T. 34 N., R. 118 W.,
    Sec. 6, SE\1/4\NE\1/4\.

    The land described contains 40.00 acres, more or less.

    In accordance with the R&PP Act, the Town of Star Valley Ranch 
filed an application for the above-described 40.00 acres of public land 
to be developed for municipal facilities and recreational activities. 
The municipal facilities include town offices and a maintenance 
building, equipment storage shed building, and parking areas. The 
recreation facilities include walking/bicycle pathways, sheltered 
picnic tables, health and fitness stations, and flora and fauna viewing 
areas. Additional detailed information pertaining to this application, 
plan of development, and site plan is in case file WYW-171184, located 
in the BLM Kemmerer Field Office at the above address.
    The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The lease and 
conveyance is consistent with the Kemmerer Resource Management Plan 
dated April 29, 1986, and would be in the public interest. The patent, 
when issued, will be subject to the provisions of the R&PP Act and 
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, and will 
contain the following reservations to the United States:
    1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945); 
and
    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.
    The patent will be subject to all valid existing rights documented 
on the official public land records at the time of patent issuance.
    On August 18, 2008, the land described above will be segregated 
from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the general mining laws, except for conveyance under the R&PP 
Act, leasing under the mineral leasing laws, and disposals under the 
mineral material disposal laws.
    Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments 
involving the suitability of the land for municipal and recreation 
uses. 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 to convey under the R&PP Act, or any other 
factor not directly related to the suitability of the land for R&PP 
use.
    Confidentiality of Comments: Before including your address, phone 
number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including

filed.
    Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the
