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

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to sell a 
1.06-acre parcel of public land in Teton County, Wyoming, to TSR 
Limited under the provisions of Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy 
and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (FLPMA), as amended, for not 
less than the appraised fair market value of $75,000. This parcel is in 
an inaccessible location that is difficult and uneconomical for the BLM 
to manage as it is surrounded by private lands, most of which belongs 
to TSR Limited, and is not suitable for management by another Federal 
agency.

DATES: Comments regarding the proposed sale of the land is accepted 
until October 6, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Comments concerning this realty action may be submitted by 
any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the provisions of 43 CFR 
Part 2710, the proposed sale is suitable for direct sale under the 
authority of Section 203 of the FLPMA, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1713):

Sixth Principal Meridian, Teton County, Wyoming

T. 41 N., R. 117 W.,
    Tract 46B.

    The area described contains 1.06 acres.
    The proposed direct sale is consistent with the objectives, goals, 
and decision of the 2004 Snake River Resource Management Plan (RMP). 
The parcel is identified for disposal in the 2013 RMP Record of 
Decision Amendment. Lands owned by TSR Limited surround the 30 feet 
wide, isolated parcel on three sides and it is otherwise in an 
inaccessible location. Given its location, the BLM has determined that 
this parcel is difficult and uneconomical to manage and is not suitable 
for management by another Federal agency. In accordance with 43 CFR 
2710.0-6(c)(3)(iii) and 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a)(4), direct sale procedures 
are appropriate for this parcel given the adjoining ownership pattern. 
TSR Limited 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 March 20, 2013, the BLM published a Notice of Realty Action 
(NORA) in the Federal Register (78 FR 17227) to segregate the parcel 
from appropriation under the public land and mining laws. The 
segregative effect of that notice shall terminate upon issuance of a 
patent, upon publication in the Federal Register of a termination of 
the segregation, or on March 20, 2014, whichever comes first. In 
addition to this NORA, notice of this sale will be published once a 
week for 3 weeks in the Jackson Hole News and Guide.
    Conveyance of the identified public land will be subject to valid 
existing rights and encumbrances of record, including but not limited 
to, rights-of-way for roads and public utilities. All minerals will be 
reserved to the United States. Upon publication of this NORA and until 
completion of the sale, the BLM will no longer accept land use 
applications affecting the identified public land, except applications 
for the amendment of previously-filed right-of-way applications or 
existing authorizations to increase the term of the grants in 
accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 and 2886.15.
    The public land will not be offered for sale prior to October 20, 
2014.
    The patent, if issued, will be subject to the following terms, 
conditions, and reservations:
    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, 1890 
(43 U.S.C. 945); and
    3. All valid existing rights of record, including those documented 
on the official public land records at the time of patent issuance.
