Notice of Intent/Notice of Realty
Action: Proposed Resource
Management Plan Amendment and
Non-Competitive Direct Sale of Public
Land in Johnson County, Wyoming
Bureau of Land Management.
Notice of intent; notice of Realty
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Action.
The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) proposes to amend
the September 22, 2015, Buffalo
Resource Management Plan (RMP) and
prepare an associated Environmental
Assessment (EA) to identify and allow
the non-competitive (direct) sale of 1.13
acres of public lands in Johnson County,
Wyoming, to William D. and Bonnie S.
Ross. The purpose of the sale would be
to resolve an inadvertent unauthorized
use of public lands. The sale would be
for no less than the appraised fair
market value of $555. The sale is subject
to the applicable provisions of Sections
203 of the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as
amended, and the BLM land
conveyance regulations. Section 203 of
FLPMA requires the parcel to meet
disposal criteria for sales in Section 202
of FLPMA, and specifically requires the
BLM to identify parcels for disposal
within the RMP or amend the RMP to
establish the disposal criteria in order to
dispose of the parcel.
DATES: Interested parties may submit
comments regarding the proposed RMP
amendment, classification of the land
for disposal and the proposed direct sale
by December 21, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
concerning this plan amendment and
direct sale may be submitted by mail to
Field Manager, BLM, Buffalo Field
Office, 1425 Fort St., Buffalo, Wyoming

at 1–800–877–8339. The FRS is
available 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, to leave a message or question
with the above individual. You will
receive a reply during normal business
hours. Project information will also be
available on the BLM’s ePlanning
website: https://go.usa.gov/xdFUQ.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
1960s, local landowners misinterpreted
the boundaries of their private property
and inadvertently built a home site that
encroached onto public land. The BLM
proposes to segregate the affected land,
amend the relevant RMP, and offer the
land for direct sale to resolve the issue.
The BLM will examine the following
described public lands located in
Johnson, County, Wyoming, for disposal
suitability under the authority of
Sections 202 and 203 of FLPMA:
Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
T. 44 N., R. 81 W.,
Sec. 30, parcel A.
The area described contains 1.13 acres.
Upon publication of this Notice in the
Federal Register, the public land
described above will be segregated from
all forms of appropriation under the
public land laws, including the mining
laws, except for the sale provisions of
the FLPMA. The segregation will
terminate upon (1) issuance of a
conveyance document; (2) publication
in the Federal Register terminating the
segregation; or (3) on November 4, 2022,
unless extended by the BLM Wyoming
State Director in accordance with 43
CFR 2711.1–2(d). Until completion of
the sale, the BLM will no longer accept
land use applications affecting the
identified public land in accordance
with 43 CFR 2807.15.
The BLM may sell a tract of public
land as a result of approved land use
planning if the sale of the tract meets
the disposal criteria. The 2015 Buffalo
RMP does not identify the 1.13 acres of
public land in question as suitable for
disposal. Therefore, to dispose of the
tract, the BLM must amend the RMP to
meet the requirements of FLPMA
Section 203 through planning. If
authorized, the underlying decision will
amend the Buffalo RMP, establishing
that ‘‘such tract, because of its location
or other characteristics, is difficult and
uneconomic to manage as part of the
public lands and is not suitable for
management by another Federal
department or agency.’’
The BLM will analyze the parcel and
develop an EA to evaluate the
environmental effects of the proposed

Jkt 253001
RMP amendment and the sale criteria
under FLPMA Section 203(a)(3) and 43
CFR 2710.0–3(a)(3) to ensure the
disposal of the tract will serve important
public objectives, including but not
limited to relieving BLM authority for a
parcel of public land that, because of its
location or other characteristics, is
difficult and uneconomic to manage as
part of the public lands and is not
suitable for management by another
Federal department or agency. After the
BLM has analyzed public scoping
comments and prepared the analysis,
the EA will be available for a 30-day
protest period.
The parcel being considered for direct
sale is not required for any other Federal
purpose. Regulations contained in 43
CFR 2710.0–6 (c)(3)(iii) and 2711.3–
3(a)(5) make allowances for direct sales
to resolve inadvertent unauthorized use
or occupancy of public land. The BLM
will consider selling this parcel if it is
determined that the public interest
would best be served by selling the 1.13acre parcel to William D. and Bonnie S.
Ross for the fair market value of at least
$555 to resolve the inadvertent
unauthorized use and ensure the federal
government receives fair compensation
for the sale of the parcel. The BLM has
determined the parcel is not an access
point for recreation in accordance with
Secretary’s Order 3373, Evaluating
Public Access in Bureau of Land
Management Public Land Disposals and
Exchanges. Disposal of this tract will
have no anticipated impacts on
recreational access to adjacent tracts of
publicly accessible lands.
The conveyance document, if issued,
will contain the following reservations;
excepting and reserving 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);
2. All the mineral deposits in the
lands so patented pursuant to the Act of
October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1719),
including, without limitation,
substances subject to disposition under
the general mining laws, the general
mineral leasing laws, the Materials Act
and the Geothermal Steam Act, and to
it, its permittees, licensees, lessees, and
mining claimants, the right to prospect
for, mine and remove the minerals
owned by the United States under
applicable law an such regulations as
the Secretary of the Interior may
prescribe. This reservation includes
necessary access and exit rights and the
right to conduct all necessary and
incidental activities including, without

limitation, all drilling, underground,
open pit or surface mining operations,
storage and transportation facilities
deemed reasonably necessary.
Unless otherwise provided by
separate agreement with the surface
owner, mining claimants, permittees,
licensees and lessees of the United
States shall reclaim disturbed areas to
the extent prescribed by regulations
issued by the Secretary of the Interior.
All causes of action brought to enforce
the rights of the surface owner under the
regulations above referred to shall be
instituted against mining claimants,
permittees, licensees and lessees of the
United States; and the United States
shall not be liable for the acts or
omissions of its mining claimants,
permittees, licensees and lessees.
3. An appropriate indemnification
clause protecting the United States from
claims arising out of the patentee’s use,
occupancy, or occupation on the
patented lands.
The conveyance document, if issued,
will be subject to all valid existing
rights. The BLM will publish this notice
in the Buffalo Bulletin newspaper once
a week for three consecutive weeks.
Comments will be accepted as discussed
in the ADDRESSES section above.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personally identifying information (PII)
in your comment, you should be aware

sale will be reviewed by the BLM
Wyoming State Director or other

such comments. In the absence of
comments, this realty action will
become the final determination of the
