following described public land in Carbon County, Wyoming, has been
examined and
[[Page 39032]]
found suitable for classification for conveyance under the provisions
of the R&PP Act, as amended, (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.):
Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming
T. 22 N., R. 87 W.,
Sec. 34, N\1/2\SE\1/4\E\1/2\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\,SE\1/4\SE\1/4\.
The land described contains 140 acres, more or less.
The above described public land was previously classified for lease
only under the R&PP Act on August 22, 1966, and has been leased to the
City of Rawlins for landfill purposes since December 15, 1966.
In accordance with the R&PP Act, the City of Rawlins filed an
application for the above-described 140 acres of public land to be
conveyed to Rawlins for continued use as the Rawlins landfill.
Additional detailed information pertaining to this application, plan of
development, and site plan is in case file WYW 0323440, located in the
BLM Rawlins Field Office at the above address.
The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The conveyance is
consistent with the Rawlins Resource Management Plan 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 22, 1966, the land described above was 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. The conveyance classification continues the
existing segregative effect.
Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments
involving the suitability of the land for a landfill. 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
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available
at any time. While you can 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. Only written comments
submitted by postal service or overnight mail to the Field Manager--BLM
Rawlins Field Office will be considered properly filed. Electronic
mail, facsimile or telephone comments will not be considered properly
filed.
Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the State Director. In the
absence of any adverse comments, the classification of the land
described in this notice will become effective September 8, 2008. The
lands will not be available for conveyance until after the
classification becomes effective.
Authority: 43 CFR part 2740.
Dated: June 18, 2008.

Field Manager, Rawlins, WY.
