[[Page 63523]]

of public lands (the parcel) in Fremont County, Wyoming, to the Town of 
Bairoil pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 
(FLPMA), as amended, to allow for community expansion and resolve an 
unauthorized use of public lands. The sale will be subject to the 
applicable provisions of section 203 of FLPMA and BLM regulations. The 
appraised fair market value for the sale parcel is $7,500.00.

DATES: Submit written comments regarding this direct sale, including 
notification of any encumbrances or other claims relating to the 
identified lands until December 5, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments concerning this notice should be sent 
to the Field Manager, BLM Lander Field Office, 1335 Main Street,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leta Rinker, Realty Specialist, at the 
above address or telephone (307) 332-8405, or you may contact the BLM 
Lander Field Office at the earlier-listed address.
    Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of 
hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or 
TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals 
outside the United States should use the relay services offered within 
their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in 
the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following-described public lands are 
located 1.25 miles northwest of the town of Bairoil, in Fremont County, 
Wyoming. The parcel has been examined and found suitable for sale under 
the authority of Section 203 of FLPMA, as amended. The parcel is more 
specifically identified as:

Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming

T. 27 N., R. 90 W.,
    Sec. 34, Parcel A.

    The area described contains 24.79 acres, according to the official 
plat of the survey of the parcel on file with the BLM.
    The sale is in conformance with the BLM Lander Resource Management 
Plan, approved on June 26, 2014, which identifies this parcel of public 
land as suitable for disposal on page 311, parcel number 175. The 
parcel is not needed for any other federal purpose. Sale of the parcel 
is not prohibited by Secretarial Order 3373 because it does not provide 
access for outdoor recreation. The regulations at 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a) 
permit the BLM to make direct sales of public lands when a competitive 
sale is not appropriate, and the public interest would be best served 
by a direct sale. In conformance with the National Environmental Policy 
Act, the BLM prepared a site-specific environmental assessment (EA) 
(DOI-BLM WY-R050-2019-0031 EA) that analyzed the sale of this parcel. 
The BLM issued a finding of no significant impact and decision record 
on September 23, 2021.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the above-
described lands will be segregated from all forms of appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the mining laws, except the sale 
provisions of FLPMA. Until completion of the sale action, the BLM is 
not accepting land use applications affecting the identified public 
land, except applications for the amendment of previously filed rights-
of-way applications or existing authorizations to increase the term of 
the grants in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 and 2886.15. This 
temporary segregation will terminate upon the issuance of a patent, 
publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the 
segregation, or on October 21, 2024, unless extended by the BLM Wyoming 
State Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the 
termination date.
    In addition to this Notice of Realty Action, notice of this sale 
will also be published once a week for three weeks in the Rawlins Daily 
Times newspaper. The public land would not be offered for sale to the 
Town of Bairoil prior to 60 days from the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.
    The conveyance document, if issued, will be subject to all valid 
existing rights documented at the time of patent issuance, including 
the following terms, conditions, and reservations:
    1. A rights-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);
    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 EA, appraisal, maps, and Environmental Site Assessment are 
available for review (see the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section 
above).
    Only written comments submitted by postal service or overnight mail 
to the address in the ADDRESSES section above will be considered as 
properly filed. Electronic mail, facsimile or telephone comments will 
not be considered. Before including your address, phone number, email 
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. Comments, including names and street addresses 
of respondents, will be available for public review at the BLM Lander 
Field Office during regular business hours, except holidays.
    Any adverse comments regarding the sale will be reviewed by the BLM 
Wyoming State Director, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty 
action in response to such comments. In the absence of any comments, 
this realty action will become the final determination of the 
Department of the Interior.
