County.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management has determined that the lands 
described below are suitable for public sale under section 203 of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1713:

Sixth Principal Meridian

T. 16 N., R. 115 W.,
    Section 11, SW\1/4\SE\1/4\.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Becky Heick, Realty Specialist, Bureau 
of Land Management, Kemmerer Field Office, 312 Highway 189 North, 
Kemmerer, Wyoming 83101, 307-828-4506.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Land Management proposes to 
sell the surface estate of the above land to Mr. Gino Foianini, an 
adjacent landowner, by direct sale, at fair market value. The disposal 
of this land will resolve an inadvertent trespass.
    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 significant public values. The planning document and environmental 
assessment covering the proposed sale are available for review at the 
Bureau of Land Management, Kemmerer Field 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.
    3. Existing rights of record including a right-of-way, WYE-02679, 
to Austin Reservoir and Canal for irrigation facilities; a right-of-
way, WYE-016891, to Questar Gas Pipeline Company for an oil and gas 
pipeline; a right-of-way, WYC-063968, to Amoco Pipeline Company for an 
oil and gas pipeline; right-of-way, WYW-017230, to Pioneer Pipeline 
Company for an oil and gas pipeline; a right-of-way, WYW-77832, to 
Frontier Pipeline Company for an oil and gas pipeline; a right-of-way, 
WYW-88849, to Union Telephone Company for a telephone line; and a 
right-of-way, WYW-96321, to WorldComm, Inc. for a fiber optic line.
    Pursuant to the authority contained in Section 4 of Executive Order 
11990 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 a 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 
1.4 acres, located in the S\1/2\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\ of section 11, T. 
16 N., R. 115 W.
    There will be a decrease of 40 federal acres within the Upper Ranch 
Allotment. The four AUMs associated with the 40 acre parcel will be 
transferred from federal ownership to private ownership. Mr. Gino 
Foianini has signed a waiver allowing for cancellation of the four 
federal AUMs from his grazing permit.
    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 period of 45 days after issuance of this notice, interested 
parties may submit comments to the Field Manager, Kemmerer Field 
Office, Bureau of Land Management, 312 Hwy. 189 North, Kemmerer, WY 
83101. 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: February 5, 1999.
Jeff Rawson,
Field Manager.
