Act Classification, Utah.

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

SUMMARY: The following public land in Garfield County, Utah has been 
examined and found suitable for classification for lease or conveyance 
to Garfield County under the provisions of the R&PP Act, as amended ( 
43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.):

Utah, T. 34 S., R. 5 W.,
    Sec. 30, SE\1/4\NE\1/4\NE \1/4\, NE\1/4\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\,

containing 20 acres.

    Garfield County proposes to use the land for a public safety 
facility; i.e., law enforcement complex. The land is not needed for 
Federal purposes. Lease or conveyance is consistent with current Bureau 
of Land Management land use planning and would be in the public 
interest.
    The lease/patent, when issued, will be subject to the following 
terms, conditions and reservations:
    1. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to all applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    3. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States (Act of August 30, 1890, 26 Stat. 391; 
43 U.S.C. 945).
    4. Those rights for power transmission line purposes granted to 
Garkane Power Association by right-of-way No. UTU-52866.
    5. All other valid existing rights.
    6. The leasee/patentee assumes all liability for and shall defend, 
indemnify, and save harmless the United States and its officers, 
agents, representatives, and employees (hereinafter referred to as the 
United States), from all claims, loss, damage, actions, causes of 
action, expense, and liability resulting from, brought for, or on 
account of, any personal injury, threat of personal injury, or property 
damage received or sustained by any person or persons (including the 
patentee's employees) or attributable to: (a) the concurrent, 
contributory, or partial fault, failure, or negligence of the United 
States, or (b) the sole fault, failure, or negligence of the United 
States.
    7. 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 five years after the date of 
conveyance.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
are segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public land 
laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease or conveyance 
under the R&PP Act and leasing under the mineral leasing laws.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a public service 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 if 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, whether the Bureau of Land Management followed proper 
administrative procedures in reaching the decision, or any other factor 
not directly related to the suitability of the land for a public 
service facility. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the Utah 
State Director who may vacate or modify this realty action and issue a 
final determination. In the absence of any adverse comments, this 
classification will become effective on May 24, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Comments will be accepted until May 10, 1999. Address
