-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to sell a 29.42-
acre parcel of public land in Sublette County, Wyoming, for the
appraised fair market value to Magagna Bros Inc., to resolve an
unintentional unauthorized use of public lands.
DATES: Comments regarding the proposed sale must be received by the BLM
at the address below not later than March 2, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Send all written comments concerning this proposed sale to
the Field Manager, BLM-Rock Springs Field Office, 280 Highway 191

form, such as e-mail or facsimile, will not be considered.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Teri Deakins, Environmental Protection
Specialist, at the above address or at 307-352-0211.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the provisions of 43 CFR
Part 2710, the following described public land is proposed to be sold
pursuant to the authority provided in Section 203 of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as amended (43 U.S.C. 1713):
Sixth Principal Meridian, Sublette County, Wyoming
T. 27 N., R. 103 W.,
sec. 4, lot 6.
The area described contains 29.42 acres more or less.
The appraised market value for this parcel is $4,000. The proposed
sale is consistent with the objectives, goals and decision of the BLM
Green River Resource Management Plan, dated August 8, 1997, and the
land is not required for other Federal purposes. The direct sale of
this land to Magagna Bros Inc. will resolve an unintentional,
unauthorized occupancy of public land managed by the BLM including
residences and agricultural buildings. In accordance with 43 CFR
2710.0-6(c)(3)(iii) and 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a), direct sale procedures are
appropriate to resolve an inadvertent unauthorized occupancy of the
land or to protect existing equities in the land. The sale, when
completed, would protect the improvements involved and resolve the
inadvertent encroachment. The parcel is the minimum size possible to
ensure that all the improvements are included. Magagna Bros Inc. will
be allowed 30 days from the receipt of a written offer to submit a
deposit of at least 20 percent of the appraised value of the parcel,
and 180 days thereafter to submit the balance.
On November 3, 2008 the above described land was segregated from
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws.
The segregative effect of this notice shall terminate upon issuance of
a patent, upon publication in the Federal Register of a termination of
the segregation, or 2 years from date of segregation, whichever comes
first.
The following reservations, rights, and conditions will be included
in the patent that may be issued for the above parcel of Federal land:
1. A reservation of all minerals to the United States;
2. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the
authority of the United States pursuant to the Act of August 30, 890
(43 U.S.C. 945);
3. All valid existing rights of record, including those documented
on the official public land records at the time of patent issuance.
Detailed information concerning the proposed land sale, including sale
procedures, appraisal, planning and environmental documents, and a
mineral report is available for review at the BLM, Rock Springs Field
Office at the above address. Normal business hours are 7:45 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register, the general public and interested parties may
submit written comments to the BLM Field Manager at the above address.
Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your comment, be advised that your
entire comment--including your personal identifying information--may be
publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to
withhold from public review your personal identifying information, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
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 March 16, 2009.
