Proposed Realty Action, Park County,

Wyoming

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management’s (BLM‘s) Cody Resource

Area has examined the following

described public land and Bureau of

Reclamation-withdrawn (BOR) land in

Park County, Wyoming and have

determined the land to be suitable for

classification and lease to the city of

Cody under the provisions of the

Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as

amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.). The

Area Manager, Wyoming Area Office, of

the BOR has concurred with the

examination and determination.

Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming

T. 52 N., R. 100 W.,

Sec. 6, a strip of land 350 feet long, 40 feet

wide (0.32 acre), across a portion of lot

43 C as defined by map survey.

Sec. 8, W1⁄2SW1⁄4NW1⁄4SW1⁄4,

NW1⁄4NW1⁄4SW1⁄4SW1⁄4.

Containing 148.18 acres, more or less.

The area to be leased consists of 92.5

acres for the archery range, and 3.63

acres for an access road (total 96.13

acres). The city of Cody proposes to use

the land as an archery range, with a

separate agreement between the city of

Cody and the Cody Archery Club

allowing the club to construct, operate,

and maintain the archery range.

The area classified as suitable (148.18

acres) is greater than the area to be

leased because of the need to include

the access road in the lease. The land is

not needed for Federal purposes.

Leasing is consistent with current BLM

land use planning, and would be in the

public interest. Because of safety and

vandalism concerns, the lease area

996.13 acreas) would be closed to

general public use involving firearms,

off-road vehicles, overnight camping,

and after-dark activities. The lease,

when issued, will be subject to the

following terms, conditions and

reservations:

1. Provisions of the Recreation and Public

Purposes Act and to all applicable

regulations of the Secretary of the Interior.

2. All valid existing rights documented on

the official public land records at the time of

lease issuance.

3. All minerals shall be received to the

United States, together with the right to

prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals.

4. Any other reservations that the

authorized officer determines appropriate to

ensure public access and proper management

of Federal lands and interest therein.

An open house was held on February

24th, 1997, to inform the public,

including adjacent landowners, of the

proposal. No adverse comments were

received.

Upon publication of this notice in the

Federal Reigster, the land will be

segregated from all other forms of

appropriation under the public land

laws, including the general mining laws,

except for lease under the Recreation

and Public Purposes Act and leasing

under the mineral leasing laws.

Classification Comments: Interested

parties may submit comments involving

the suitability of the land for an archery

range. Comments on the classification

are restricted to whether the land is

physically suited for the proposal,

whether the use will maximize the

future use or uses of the land, whether

the use is consistent with local planning

and zoning, or if the use is consistent

with State and Federal programs.

Application Comments: Interested

parties may submit comments regarding

the specific use proposed in the

application and plan of development,

whether the BLM followed proper

administrative procedures in reaching

the decision, or any other factor not

directly related to the suitability of the

land for an archery range facility. Any

adverse comments will be reviewed by

the BLM State Director. In the absence

of any adverse comments, the

classification will become effective 60

days from the date of publication of this

notice in the Federal Register.

action is available for review at the
