Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming

T. 22 N., R. 80 W.,
    Sec. 26, Lot 4 (metes and bounds survey)
    The area described contains 1.54 acres more or less.

    The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Lease and/or 
conveyance is consistent with the Great Divide RMP, dated November 9, 
1990, and would be in the public interest. The patent, if issued, will 
be subject to the following reservations, terms, and conditions:
    (1) Provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and all 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.
    (2) The patentee shall comply with all Federal and State laws 
applicable to the disposal, placement, or release of hazardous 
substances (hazardous substances as defined in 40 CFR part 302.)
    (3) If, at any time, the patentee transfers to another party 
ownership of any portion of the land not used for the purpose(s) 
specified in the application and approved plan of development, the 
patentee shall pay the Bureau of Land Management the fair market value, 
as determined by the authorized officer, of the transferred portion as 
of the date of transfer, including the value of any improvements 
thereon.
    (4) A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by 
authority of the United States, pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890 
(43 U.S.C. 945).
    (5) A reservation of all mineral deposits in the land so patented, 
and a right of the United States, or persons authorized by the United 
States, to prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the same 
under applicable laws and regulations as the Secretary of the Interior 
may prescribe.
    (6) Any other valid and existing rights and encumbrances of record.
    (7) Such other provisions as may be required by law.
    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 lease/
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act. The 
segregative effect shall terminate upon issuance of a patent, upon 
final rejection of the application, or 18 months from the date of this 
notice, whichever occurs first.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for historical cemetery purposes. 
Comments on the classification are restricted to whether the land is 
physically suited for the proposed use, 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 use proposed in the application and plan of 
development and management, whether the BLM followed proper 
administrative procedures in reaching the decision, or any other factor 
not directly related to the suitability of the land for the proposed 
use.
    For a period until March 3, 2008, interested parties and the 
general public may submit in writing any comments concerning the land 
being considered for sale, including notification of any encumbrances 
or other claims relating to the identified land, to the Field Manager,

consideration in the environmental analysis of the proposed sale, 
comments must be in writing and postmarked or delivered within 45 days 
of the initial date of publication of this Notice. Comments transmitted 
via e-mail or fax, will not be accepted.
    Any objections will be evaluated by the State Director, who may 
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of any 
adverse comments, regarding this realty action, it will become the 
final determination of the Department of the Interior. In the absence 
of any adverse comments, regarding the classification action, it will 
become effective March 18, 2008.
    Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will 
be available for public review at the Rawlins Field Office during 
regular business hours, except holidays. 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--
