    The area described contains 16,077.59 acres, more or less, in 
Washakie and Big Horn Counties, Wyoming.

    The law authorizing the transfer of the land specifies that acreage 
may be added to or subtracted from the land to be conveyed to satisfy 
any mitigation requirements resulting from the NEPA analysis. The law 
provides that proceeds from the sale are to be used ``for acquisition 
of land and interests in land in the Worland District of the Bureau of 
Land Management that will benefit public recreation, public access, 
fish and wildlife habitat, or cultural resources.''
    On publication in the Federal Register the above-described land 
will be segregated from appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the mining laws. Until completion of the sale, the BLM is no 
longer accepting land use applications affecting the identified public 
land, except applications for the amendment of previously-filed right-
of-way applications or existing authorizations to increase the term of 
the grants in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15. The segregative effect 
will terminate upon issuance of a patent or publication in the Federal 
Register of a termination of the segregation, or 2 years after the date 
of publication in the Federal Register unless extended by the BLM State 
Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination 
date.
    Public Comments: Interested parties and the general public may 
submit in writing any comments concerning the land being conveyed by 
direct sale, including notification of any encumbrances or other claims 
relating to the identified land, to Field Manager, BLM Worland Field 
Office, at the above address. Before including your address, phone 
number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made public at any time. 
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.
