The South Fork Union School District has filed an application for

lease with the option to purchase a 40-acre parcel of public land to

construct a new school campus. The school will house a 1,000-student

facility for children attending Grades K-8 within the South Fork Union

School District.

The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Lease or conveyance

is consistent with current BLM 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 Recreation and Public Purposes Act and to

all applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.

2. 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).

3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together

with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.

4. All valid existing rights documented on the official public

land records at the time of lease/patent issuance.

5. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines

appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal

lands and interests therein.

Detailed information concerning this action is available for review

at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Caliente Resource Area,

4301 Rosedale Highway, Bakersfield, California.

Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands

will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the

public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease

or conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing

under the mineral leasing laws. For a period of 45 days from the date

of publication of this notice, until April 1, 1994 interested persons

may submit comments regarding the proposed lease/conveyance or

classification of the lands to the Area Manager, Caliente Resource Area

Office, 4301 Rosedale Highway, Bakersfield, CA 93308.

CLASSIFICATION COMMENTS: Interested parties may submit comments

involving the suitability of the land for a school campus. 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 BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching

the decision, or any other factor not directly related to the

suitability of the land for a school campus.
