FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Becky D. Heick, Realty Specialist, 
Kemmerer Resource Area, Rock Springs District, Bureau of Land 
Management, 312 Highway 189 North, Kemmerer, Wyoming 83101, 307-877-
3933, extension 106.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Land Management proposes to 
sell the surface estate to General Chemical Corporation pursuant to 
Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 
U.S.C. 1713. General Chemical Corporation wishes to acquire the area 
for a landfill in conjunction with their sodium lease. The proposed 
direct sale to General Chemical Corporation would be made at fair 
market value.
    The proposed direct sale, located within General Chemical 
Corporation's sodium lease boundary (WYW-095425), is consistent with 
the Kemmerer Resource Area Management Plan and would serve important 
public objectives which cannot be achieved prudently or feasibly 
elsewhere. The planning document and environmental assessment are 
available for review at the Bureau of Land Management, Kemmerer 
Resource Area Office, Kemmerer, Wyoming. Conveyance of the above public 
lands will be subject to:
    1. Reservation of a right-of-way to the United States for ditches 
and canals pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890, 43 U.S.C. 945.
    2. Reservation of all minerals pursuant to section 209(a) of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1719.
    There will be no cancellation of existing federal grazing rights. 
Those AUMs associated with the above referenced parcel will be absorbed 
by the operators in the balance of the Granger Lease allotment.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the above 
described land will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under 
the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for 
leasing under the mineral leasing laws. The segregative effect will end 
upon issuance of the patent or 270 days from the date of the 
publication whichever comes first. For a period of forty-five (45) days 
from the date of issuance of this notice, interested parties may submit 
comments to the Bureau of Land Management, District Manager, Rock 
Springs District office, 280 Highway 191 North, Rock Springs, WY 82901. 
Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director, who may 
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of any 
objections, this proposed realty action will become final.

    Dated: July 3, 1997.
Mark Hatchel,
Acting Area Manager.
