SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The R&PP Act allows the BLM to convey public lands to local governments for development of other public purposes if the identified lands are not needed for any Federal purpose and the conveyance is consistent with approved BLM land use plans. The subject parcel is located near the Town of Pinedale in Sublette County, Wyoming and is legally described as:

Sixth Meridian, Wyoming

T. 33 N., R. 109 W.,

Sec. 9, lot 4.

The area described contains 34.87 acres, according to the official plats of survey of said land, on file with the BLM.

All interested parties will receive a copy of this notice once it is published in the Federal Register . A copy of this notice will also be published in the newspaper of local circulation once a week for 3 consecutive weeks.

Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register , the land described above will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining ( printed page 23111) laws, except for conveyance under the R&PP Act, leasing under the mineral leasing laws, geothermal leasing laws, and disposals under the mineral material disposal laws.

The conveyance documents, if issued, would be subject to the provisions of the R&PP Act, to all applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior and the following conditions:

(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);

(4) An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United States from claims arising out of the patentee's use, occupancy, or operations on the patented lands; and

(5) Subject to valid existing rights.

Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the specific use proposed in the applications, plan of development (POD), site plans, and whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching the suitability for classification to convey under the R&PP Act. Comments may also address the suitability for classification of the lands and 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.

The proposed R&PP subsequent conveyance is consistent with the BLM Pinedale Resource Management Plan, dated November 26, 2008. The BLM prepared a parcel-specific Environmental Assessment (EA), document number DOI-BLM-WY-D010-2025-0090-EA, in connection with this realty action.
