SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land in Emery 
County, Utah, is being considered for direct sale, subject to the 
applicable provisions of Sections 203 and 209 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) and 43 CFR parts 2711 and 
2720:

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah

T. 19 S, R. 8 E,
    Sec. 21, NE\1/4\ and NE\1/4\SE\1/4\.

    The area described contains 200 acres, according to the official 
plat of the survey of the said land, on file with the BLM.

    The proposed sale is in conformance with the BLM Price Field Office 
Resource Management Plan (PFO RMP) that was approved in October 2008. 
The parcel is identified for disposal, by sale, under Section 203 of 
the FLPMA in the PFO RMP on page 2 of Appendix R-11. This parcel is 
isolated from large blocks of public land making it difficult and 
uneconomic to manage. Pursuant to 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a)(4), the land would 
be offered to Pacificorp on a non-competitive basis due to the lack of 
public access and their ownership of the surrounding lands. Conveyance 
of the identified public land would be subject to valid existing rights 
and encumbrances of record. Conveyance of any mineral interests 
pursuant to Section 209 of the FLPMA will be analyzed during processing 
of the proposed sale. On July 16, 2018, 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 action, the BLM is no longer accepting land use 
applications affecting the identified public land. The segregative 
effect will terminate upon issuance of a patent, publication in the 
Federal Register of a termination of the segregation, or July 16, 2020, 
unless extended by the BLM Utah State Director in accordance with 43 
CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination date.
    For a period until August 30, 2018, 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 the Field Manager, 
BLM Price Field Office, at the above address. In order to ensure 
consideration in the environmental analysis of the proposed sale, 
comments

[[Page 32895]]

must be in writing and postmarked or delivered within 45 days of the 
initial date of publication of this notice. Comments, including names 
and street addresses of respondents, will be available for public 
review at the BLM Price Field Office during regular business hours, 
except holidays. Individual respondents may request confidentiality.
    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, be advised 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 from public review your personal identifying 
information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2711.1-2

State Director.
