The above described lands are hereby classified for disposal in accordance with Executive Order 6910 and the Act of June 28, 1934, as amended. The lands were formerly segregated from sale by publication of a Notice of Realty Action (N58101) published in the Federal Register on January 14, 1994, in anticipation of an R&PP lease. Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the segregation against sale under the authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act is terminated and the subject lands are open to sale under the authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. Upon patent issuance for the subject lands, the Recreation and Public Purposes Act Lease N- 58101, issued to the Pershing County Fair and Recreation Board, shall terminate. The lands are not required for Federal purposes. Disposal is consistent with the Bureau's planning for this area and would be in the public's interest. This land is being offered by direct sale to the Pershing County Fair and Recreation Board. It has been determined that the subject parcel contains no known mineral values. Acceptance of a direct sale offer will constitute an application for conveyance of those mineral interests having no known value. The applicant will be required to pay a $50.00 non-refundable filing fee for conveyance of the said mineral interests. The land will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
