The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Buffalo Field Office, proposes to lease a parcel of public land totaling 0.87 acres in Johnson County, Wyoming, for residential purposes. The subject parcel was inadvertently developed by the adjacent landowner (proposed lessee) as a residence without authorization. The area has a long history of occupancy and the proposed lease would provide the BLM with a reasonable option to resolve the continued unauthorized use of the affected public land. The BLM proposes to lease the lands for not less than the fair market value to N. Pearl Ross. The BLM Buffalo Resource Management Plan, dated September 22, 2015, does not exclude the subject parcel from the authorized officer's discretion to consider lease proposals in the subject area.

Land in Johnson County, WY

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Buffalo Field Office, 
proposes to lease a parcel of public land totaling 0.87 acres in 
Johnson County, Wyoming, for residential purposes. The subject parcel 
was inadvertently developed by the adjacent landowner (proposed lessee) 
as a residence without authorization. The area has a long history of 
occupancy and the proposed lease would provide the BLM with a 
reasonable option to resolve the continued unauthorized use of the 
affected public land. The BLM proposes to lease the lands for not less 
than the fair market value to N. Pearl Ross. The BLM Buffalo Resource 
Management Plan, dated September 22, 2015, does not exclude the subject 
parcel from the authorized officer's discretion to consider lease 
proposals in the subject area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM has determined that the parcel of 
land described below is suitable for consideration as a residential 
lease under Section 302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1732) (FLPMA) and the implementing regulations at 43 
CFR 2920.
    A parcel of land situated in lot 3, section 30, Township 44 North, 
Range 81 West, Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming, more particularly 
described as follows:
    Beginning at the center-west 1/16 section corner of said section 
30, monumented with a BLM stainless steel post marked for said corner 
point;
    Thence, S. 89[deg]32' W., along the east and west center line of 
said section 30, a distance of 57 feet to an existing fence;
    Thence, S. 12[deg]57' W., along said fence, a distance of 84.8 feet 
to a point in said fence;
    Thence, N. 23[deg]29' W., a distance of 12.4 feet to a point;

[[Page 45303]]

    Thence, S. 66[deg]31' W., a distance of 5.0 feet to a point;
    Thence, S. 23[deg]29' E., a distance of 19 feet to the said fence;
    Thence, S. 12[deg]57' W., along said fence, a distance of 221 feet 
to intersection with an existing fence;
    Thence, S. 48[deg]20' E., along said intersecting fence, a distance 
of 126 feet to a corner in said fence;
    Thence, S. 23[deg]11' W., along said fence, a distance of 38 feet 
to a corner in said fence;
    Thence, S. 37[deg]00' E., along said fence, a distance of 81 feet 
to the north and south center line of the SW1/4 of said section 30;
    Thence, North, along said north and south center line, a distance 
of 489 feet to the Point of Beginning; containing approximately 0.87 
acres of land.
    Basis of Bearing: True Meridian, determined from GPS/GNSS survey.
    Based on past use of the subject parcel for a residence owned by 
William D. and Bonnie S. Ross, and currently occupied by N. Pearl Ross, 
it is the authorized officer's decision to offer the proposed 
residential lease with appropriate terms and conditions to N. Pearl 
Ross on a non-competitive basis because competitive bidding would 
represent an unfair competitive and economic disadvantage to Ms. Ross. 
As noted above, the use of this parcel constitutes an inadvertent 
trespass that was discovered by the BLM in 2013. The Ross family has 
since worked with the BLM to settle the trespass and the proposed 
lessee will apply for a residential lease.
    Subsequent to the BLM's receipt of an application for leasing by N. 
Pearl Ross that complies with all applicable requirements set forth at 
43 CFR 2920.5, processing of the proposed lease will take place in 
accordance with 43 CFR 2920.6, and other applicable regulations. 
Information and documentation regarding processing of the lease 
application is available as described in ADDRESSES, above, and 
reference should be made to the National Environmental Policy Act 
(NEPA) analysis, to be conducted under Environmental Assessment DOI-
BLM-WY-P070-2016-0033-EA. The BLM will not make a final decision on the 
lease until all required analyses are completed. If authorized, the 
lease would be subject to provisions of the FLPMA, all applicable 
regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, including, but not 
limited to, 43 CFR part 2920, and to valid existing rights.
    Public comments regarding the proposed lease may be submitted in 
writing--see ADDRESSES above--on or before November 13, 2017.
    Comments received in electronic form, such as email or fax, will be 
considered. Any adverse comments regarding the proposed lease will be 
reviewed by the BLM Wyoming State Director or another authorized 
official of the Department of the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or 
modify this realty action in whole or in part. In the absence of timely 
filed objections, this realty action will become the final 
determination of the Department of the Interior.
    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.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2920.4.

Buddy W. Green,
BLM Wyoming Acting Associate State Director.
