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. 25 N., R. 118 W.,
    Section 19, lot 38;
    Section 20, lot 33.

    The above lands aggregate 40 acres.

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. Robert Kirk, 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.
    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 the wetland 
areas. The land may not be used for the construction or placement of 
any buildings, structures, facilities, or other improvements, excluding 
fences, and that ``new construction'' on the land as defined in Section 
7(b) of Executive Order 11990 is prohibited. Draining or causing to 
drain any of the areas that are too wet for crop production would be 
prohibited. No disturbance of willows or filling of wet areas or 
alteration of the river channel for the purpose of creating farmable 
lands will be allowed without formal consultation with the Corps of 
Engineers. The restriction applies to the entire 40 acre parcel.
    Sale of the parcel will result in the cancellation of the Curtis 
Allotment and the 25 associated federal AUMs. Robert Kirk is the 
current lessee of this allotment, and has signed a waiver allowing for 
cancellation of this 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: April 21, 1999.
Jeff Rawson,
Field Manager.
