Notice of Realty Action: Proposed Sale of Public Land, Wyoming

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has examined and found the 
following public lands located in Teton County, Wyoming, suitable for 
direct (non-competitive) sale under Section 203 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) at not less than the fair 
market value, to resolve an unintentional unauthorized use of public 
lands.

DATES: Comments regarding the proposed sale must be received by the BLM 
at the address below not later than July 8, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Send all written comments concerning this proposed sale to 
the Field Manager, Bureau of Land Management, Pinedale Field Office, PO 
Box 768, Pinedale, Wyoming 82941. Comments received in electronic form, 
such as e-mail or facsimile, will not be considered.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill Wadsworth, Realty Specialist, 
BLM, Pinedale Field Office, at the above address or at 307-367-5341.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following-described public land in Teton 
County, Wyoming, is being considered for direct (non-competitive) sale 
under the authority of Section 203 of the FLPMA (90 Stat. 2750, 43 
U.S.C. 1713):

Sixth Principal Meridian

T. 40 N., R. 116 W.,
    Sec 34, lot 14.
T. 40 N., R. 117 W.,
    Sec 25, lot 14.
    The area described contains 0.95 acres, more or less, in Teton 
County.

    The proposed direct sale is consistent with the objectives, goals 
and decision of the BLM Snake River Resource Management Plan dated 
April 5, 2004, and the land is not required for other Federal purposes. 
The direct sale of these lands to the adjacent landowners will resolve 
an unintentional, unauthorized occupancy of public land managed by the 
BLM including residences and agricultural buildings. In accordance with 
43 CFR 2710.0-6(c)(3)(iii) and 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a), direct sale 
procedures are appropriate to resolve an inadvertent unauthorized 
occupancy of the land or to protect existing equities in the land. The 
sale, when completed, would protect the improvements involved and 
resolve the inadvertent encroachment. The parcel is the minimum size 
possible to ensure that all the improvements are included.
    The BLM Snake River Resource Management Plan identified these lands 
suitable for disposal. The lands contain no other known public values.
    Conveyance of the identified public land will be subject to valid 
existing rights and encumbrances of record, including but not limited 
to, rights-of-way for roads and public utilities. The patent will 
include a notice and indemnification statement under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act. The parcel is 
subject to the requirements of Section 120(h) (42 U.S.C. Section 9620) 
holding the United States harmless from any release of hazardous 
materials that may have occurred as a result of the unauthorized use of 
the property by other parties. No warranty of any kind, express or 
implied, is given by the United States as to the title, physical 
condition or potential uses of the parcel of land proposed for sale. 
The BLM intends to retain all mineral rights.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands 
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the 
public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for 
conveyance under the FLPMA and leasing under the mineral leasing laws. 
Until completion of the sale, the BLM is no longer 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. The segregative effect will 
end upon issuance of the patent, publication in the Federal Register of 
a termination of the segregation, or May 24, 2012, unless extended by 
the BLM State Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to 
the termination date.
    For a period until July 8, 2010, the general public and interested 
parties may submit written comments concerning the land being 
considered for sale, including notification of any encumbrances or 
other claims relating to the identified land, to the BLM Field Manager 
at the above address.
    Detailed information concerning this action is available for review 
at the Bureau of Land Management, Pinedale Field Office, 1625 West Pine 
Street, Pinedale, Wyoming 82941.
    Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, be advised that 
your entire comment--including your personal identifying information--
may be publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your 
comment to withhold from public review your personal identifying 
information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM State Director, 
who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence 
of timely filed objections, this realty action will become the final 
determination of the Department of the Interior.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2711.1-2.

Brian Davis,
Acting Field Manager.
