ACTION: Notice of realty action.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes a non-competitive
(direct) sale of 24.79 acres
[[Page 63523]]
of public lands (the parcel) in Fremont County, Wyoming, to the Town of
Bairoil pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976
(FLPMA), as amended, to allow for community expansion and resolve an
unauthorized use of public lands. The sale will be subject to the
applicable provisions of section 203 of FLPMA and BLM regulations. The
appraised fair market value for the sale parcel is $7,500.00.
DATES: Submit written comments regarding this direct sale, including
notification of any encumbrances or other claims relating to the
identified lands until December 5, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Mail written comments concerning this notice should be sent
to the Field Manager, BLM Lander Field Office, 1335 Main Street,
Lander, WY 82520.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leta Rinker, Realty Specialist, at the
above address or telephone (307) 332-8405, or you may contact the BLM
Lander Field Office at the earlier-listed address.
Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of
hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or
TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals
outside the United States should use the relay services offered within
their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in
the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following-described public lands are
located 1.25 miles northwest of the town of Bairoil, in Fremont County,
Wyoming. The parcel has been examined and found suitable for sale under
the authority of Section 203 of FLPMA, as amended. The parcel is more
specifically identified as:
Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming
T. 27 N., R. 90 W.,
Sec. 34, Parcel A.
The area described contains 24.79 acres, according to the official
plat of the survey of the parcel on file with the BLM.
The sale is in conformance with the BLM Lander Resource Management
Plan, approved on June 26, 2014, which identifies this parcel of public
land as suitable for disposal on page 311, parcel number 175. The
parcel is not needed for any other federal purpose. Sale of the parcel
is not prohibited by Secretarial Order 3373 because it does not provide
access for outdoor recreation. The regulations at 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a)
permit the BLM to make direct sales of public lands when a competitive
sale is not appropriate, and the public interest would be best served
by a direct sale. In conformance with the National Environmental Policy
Act, the BLM prepared a site-specific environmental assessment (EA)
(DOI-BLM WY-R050-2019-0031 EA) that analyzed the sale of this parcel.
The BLM issued a finding of no significant impact and decision record
on September 23, 2021.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the above-
described lands will be segregated from all forms of appropriation
under the public land laws, including the mining laws, except the sale
provisions of FLPMA. Until completion of the sale action, the BLM is
not accepting land use applications affecting the identified public
land, except applications for the amendment of previously filed rights-
of-way applications or existing authorizations to increase the term of
the grants in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 and 2886.15. This
temporary segregation will terminate upon the issuance of a patent,
publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the
segregation, or on October 21, 2024, unless extended by the BLM Wyoming
State Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the
termination date.
In addition to this Notice of Realty Action, notice of this sale
will also be published once a week for three weeks in the Rawlins Daily
Times newspaper. The public land would not be offered for sale to the
Town of Bairoil prior to 60 days from the date of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.
The conveyance document, if issued, will be subject to all valid
existing rights documented at the time of patent issuance, including
the following terms, conditions, and reservations:
1. A rights-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
2. All minerals, together with the right to prospect for, mine and
remove such deposits from the same under applicable law and such
regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe.
The EA, appraisal, maps, and Environmental Site Assessment are
available for review (see the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above).
Only written comments submitted by postal service or overnight mail
to the address in the ADDRESSES section above will be considered as
properly filed. Electronic mail, facsimile or telephone comments will
not be considered. 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. Comments, including names and street addresses
of respondents, will be available for public review at the BLM Lander
Field Office during regular business hours, except holidays.
Any adverse comments regarding the sale will be reviewed by the BLM
Wyoming State Director, 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.
(Authority: 43 CFR 2711)
Andrew Archuleta,
Wyoming State Director.
