SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Section 7 of the Taylor

[[Page 39032]]

found suitable for classification for conveyance under the provisions 
of the R&PP Act, as amended, (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.):

Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming

T. 22 N., R. 87 W.,
    Sec. 34, N\1/2\SE\1/4\E\1/2\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\,SE\1/4\SE\1/4\.
    The land described contains 140 acres, more or less.

    The above described public land was previously classified for lease 
only under the R&PP Act on August 22, 1966, and has been leased to the 
City of Rawlins for landfill purposes since December 15, 1966.
    In accordance with the R&PP Act, the City of Rawlins filed an 
application for the above-described 140 acres of public land to be 
conveyed to Rawlins for continued use as the Rawlins landfill. 
Additional detailed information pertaining to this application, plan of 
development, and site plan is in case file WYW 0323440, located in the 
BLM Rawlins Field Office at the above address.
    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The conveyance is 
consistent with the Rawlins Resource Management Plan 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.
    The patent will be subject to all valid existing rights documented 
on the official public land records at the time of patent issuance.
    On August 22, 1966, the land described above was segregated from 
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. The conveyance classification continues the 
existing segregative effect.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for a landfill. Comments on the 
classification are restricted to whether the land is physically suited 
for the proposal, 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, whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures 
in reaching the decision to convey under the R&PP Act, or any other 
factor not directly related to the suitability of the land for R&PP 
use.
    Confidentiality of Comments: 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 publicly available 
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. Only written comments 
submitted by postal service or overnight mail to the Field Manager--BLM 
Rawlins Field Office will be considered properly filed. Electronic 
mail, facsimile or telephone comments will not be considered properly 
filed.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the 
absence of any adverse comments, the classification of the land 
described in this notice will become effective September 8, 2008. The 
lands will not be available for conveyance until after the 
classification becomes effective.

    Authority: 43 CFR part 2740.
