SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land in 
Washakie County, Wyoming, is proposed for direct sale under the 
authority of Section 203 of the FLPMA, (43 U.S.C. 1713):

Sixth Principal Meridian

T. 47 N., R. 88 W.,
    sec. 21, lot 10.
    The area described contains 22.98 acres, in Washakie County.
    The 1988 BLM Washakie Resource Management Plan identified this 
parcel 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. All minerals will be reserved to the United 
States. On April 26, 2012, the above-described land will be segregated 
from all forms of 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 April 28, 2014, 
whichever comes first unless extended by the BLM Wyoming State Director 
in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d), prior to the termination date.
    The public land will not be sold until at least June 25, 2012, at 
the appraised market value of $55,000. The patent, if issued, will be 
subject to the following terms, conditions and reservations:
    1. A reservation if a right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals 
constructed by the United States under the authority of the Act of 
August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
    2. All minerals, together with the right to prospect for, mine, and 
remove such deposits from the same under applicable law and such 
regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe shall be 
reserved to the United States.
    3. A reservation of a right-of-way for a Federal-aid Highway (Ten 
Sleep-Big Trails Road) as to lot 10, sec. 21, T. 47 N., R. 88 W., 6th 
P.M., Wyoming, under the Act of August 27, 1958, as amended, 23 U. S. 
C. 317, of record in the BLM, Worland Field Office, under Serial No. 
WYW-79595.
    4. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United 
States from claims arising out of the lessee/patentee's use, occupancy, 
or operations on the leased/patented lands.
    5. The patent will be subject to all valid existing rights 
documented on the official public land records at the time of patent 
issuance.
    This land is being offered by direct sale to the Town of Ten Sleep 
pursuant to 43 CFR 2711.3-3. A competitive sale is not appropriate and 
the public interest would be best served by a direct sale because the 
tract has been identified for transfer to a local government for a 
project of public importance. Adjoining public land uses will not be 
impacted by the sale.
    Interested parties may submit written comments to the BLM Worland 
Field Manager at the address above. Comments, including names and 
street addresses of respondents, will be available for public review at 
the BLM Worland Field Office during regular business hours. 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 ask us in your 
comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public 
review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Any adverse 
comments will be reviewed by the BLM Wyoming State Director who may 
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action and issue a final 
determination. In the absence of any objections, this realty action 
will become the final determination of the Department of the Interior.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2711.1-2.

Donald A. Simpson,
Wyoming State Director.
