FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey M. Rawson, Area Manager, 
Bureau of Land Management, Kemmerer Resource Area, 312 Highway 189 
North, Kemmerer, Wyoming 83101, 307-877-3933.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Land Management proposes to 
sell the surface estate of the above land to PacifiCorp. PacifiCorp 
currently operates a portion of a clear water pond on the subject 
lands. This pond provides water storage for decanting and recycling of 
water associated with ash ponds used for the nearby Naughton Power 
Plant. The proposed direct sale to PacifiCorp would be made at fair 
market value.
    The proposed sale is consistent with the Kemmerer Resource Area 
Management Plan and would serve important public objectives which 
cannot be achieved prudently or feasibly elsewhere. The lands contain 
no other known public values. The planning document and environmental 
assessment covering the proposed sale are available for review at the 
Bureau of Land Management, Kemmerer Resource Area Office, Kemmerer, 
Wyoming.
    Conveyance of the above public lands will be subject to:
    1. Reservation of a right-of-way to the United States for ditches 
and canals pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890, 43 U.S.C. 945.
    2. Reservation of all minerals pursuant to section 209(a) of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1719.
    Pursuant to the authority contained in Section 4 of Executive Order 
11990 

[[Page 49626]]
dated May 24, 1977 (42 FR 26961), and the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1713, 1718, 1719, this sale will be 
subject to a permanent restriction which constitutes a covenant running 
with the land for the purpose of protecting and preserving the wetland 
area. The land may not be used for the construction or placement of any 
buildings, structures, facilities, or other improvements, including 
fences, and that ``new construction'' on the land as defined in Section 
7(b) of Executive Order 11990 is prohibited. The restriction applies to 
the drainage channel, which is approximately 337 feet in length and 8 
feet in width, total acreage .062, located in the NW\1/4\NE\1/4\NE\1/
4\SE\1/4\ of section 33, T. 21 N., R. 116 W.
    There will be no cancellation of existing federal grazing rights. 
Those AUMs associated with the above referenced parcel will be absorbed 
by the operators in the balance of the Cumberland Allotment.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the above 
described land will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under 
the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for 
leasing under the mineral leasing laws.
    For a 45 day period ending on November 13, 1995, interested parties 
may submit comments to the District Manager, Rock Springs District, 
Bureau of Land Management, P.O. Box 1869, Rock Springs, Wyoming 82901.
    Any adverse comments will be evaluated by the State Director who 
may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of 
any objections, this proposed realty action will become final.

    Dated: September 12, 1995.
Jeffrey M. Rawson,
Area Manager.
