Notice of Realty Action: Direct Sale of Public Lands in Sublette 
County, Wyoming

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to sell a 29.42-
acre parcel of public land in Sublette County, Wyoming, for the 
appraised fair market value to Magagna Bros Inc., to resolve an 
unintentional unauthorized use of public lands.

DATES: Comments regarding the proposed sale must be received by the BLM 
at the address below not later than March 2, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Send all written comments concerning this proposed sale to 
the Field Manager, BLM-Rock Springs Field Office, 280 Highway 191 
North, Rock Springs, Wyoming 82901. Comments received in electronic 
form, such as e-mail or facsimile, will not be considered.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Teri Deakins, Environmental Protection 
Specialist, at the above address or at 307-352-0211.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the provisions of 43 CFR 
Part 2710, the following described public land is proposed to be sold 
pursuant to the authority provided in Section 203 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as amended (43 U.S.C. 1713):

Sixth Principal Meridian, Sublette County, Wyoming

T. 27 N., R. 103 W.,
    sec. 4, lot 6.

    The area described contains 29.42 acres more or less.

    The appraised market value for this parcel is $4,000. The proposed 
sale is consistent with the objectives, goals and decision of the BLM 
Green River Resource Management Plan, dated August 8, 1997, and the 
land is not required for other Federal purposes. The direct sale of 
this land to Magagna Bros Inc. will resolve an unintentional, 
unauthorized occupancy of public land managed by the BLM including 
residences and agricultural buildings. In accordance with 43 CFR 
2710.0-6(c)(3)(iii) and 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a), direct sale procedures are 
appropriate to resolve an inadvertent unauthorized occupancy of the 
land or to protect existing equities in the land. The sale, when 
completed, would protect the improvements involved and resolve the 
inadvertent encroachment. The parcel is the minimum size possible to 
ensure that all the improvements are included. Magagna Bros Inc. will 
be allowed 30 days from the receipt of a written offer to submit a 
deposit of at least 20 percent of the appraised value of the parcel, 
and 180 days thereafter to submit the balance.
    On November 3, 2008 the above described land was segregated from 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws. 
The segregative effect of this notice shall terminate upon issuance of 
a patent, upon publication in the Federal Register of a termination of 
the segregation, or 2 years from date of segregation, whichever comes 
first.
    The following reservations, rights, and conditions will be included 
in the patent that may be issued for the above parcel of Federal land:
    1. A reservation of all minerals to the United States;
    2. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States pursuant to the Act of August 30, 890 
(43 U.S.C. 945);
    3. All valid existing rights of record, including those documented 
on the official public land records at the time of patent issuance. 
Detailed information concerning the proposed land sale, including sale 
procedures, appraisal, planning and environmental documents, and a 
mineral report is available for review at the BLM, Rock Springs Field 
Office at the above address. Normal business hours are 7:45 a.m. to 
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
    For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register, the general public and interested parties may 
submit written comments to the BLM Field Manager at the above address. 
Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other 
personal identifying information in your comment, be advised that your 
entire comment--including your personal identifying information--may be 
publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to 
withhold from public review your personal identifying information, we 
cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director, who 
may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of 
timely filed objections, this realty action will become the final 
determination of the Department of the Interior.
    The land will not be offered for sale prior to March 16, 2009.
