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:
Mail: BLM, Field Manager, Pinedale Field Office, P.O. Box
768, 1625 West Pine Street, Pinedale, WY 82941.

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.

Detailed information concerning the proposed land sale, including
sale procedures, appraisal, planning and environmental documents, and a
mineral report is available for review at the location identified in
ADDRESSES above. Comments regarding the proposed sale will be accepted

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 may

Any comments regarding the proposed sale will be reviewed by the
BLM Wyoming State Director or authorized official of the Department of
the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action in
response to such comments. In the absence of timely filed objections,
this realty action will become the final determination of the
Department of the Interior.
