Notice of Realty Direct Sale of Public Lands to the Mary A. Clay 
Revocable Trust in Washakie County, WY, Worland Field Office, WYW-
156332

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Direct sale of public lands.

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

SUMMARY: The public surface estate has been determined to be suitable 
for disposal by direct sale under Section 203 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976, (90 STAT. 2750; 43 U.S.C. 
1713) and the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act of 2000, Pub. 
L. 106-248, July 25, 2000, to the Mary A. Clay Revocable Trust, the 
owner of improvements on the property.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Victor Trickey, Realty Specialist, BLM 
Worland Field Office, P.O. Box 119 (101 South 23rd Street), Worland, WY 
82401, (307) 347-5106.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will 
sell the described land at not less than the appraised fair market 
value of $1,924.00, in accordance with regulations at 43 CFR 2710.0-
6(f).

Sixth Principal Meridian

T. 47 N., R. 87 W.,
    Sec. 33, N\1/2\SE\1/4\SW\1/4\NW\1/4\NE\1/4\, N\1/2\S\1/2\SE\1/
4\NW\1/4\NE\1/4\
    Containing approximately 3.75 acres.

    The land described is hereby segregated from appropriation under 
the public land laws pending disposition of this action or 270 days 
from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, 
whichever occurs first.
    This land will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days after 
the date of this notice. This sale is consistent with BLM policies and 
the Washakie Resource Management Plan, dated September 2, 1988. This 
land is being offered by direct sale because a portion of a former girl 
scout visitor center building was located on land reconveyed to the 
United States, and the encroachment went unnoticed during the 
reconveyance. The proposed direct sale of the public land to the owners 
of the improvements, which is in compliance with an approved land use 
plan, would recognize the inequities that would be created if the tract 
were purchased by other than the sale proponent. Direct sale to resolve 
the unintended occupancy meets the criteria for disposal under the 
regulations at 43 CFR 2710.0-3(a)(3) and 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a)(5). In 
accordance with the regulations at 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a)(3) there is a 
need to recognize the inequitable economic consequences that would be 
created if the tract were purchased by other than the sale proponent. 
The authorized officer has determined that the public interest would 
best be served by direct sale of this parcel. The approved appraisal 
report, planning document, and environmental assessment covering the 
proposed sale will be available for review at the Worland Field Office, 
at the address listed above.
    The patent, when issued, will contain a reservation to the United 
States for ditches and canals and will be subject to rights-of-way of 
record, as follows:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890 
(43 U.S.C. 945);
    2. Those rights for road purposes granted to the Mary A. Clay 
Revocable Trust, its successors or assigns by Right-of-Way Serial No. 
WYW-123138, under Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1761-1771;
    3. Those rights for telephone purposes granted to Tri-County 
Telephone, its successors or assigns by Right-of-Way Serial No. WYW-
111951, under Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
1976, 43 U.S.C. 1761-1771; and
    4. Those rights for Federal aid highway purposes granted to the 
Wyoming Department of Transportation, its successors or assigns by 
Right-of-Way Serial No. WYW-23915, under the Act of August 27, 1958 as 
amended, Title 23 U.S.C. 317. For a period of 45 days from the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, interested parties 
may submit comments to the Field Manager, Worland Field Office, P.O. 
Box 119 (101 South 23rd Street), Worland, Wyoming 82401. In the absence 
of timely objections, this proposal shall become the final 
determination of the Department of the Interior. Comments including 
names and street addresses of respondents will be available for public 
review at the Worland Field Office during regular business hours (7:45 
a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) Monday through Friday, except holidays.
    Individual respondents may request confidentiality. If you wish to 
withhold your name or address from public disclosure under the Freedom 
of Information Act, you must state this prominently at the beginning of 
your comments. Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by 
law. All submissions from organizations or businesses, and from 
individuals identifying themselves as representatives of organizations
