The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Buffalo Field Office is requesting input on a proposed non-competitive (direct) sale of public land in Campbell County, Wyo, under the authority of Section 203 FLPMA, (90 Stat. 2750, 43 U.S.C. 1713). The BLM published a notice of realty action in the Federal Register on Feb. 4, 2013, which opens a 45-day public comment period.
The BLM is considering a direct sale of 4.15 acres of public land in Campbell County, Wyo., at no less than the appraised fair market value to the Craig G. and Peggy S. Means Revocable Trust. The proposed sale is to resolve a trespass. The proposal is in conformance with the BLM Buffalo Resource Management Plan (RMP) approved on October 4, 1985. The parcel is identified for disposal in the RMP Record of Decision.
An environmental assessment (EA) is being prepared to analyze the proposed land sale. Mail or deliver written comments to: Field Manager, Buffalo Field Office, 1425 Fort Street, Buffalo, WY 82834. Comments may also be e-mailed to buffalo_wymail@blm.gov with “Campbell County Land Sale” in the subject line. Comments will be accepted until March 21, 2013.

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
