Abstract: The survey is designed to
gather feedback from planetary science
community members that have a self-
described interest in the use of
terrestrial analogs or places on earth
with past or present geological
environmental or biological conditions.
The survey is intended to assess the
obstacles that exist related to training,
research, sample collections, and data
archiving within analog projects, the
need for coordination across the
community, and what products and

terrestrial analog use and support
exploration. Results from the survey
will not be targeted at a particular
audience but will instead be used to
encourage responses and actions by
various parts of the community.

Submit comments to the address in
the
ADDRESSES
section. Before including
your address, phone number, email
address, or other personally identifiable
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including any personally
identifiable information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personally identifiable
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Any comments regarding the
proposed sale will be reviewed by the
BLM Nevada State Director or other
authorized official of the Department of
the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or
modify this realty action in response to
such comments. In the absence of any
comments, this realty action will
become the final determination of the
Department of the Interior.
The use of the modified competitive
sale method is consistent with 43 CFR
2711.3–2. Public lands may be offered
for sale by modified competitive
bidding procedures when the
authorized officer determines it is
necessary based on public policies. To
reduce the spread of COVID–19, this
sale will be modified to conduct a
competitive online sale through a
website portal. Consistent with
Executive Order 14008, Tackling the
Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,
utilizing an online auction format
would maximize the opportunity for
public involvement while reducing
greenhouse gas emissions that would
result from bidders traveling to Las
Vegas. In addition, utilizing an online
auction would encourage greater
participation by qualified bidders.
Federal law requires that bidders
must be:
(1) A citizen of the United States, 18
years of age or older;
(2) a corporation subject to the laws
of any state or of the United States;
(3) a state, instrumentality, or political
subdivision authorized to hold property;
or (4) an entity legally capable of
conveying and holding lands or
interests therein under the laws of the
State of Nevada.
The successful bidder must submit
proof of citizenship or articles of
incorporation within 30 days from
receipt of acceptance of bid letter.
Evidence of United States citizenship is
a birth certificate, passport, or
naturalization papers. Citizenship
documents or Articles of Incorporation
(as applicable) must be provided to the
BLM LVFO for each sale.

