-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is considering eight
parcels of public land totaling 208.12 acres in Sheridan County,
Wyoming, for direct sale under the provisions of the Federal Land
Policy Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), at no less than the appraised
fair market value.
DATES: In order to ensure consideration in the environmental analysis
of the proposed sale, comments must be received by March 21, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Address all comments concerning this notice to Field
Manager, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Buffalo Field Office, 1425
Fort Street, Buffalo, WY 82834. Comments may also be emailed to
[email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Claire Oliverius, Realty Specialist,
BLM, Buffalo Field Office at the above address or phone 307-684-1178.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following-described public land in
Sheridan County, Wyoming, is being considered for direct sale under the
authority of Section 203 FLPMA, (90 Stat. 2750, 43 U.S.C. 1713):
Sixth Principal Meridian
T. 56 N., R. 79 W.,
Tract 51 B;
Sec. 17, lot 1;
Sec. 23, lot 1;
Sec. 26, lots 1 and 2.
T. 55 N., R. 80 W.,
Sec. 23, NE1/4SE1/4;
Sec. 24, SW1/4SW1/4;
Sec. 26, NE1/4SW1/4.
The areas described aggregate 208.12 acres in Sheridan County,
Wyoming.
The 1985 BLM Buffalo Resource Management Plan identifies these
parcels of public land as suitable for disposal. 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.
Farmland Reserve, Inc., has submitted a formal proposal for the
acquisition of 208.12 acres of public land in Sheridan County. A direct
sale was initiated to purchase only lands solely within the boundaries
of a ranch where there is no legal access or adjacent landowners. The
parcels are difficult for the BLM to manage. The lands would continue
to be used for ranching operations. The proposed sale of the identified
public land is in the initial stages of processing.
On February 4, 2013, the above-described land will be segregated
from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining
laws, except the sale provisions of the FLPMA. Until completion of the
sale, the BLM is no longer accepting 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 segregative effect will terminate upon issuance of a
patent, publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the
segregation, or February 4, 2015, unless extended by the BLM State
Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination
date.
Public Comments
For a period until March 21, 2013, interested parties and the
general public may submit in writing any comments concerning the land
being considered for sale, including notification of any encumbrances
or other claims relating to the identified land, to Field Manager, BLM
Buffalo Field Office, at the above address. In order to ensure
consideration in the environmental analysis of the proposed sale,
comments must be in writing and postmarked or delivered within 45 days
of the initial date of publication of this Notice. Comments transmitted
via email will not be accepted. Comments, including names and street
addresses of respondents, will be available for public review at the
BLM Buffalo Field Office during regular business hours, except
holidays. Before including your address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying information in your comment, be advised
that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you may
ask us in your comment to withhold from public review your personal
identifying information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do
so.
Authority: 43 CFR 2711.
Donald A. Simpson,
State Director, Wyoming.
