SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Section 1013 of Public Law 116-9 directed the BLM to convey, without consideration, to the City of Hyde Park the following described public lands to be managed for public recreation or other public purposes consistent with uses allowed under the Act of June 14, 1926 (commonly known as the “Recreation and Public Purposes Act”):

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah

T. 12 N., R. 1 E.,

Sec. 1, S1/2 NE1/4.

The area described contains approximately 80 acres.

The legislatively-required disposal of this parcel, including both the surface and the mineral estate, is also consistent with Section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), as amended, which allows the BLM to convey the mineral estate along with a parcel of land when, as here, the BLM has determined that there are no known mineral values in the land.

Conveyance of the identified public lands will be subject to the Canal Act of 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945), valid and existing rights and encumbrances of record, including but not limited to, rights-of-way for roads and public utilities.

Upon publication of this Notice in the Federal Register, the above-described public lands will be segregated from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, except for the sale and conveyance provisions of the FLPMA. The temporary segregation will terminate upon: (1) Issuance of a conveyance document, (2) publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the segregation, or (3) on May 21, 2022, unless extended by the BLM Utah State Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d). Upon publication of this Notice in the Federal Register, the BLM is no longer accepting land use applications affecting the above-described public lands, except applications for the amendment of previously-filed rights-of-way applications or existing authorizations in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 and 43 CFR 2886.15.

After publication of this Notice in the Federal Register, the BLM will publish this Notice once each week for three consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the general vicinity of the above-described public lands. As Congress has directed the BLM to convey this parcel to the City of Hyde Park, the BLM is not inviting comments on this realty action.

Authority: Public Law 116-9, Section 1013, 43 U.S.C. 1713, and 43 U.S.C. 1719.
