SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lands are not needed for Federal 
purposes. Conveyance is consistent with current BLM land use planning 
and would be in the public interest. The conveyances, when completed, 
will be subject to the following terms, conditions and reservations:
    1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and to all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    2. All valid existing rights documented on the official public land 
records at the time of patent issuance.
    3. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    4. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States. 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 Recreation and Public Purposes 
Act and leasing under the mineral leasing laws.
    For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the proposed conveyance or classification of the lands to the 
Field Manager, Bureau of Land Management, Pinedale Field Office, P.O. 
Box 768, Pinedale, Wyoming 82941.
    The analysis may identify that an amendment to the Pinedale RMP is 
needed. If a plan amendment is needed, other notices, mailings, or 
media releases will announce a 30-day protest period on the proposed 
amendment.

Classification Comments

    Interested parties may submit comments involving the suitability of 
the lands for a shooting sports complex. Comments on the classification 
should only address whether the land is physically suited for a 
shooting sports complex (as appropriate), whether the use will maximize 
the future use or uses of the land, whether the use is consistent with 
local planning and zoning, or if the use is consistent with State and 
Federal programs.

Application Comments

    Interested parties may submit comments regarding the specific uses 
proposed in the conveyance applications and plans of development, 
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching 
the decisions, or any other factor not directly related to the 
suitability of the land for a shooting sports complex. Any adverse 
comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the absence of any

the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
