ACTION: Direct sale of reversionary interest in previously patented public land in Nye County, Nevada. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The following described land in Nye County, Nevada, patented to the Nye County under provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended, has been examined and found suitable for elimination of the reversionary clause in the patent, under provisions of section 203 and section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713 and 1719). Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada T. 2 N., R. 42 E., Tract 37; Consisting of 11.71 acres, more or less. The above-described interest in the land would be conveyed directly to the present owner of record, Nye County. This interest will not be conveyed until at least 60 days after the date of [[Page 36396]] publication of this notice in the Federal Register. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Sladish, Land Law Examiner, Bureau of Land Management, Battle Mountain Field Office, 50 Bastian Road, Battle Mountain, NV, 89820, (775) 635-4029. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The land was patented in 1990 for use as a hospital, museum and senior garden. The patent (number 27-90-0147) includes a clause providing for title to the land to revert to the United States if the approved plan of development is not followed. The land has been substantially altered to the point where management by the Bureau of Land Management would not be feasible. The land is not needed for any resource program and is not suitable for management by another Federal department or agency. It would be difficult and uneconomic to manage, if title reverted to the United States. Nye County has requested full title to the subject parcel. This application to purchase the reversionary interest of the United States also constitutes an application for conveyance of the mineral interests. The applicant will be required to submit a $50.00 nonrefundable filing fee for conveyance of the mineral interest. Payment by Nye County of other fees associated with this transaction will also be required. Upon publication of this Notice of Realty Action in the Federal Register, the lands will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, pursuant to sections 203 and 209 of FLPMA. The segregation shall terminate upon issuance of a supplemental patent or other document of conveyance, upon publication in the Federal Register of a termination of segregation, or 270 days from date of this publication, which ever occurs first. Patent, when issued, will contain the following reservations to the United States: 1. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890, (43 U.S.C. 945); 2. A right-of-way for sewer line purposes, NEV-059832, and all appurtenances thereto, constructed by the United States through, over, or upon the land so patented, and the right of the United States, its agents or employees, to maintain, operate, repair or improve the same so long as needed or used for or by the United States. And will be subject to: 1.

Those rights for power line purposes which have been granted to Sierra Pacific Power Company, its successors or assigns, by right-of- way N-4879, pursuant to the Act of March 4, 1911, as amended (formerly U.S.C. 961). 3. Those rights for power line purposes which have been granted to Sierra Pacific Power Company, its successors or assigns, by right-of- way N-51997, pursuant to the Act of October 21, 1976, (43 U.S.C. 1761). 4.