process, you must register and obtain a

approximately ten days after the date of
this notice and will remain available for
viewing until the completion of the
auction. The available parcels listed in
this notice will be detailed on
EnergyNet’s website. Interested parties
may visit the website at any time.
Potential bidders may register for the
online auction as soon as the auction
website is active.
Potential bidders are encouraged to
visit the website prior to the start of the
open bidding period to become familiar
with the site and review the bidding
instructions available at https://
www.energynet.com/page/Government_
Listings_Participation. Supporting
documentation is available on the
website to familiarize new users to the
process and answer frequently asked
questions.
Payments to the BLM will not be
made through the auction website. At
the conclusion of the final parcel’s
bidding period, the successful bidder for
each parcel will be provided
instructions by the online auction
system via email on how to make the
required payment to the BLM. In
addition, you will be required to pay a
commission fee to EnergyNet of 1.5
percent (a percentage) of the highest
qualifying bid for each parcel purchased
by successful bidders. EnergyNet will
submit a separate invoice via email to
each successful bidder for the total
amount due to the BLM and a separate
invoice for the amount due to
EnergyNet.
Parcels will begin online bidding at
the established FMV. Each parcel will
have its own unique open bidding
period, with start and stop times clearly
identified on the auction website. The
open bidding period for each parcel will
run for 24 hours from start to finish, and
only bids placed during this 24-hour
period will be accepted. Each parcel
will close bidding sequentially so that
each bidder will know if it is the highest
winning bid before subsequent parcels
close. The website will display each
current high bid, and the high bid
bidder’s number.
The online system allows participants
to submit maximum bids, which is the
highest amount a bidder is willing to
pay for each parcel, to enable a bidder
to participate in the online auction
without having to be logged into the
website at the time the auction period
closes. The auction website provides a
full explanation of placing maximum
bids, as well as an explanation of how
it works to place bids on your behalf to
maintain your high bidder status up to
the chosen maximum bid amount. The
BLM strongly encourages potential
bidders to review the bidding tutorial in
the Frequently Asked Questions area on
the auction website in advance of the
sale. EnergyNet will declare the highest
qualifying bid as the high bid. The
successful bidder must submit a deposit
of not less than 20 percent of the
successful bid amount by 4:00 p.m.,
Pacific Time, immediately following the
close of the sale in the form of a
certified check, postal money order,
electronic fund transfer, bank draft, or
cashier’s check made payable in U.S.
dollars to the ‘‘Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Land Management.’’
The BLM will send the successful
bidder(s) an acceptance of bid letter
with detailed information for full
payment. In accordance with 43 CFR
2711.3–1(d), the successful bidder will
forfeit the bid deposit if it fails to pay
the full purchase price within 180 days
of the sale. The BLM will make no
exceptions. The BLM cannot accept the
remainder of the bid price at any time
following the 180th day after the sale.
If a bidder is the apparent successful
bidder with respect to multiple parcels
and that bidder fails to submit the
minimum 20 percent bid deposit
resulting in default on any single parcel
following the sale, the BLM may cancel
the sale of all parcels to that bidder. If
a successful bidder cannot consummate
the transaction for any reason, the BLM
may consider the second highest bidder
to purchase the parcel. If there are no
acceptable bids, a parcel may remain
available for sale on a future date
without further legal notice.
The BLM LVFO must receive the
request for escrow instructions prior to
30 days before the prospective
patentee’s scheduled closing date. There
are no exceptions.
All name changes and supporting
documentation must be received at the
BLM LVFO by 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time,
30 days from the date on the high-
bidder letter. There are no exceptions.
To submit a name change, the apparent
successful bidder must submit the name
change in writing on the Certificate of
Eligibility form to the BLM LVFO.
The BLM must receive the remainder
of the full bid price for the parcel no
later than 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time, within
180 days following the day of the sale.
The successful bidder must submit
payment in the form of a certified check,
postal money order, bank draft, cashier’s
check, or make available by electronic
fund transfer payable in U.S. dollars to
the ‘‘Department of the Interior—Bureau
of Land Management’’ to the BLM
LVFO. The BLM will not accept
personal or company checks.
Arrangements for electronic fund
transfer to the BLM for payment of the
balance due must be made a minimum
of two weeks prior to the payment date.
The BLM will not sign any documents
related to 1031 Exchange transactions.
The bidder is responsible for timing for
completion of such an exchange. The
BLM cannot be a party to any 1031
Exchange.
In accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3–
1(f), the BLM may accept or reject any
or all offers to purchase or withdraw
any parcel of land or interest therein
from sale within 30 days, if the BLM
authorized officer determines
consummation of the sale would be
inconsistent with any law, or for other
reasons as may be provided by
applicable law or regulations. No
contractual or other rights against the
United States may accrue until the BLM
officially accepts the offer to purchase
and the full bid price is paid.
According to the SNPLMA, as
amended, Public Law 105–263 section
4(c), lands identified within the Las
Vegas Valley Disposal Boundary are
withdrawn from location and entry
under the mining laws and from
operation under the mineral leasing and
geothermal leasing laws until such time
as the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) terminates the withdrawal or
the lands are patented.
Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, the described land
will also be segregated from all forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, except
for the sale provisions of the FLPMA.
Upon publication of this notice and
until completion of this sale, the BLM
will no longer accept land use
applications affecting the parcels
identified for sale. The parcels may be
subject to land use applications received
prior to publication of this notice if
processing the application would have
no adverse effect on the marketability of
title, or the FMV of the parcel. The
segregative effect of this notice
terminates upon issuance of a patent or
other document of conveyance to such
lands, or publication in the Federal
Register of a termination of the
segregation. The total segregation period
may not exceed two years unless it is
extended by the BLM Nevada State
Director prior to the termination date in
accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d).
Terms and Conditions: FLPMA
Section 209, 43 U.S.C. 1719(a), states
that ‘‘all conveyances of title issued by
the Secretary . . . shall reserve to the
United States all minerals in the lands.’’
Accordingly, all minerals for the sale
parcels will be reserved to the United
States. The patents, when issued, will
contain a mineral reservation to the
United States for all minerals.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 16, 2022 / Notices
In response to requests to clarify this
mineral reservation as it relates to
mineral materials, such as sand and
gravel, we refer interested parties to the
regulations at 43 CFR 3601.71(b), which
provides that the owner of the surface
estate of lands with reserved Federal
minerals may ‘‘use a minimal amount of
mineral materials’’ for ‘‘personal use’’
within the boundaries of the surface
estate without a sales contract or permit.
The regulation provides that all other
use, absent statutory or other express
authority, requires a sales contract or
permit. The BLM refers interested
parties to the explanation of this
regulatory language in the preamble to
the final rule published in the Federal
Register in 2001, available at https://
www.federalregister.gov/d/01-29001,
which states that minimal use ‘‘would
not include large-scale use of mineral
materials, even within the boundaries of
the surface estate’’ (66 FR 58894).
Further explanation is contained in the
BLM Instruction Memorandum No.
2014–085 (April 23, 2014), available on
the BLM’s website at https://
www.blm.gov/policy/im-2014-085.
The following numbered terms and
conditions will appear on the
conveyance documents for the sale
parcels:
1. All mineral deposits in the lands so
patented, and to it, or persons
authorized by it, the right to prospect
for, mine, and remove such deposits
from the same under applicable law and
regulations to be established by the
Secretary are reserved to the United
States, together with all necessary
access and exit rights.
2. A right-of-way is reserved for
ditches and canals constructed by
authority of the United States under the
Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
3. The parcels are subject to valid
existing rights.
4. The parcels are subject to
reservations for roads, public utilities,
and flood control purposes, both
existing and proposed, in accordance
with the local governing entities’
transportation plans.
5. An appropriate indemnification
clause protecting the United States from
claims arising out of the patentee’s use,
occupancy, or occupations on the
patented lands.
To the extent required by law, the
parcel is subject to the requirements of
Section 120(h) of the CERCLA, as
amended. Accordingly, notice is hereby
given that the lands have been
examined and no evidence was found to
indicate that any hazardous substances
have been stored for one year or more,
nor that any hazardous substances have
been disposed of or released on the
subject properties.
No warranty of any kind, express or
implied, is given by the United States as
to the title, whether or to what extent
the land may be developed, its physical
condition, future uses, or any other
circumstance or condition. The
conveyance of a parcel will not be on a
contingency basis.

the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
