Sixth Principal Meridian

T. 16 N., R. 118 W.,
Sec. 34, lot 2.

    The area described contains 8.86 acres, more or less, in Uinta 
County.

    In accordance with the R&PP Act, WYDOT filed an application to 
purchase the above-described 8.86 acres of public land to be developed 
as a Highway Patrol shooting range. Additional detailed information 
pertaining to this application, plan of development, and site plan is 
in case file WYW-171298, located in the BLM Kemmerer Field Office at 
the above address. The land would be conveyed without retention of a 
reversionary interest as allowed by 43 U.S.C. 869-2 and 43 CFR subpart 
2743.
    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The conveyance is 
consistent with the BLM Kemmerer Resource Management Plan dated May 
2010, 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 July 11, 2011, the land described above will be 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 laws.

    Interested parties may submit comments involving the suitability of 
the land for a Highway Patrol shooting range. Classification comments 
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.
    Interested parties may submit comments regarding the conveyance and 
specific uses 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.
    Interested parties may submit written comments to the BLM Kemmerer 
Field Manager at the address above. Comments, including names and

    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM State Director, 
who may sustain, vacate or modify this realty action. In the absence of 
any adverse comments, the classification of the land described in this 
notice will become effective on September 9, 2011. The land will not be
