New Mexico Principal Meridian

    Sec. 23, lots 1 to 4, inclusive.

    The area described contains 130.56 acres more or less in 
Sandoval County.

    The 1986 BLM Rio Puerco Resource Management Plan maintained and 
reprinted in 1992, identifies this parcel of public land as suitable 
for disposal. Conveyance of the identified public land will be subject 
to valid existing rights and encumbrances of record, including but not

any mineral interests pursuant to Section 209 of the FLPMA will be 
analyzed during processing of the proposed sale.
    On April 8, 2010, 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, 
the BLM is no longer accepting land use applications affecting the 
identified public land, except applications for the amendment of 
previously filed right-of-way applications or existing authorizations 
to increase the term of the grants in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 
and 2886.15. The segregative effect will terminate upon issuance of a 
patent, publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the 
segregation, or April 9, 2011, unless extended by the BLM State 
Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination 
date.

parties and the general public may submit in writing any comments 
concerning the land being considered for competitive sale, including 
notification of any encumbrances or other claims relating to the

Office, at the above address. In order to ensure consideration in the
