SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The State of Wyoming, State Parks and

includes an abandoned railroad fill across Willow Creek. They intend to 
use the land and railroad fill in a flood protection plan to protect 
their investment in the restored historic structures in the South Pass 
City State Historic Site.
    The publication of this Notice of Realty Action in the Federal 
Register shall segregate the above public lands from appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the mining laws. Any subsequent

filed and shall be returned to the applicant. The segregative effect of 
this Notice will terminate upon issuance of a conveyance document, 270 
days from the date of publication of this Notice, or when a 
cancellation Notice is published, whichever occurs first.
    This sale is consistent with Bureau of Land Management policies and 
the Lander Resource Management Plan (RMP). There will be no reduction 
of grazing privileges because the land to be sold consists primarily of

6910, the described lands are hereby classified for disposal by sale. 
The conveyance, when completed, will be subject to the following terms, 
conditions and reservations:

records at the time of patent issuance.
    2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.
    3. A right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
regarding the classification of the land as suitable for disposal 
through sale.

notice, interested parties may submit comments to the Field Manager,

effective 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.
