SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The R&PP Act allows the BLM to convey public
lands to local governments for development of other public purposes if
the identified lands are not needed for any Federal purpose and the
conveyance is consistent with approved BLM land use plans. The subject
parcel is located near the Town of Pinedale in Sublette County, Wyoming
and is legally described as:
Sixth Meridian, Wyoming
T. 33 N., R. 109 W.,
Sec. 9, lot 4.
The area described contains 34.87 acres, according to the
official plats of survey of said land, on file with the BLM.
All interested parties will receive a copy of this notice once it
is published in the Federal Register. A copy of this notice will also
be published in the newspaper of local circulation once a week for 3
consecutive weeks.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the land
described above will be segregated from all other forms of
appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining
[[Page 23111]]
laws, except for conveyance under the R&PP Act, leasing under the
mineral leasing laws, geothermal leasing laws, and disposals under the
mineral material disposal laws.
The conveyance documents, if issued, would be subject to the
provisions of the R&PP Act, to all applicable regulations of the
Secretary of the Interior and the following conditions:
(1) A right-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 shall be reserved to the United States, together
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits for the
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior may prescribe;
(3) Terms or conditions required by law (including, but not limited
to, any terms or conditions required by 43 CFR 2741.4 and as deemed
necessary or appropriate by the Authorized Officer);
(4) An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United
States from claims arising out of the patentee's use, occupancy, or
operations on the patented lands; and
(5) Subject to valid existing rights.
Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the
specific use proposed in the applications, plan of development (POD),
site plans, and whether the BLM followed proper administrative
procedures in reaching the suitability for classification to convey
under the R&PP Act. Comments may also address the suitability for
classification of the lands and 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.
The proposed R&PP subsequent conveyance is consistent with the BLM
Pinedale Resource Management Plan, dated November 26, 2008. The BLM
prepared a parcel-specific Environmental Assessment (EA), document
number DOI-BLM-WY-D010-2025-0090-EA, in connection with this realty
action. It can be viewed at our online ePlanning website at <a href="https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2040144/510">https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2040144/510</a>. Other pertinent
information related to the project such as the POD and maps will also
be made available for review on the ePlanning website. Comments
received during the comment period will be considered in reaching a
decision regarding conveying the lands under the R&PP Act.
Before including your address, phone number, email, address, or
other personal identifying information in any of your comments, 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.
Any adverse comments received will be considered protests and will
be reviewed by the BLM Wyoming State Director, who may sustain, vacate,
or modify this realty action. In the absence of any adverse comments to
the NORA, the classification of lands will become effective 60 days
from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. In
the absence of any adverse comments to the EA, a decision will be made
in response to the R&PP application and will be posted on the ePlanning
website. The lands will not be available for lease and conveyance until
after the decision becomes effective.
(Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5.)
