The following described public land in Sublette County, Wyoming, is being considered for direct sale under the authority of Section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, (90 Stat. 2750, 43 U.S.C. 1713) and implementing regulations contained in 43 CFR 2711.3-3(5).

Sixth Principal Meridian

T. 27 N., R. 103 W.,

Sec. 4: lot 6.

The area described contains 29.42 acres more or less.

The proposed sale is in conformance with and consistent with the objectives, goals and decisions of the BLM Green River Resource Management Plan, dated August 8, 1997, and the land is not required for other Federal purposes. Conveyance of the identified public land will be subject to valid existing rights and encumbrances of record. Minerals will be reserved to the United States in the conveyance.

On November 3, 2008, 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, BLM will not 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 segregative effect will terminate upon issuance of a patent, publication in the Federal Register of a termination of the segregation, or November 3, 2010, unless extended by the BLM State Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination date.

Any determination by the BLM to release or withhold the names and/or addresses of those who comment will be made on a case-by-case basis. Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by law. The BLM will make available for public review, in their entirety, all comments submitted by businesses or organizations, including comments by individuals in their capacity as an official or representative of a business or organization. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action. In the absence of timely filed objections, this realty action will become the final determination of the Department of the Interior.

The land will not be offered for sale prior to December 18, 2008.
