Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming

T. 29 N., R. 100 W.,
    Sec. 20, lots 7 and 9.

    The land described contains 25.47 acres, more or less.

    In accordance with the R&PP Act, WDSPCR filed an application for 
the above-described 73.42 acres of public land to be developed as part 
of the South Pass City State Historic Site. The additions include 
restoration of historic town-site buildings, an interpretive trail for 
historic gold mining features, a primitive camping area that would

use facilities. Additional detailed information pertaining to this 
application, plan of development, and site plan is in case file W-

    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The conveyance is 
consistent with the Lander Resource Management Plan dated June 9, 1987, 
and would be in the public interest. The patent, when issued, will be 
subject to the provisions of the R&PP Act and applicable regulations of 
the Secretary of the Interior, and will contain the following 
reservations to the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945); 
and
    2. All minerals, together with the right to prospect for, mine, and 
remove such deposits from the same under applicable law and such 
regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe.

all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including 
the general mining laws, except for conveyance under the R&PP Act, 
leasing under the mineral leasing laws, and disposals under the mineral 
material disposal laws.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments

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, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures
