. 12, lots 20, 21, 23, and 24.

    The areas described aggregate 6.72 acres.

    On May 6, 2016, the above described lands 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-of-way 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 on May 5, 2018. The original segregation was published 
under 79 FR 25887, dated May 6, 2014. The BLM Colorado State Director 
has determined that the extension is necessary to provide sufficient 
time to complete the environmental assessment on the direct sale to the 
City of Black Hawk.
    These public lands were identified as suitable for disposal in the 
1986 Northeast Resource Management Plan and are not needed for any 
other Federal purpose. The purpose of the sale is to dispose of public 
lands that are difficult and uneconomic to manage as part of the public 
lands and are not suitable for management by another Federal department 
or agency. The lands are considered difficult and uneconomic to manage, 
because they consist of irregularly shaped, isolated, and very small 
remnants left over after the issuance of intermingled mining claim 
patents. A direct sale is appropriate in this case, as the lands are 
proposed for sale to a local government to meet its needs for future 
water storage infrastructure. Black Hawk is in the process of 
completing the purchase of surrounding private parcels involved in the 
water project.
    Black Hawk has initiated an environmental assessment to support a 
Section 404 permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for 
water diversion, storage structures and infrastructure to meet 
forecasted needs. Analysis of the disposal of these lands

[[Page 26580]]

for possible inclusion in the proposed Quartz Valley Reservoir will be 
included within this environmental assessment.
    Conveyance of the identified public lands will be subject to valid 
existing rights and encumbrances of record, including, but not limited 
to, rights-of-way for roads and public utilities. Conveyance of any 
mineral interests pursuant to Section 209 of FLPMA will be analyzed 
during processing of the proposed sale.
    In addition to this Notice of Realty Action (NORA), notice of this 
sale will be published once a week for three weeks in the Mountain Ear 
and the Weekly Register-Call.
    The public lands will not be offered for sale until after July 5, 
2016. The patent, if issued, will be subject to all valid existing 
rights documented on the official public land records at the time of 
patent issuance. The availability of the appraisal report, mineral 
report and other documents pertinent to the proposed sale will be 
announced in a second NORA and made available to the public prior to 
the sale by the BLM at the Royal Gorge Field Office (address listed 
above).
    For a period until June 17, 2016, interested parties and the public 
may submit written comments to the BLM Royal Gorge Field Manager (see 
ADDRESSES section). Comments, including names and street addresses of 
respondents, will be available for public review at the BLM Royal Gorge 
Field Office during regular business hours. 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.
    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.
    The BLM Colorado State Director, who may sustain, vacate, or modify 
this realty action and issue a final determination, will review any 
comments. In the absence of any objections, this realty action will 
become the final determination of the Department of the Interior.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2711.1-2.

Ruth Welch,
BLM Colorado State Director.
