SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Section 7 of the Taylor 
Grazing Act, (43 U.S.C. 315f), and Executive Order No. 6910, the 
following described public land in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, has been 
examined and found suitable for classification for lease and conveyance 
under the provisions of the R&PP Act, as amended, (43 U.S.C. 869 et 
seq.):

Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming,

T. 20 N., R. 101 W.
Sec. 28, SE\1/4\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\.

    The land described contains 10.00 acres, more or less.

    In accordance with the R&PP Act, the Sweetwater County Solid Waste 
Disposal District 1 (District) filed an application to 
purchase the above-described 10.00 acres of public land which has been 
leased to the District for solid waste disposal purposes since 1982. 
The land was classified for lease under the provisions of the R&PP Act 
and was originally leased as a sanitary landfill. The lease stopped 
operating as a landfill in 1992 and was converted to a solid waste 
transfer station. The transfer station has been in operation since then 
in conformance with the terms and conditions of the lease. Before the 
conveyance can occur, the land must be classified for conveyance under 
the provisions of the R&PP Act. Additional detailed information 
pertaining to this application, plan of development, and site plan is 
in case file WYW 74694, located in the BLM Rock Springs Field Office at 
the above address.
    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The conveyance is 
consistent with the Rock Springs Resource Management Plan dated August 
8, 1986, and would be in the public interest. The patent, when issued, 
will be subject to the provisions of the R&PP Act and applicable 
regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, and will contain the 
following reservations to the United States:
    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); 
and
    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 patent will be subject to all valid existing rights documented 
on the official public land records at the time of patent issuance.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for municipal and recreation 
uses. 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 to convey under the R&PP Act, or any other 
factor not directly related to the suitability of the land for R&PP 
use.
    Confidentiality of Comments: Before including your address, phone 
number, e-mail 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. Only written comments 
submitted by postal service or overnight mail to the Field Manager--BLM 
Rock Springs Field Office will be considered properly filed. Electronic 
mail, facsimile or telephone comments will not be considered properly 
filed.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification of the land 
described in this notice will become effective September 23, 2008. The 
lands will not be available for conveyance until after the 
classification becomes effective.
