Notice of Realty Action: Non-Competitive (Direct) Sale of Public 
Land in Hot Springs County, WY

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.

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

SUMMARY: A 10-acre parcel of public land in Hot Springs County, Wyoming 
is being considered for non-competitive (direct) sale to Jim and Terry 
Wilson under the provisions of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act (FLPMA) of 1976, at no less than the appraised market value.

DATES: Interested parties may submit comments regarding the proposed 
sale of the land until May 9, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to the Field Manager, 
Bureau of Land Management, Worland Field Office, 101 South 23rd Street, 
Worland, Wyoming 82401, or e-mailed to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karla Bird, Field Manager, Bureau of 
Land Management (BLM), Worland Field Office, 101 South 23rd Street, 
Worland, Wyoming 82401; (307) 347-5100; or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land in Hot 
Springs County, Wyoming has been examined and found suitable for sale 
under the authority of Section 203 of the FLPMA, (43 U.S.C. 1701, 
1713):

Sixth Principal Meridian

T. 43 N., R. 92 W.,
    Sec. 22, tract 51-R.

    The land described contains 10 acres, more or less, in Hot 
Springs County.

    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The conveyance is 
consistent with the BLM Washakie Resource Management Plan dated 
September 1988, and would be in the public interest. On the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the above described 
land will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the 
public land laws, including the mining laws, except the sale provisions 
of the FLPMA. The segregative effect will terminate upon issuance of a 
patent, publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the 
segregation, or 2 years from the date of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register, whichever comes first.
    The public land will not be offered for sale until 60 days from the 
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, at the 
appraised market value of $3,600. A copy of the approved appraisal is 
available at the above address. The patent, if issued, will be subject 
to the following terms, conditions and reservations:
    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.
    This land is being offered by direct sale to Jim and Terry Wilson 
pursuant to 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a)(5). Direct sale procedures are 
appropriate since the land has been inadvertently occupied and utilized 
for many years as a portion of a working ranch headquarters. The land 
is encumbered with facilities constructed in trespass prior to the 
Wilsons purchasing the adjoining ranch property. The facilities include 
two employee residences, a livestock scale house, airplane hanger, 
water storage tank, pipeline and a portion of a corral which are deemed 
necessary for the continued ranching operation. Removal of the 
structures would pose an unreasonable economic penalty on the Wilsons 
and would not serve any public interest. Adjoining public land uses 
will not be impacted by the sale.
    Interested parties may submit written comments to the BLM Worland 
Field Manager at the address above. Comments, including names and 
street addresses of respondents, will be available for public review at 
the BLM Worland Field Office during regular business hours. 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 may 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.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM Wyoming State 
Director who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action and 
issue a final determination. In the absence of any objections, this 
realty action will become the final determination of the Department of 
the Interior.

(Authority: 43 CFR 2711)

Donald A. Simpson,
Wyoming State Director.
