   Thence, North 0deg14'18'' East along the west boundary of Section 6 a distance of 116.96 feet to the Point of Beginning.

   Metes and Bounds Basis of Bearings: Per a Record of Survey filed January 17, 2014, filed under Instrument No. 655830 in the office of the Recorder of Bingham County, Idaho, at the request of Keller Associates Inc.

   The land(s) described contain 56.60 acres, more or less.

   The above-referenced parcel was researched and described in the October 4, 2016, Disclaimer of Interest Report by Mark Smirnov, BLM Cadastral Surveyor (now retired). In his report, Mr. Smirnov references a BLM Official Dependent Resurvey approved on August 31, 2006, and filed on November 17, 2006. The report concludes that there were no original fraudulent or grossly erroneous errors made in the original public land surveys and, therefore, the land outside the originally described northerly meanders of the Snake River is a combination of non-substantial omitted

   lands and accretions to the original patent description.

   The parcel that is the subject of this disclaimer application is claimed by LaRue J. Rich and Violet B. Rich based on the fact that they are the current owners of the property immediately abutting the northerly boundary of the unsurveyed property. The adjacent property owned by LaRue J. Rich and Violet B. Rich was obtained via a United States patent that was issued on April 12, 1928 (no. 1014619), to their predecessor, Lafayette S. Rich, under the authority of the Desert Land Act of March 3, 1877 (19 Stat. 377). The unsurveyed parcel that is the subject of this disclaimer application abuts the patented property, and the application states that the parcel has been used by the Rich family as a part of their property since the family first entered the area in 1895. Issuing a recordable disclaimer would clarify title to the land. If no valid objection is received, a Disclaimer of Interest may be approved stating that the United States does not have a valid interest in the above-described land.

   Comments, including names and street addresses of commentors, will be available for public review at the BLM Idaho State Office (see ADDRESSES above), during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

   Authority: 43 CFR Subpart 1864.

   Chief, Branch of Lands, Minerals and Water Rights.
