PINEDALE, WYOMING— The Bureau of Land Management Pinedale Field Office is seeking public comment on a proposal to convey 34.87 acres of public land to expand a cemetery in Sublette County, Wyoming through the Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act.
The act allows the BLM to sell or lease public lands to state and local governments or qualified non-profit organizations for public purposes. The Pinedale Field Office has determined the parcel is suitable for conveyance under the R&PP Act. The Upper Green River Cemetery District (UGRCD) Wind River Cemetery filed the application to develop the land as a cemetery to help meet existing and future needs for the county over the next five years.
A notice will publish in tomorrow’s Federal Register to open the 45-day comment period, which will close June 15, 2026. The full notice will be available on the National Federal
Register.
Written comments on the NORA may be submitted by email to BLM_WY_HDD_projectcomments@blm.gov with "UGRCD Wind River Cemetery" in the subject line or comments can be mailed to the BLM Pinedale Field Office, Attn: UGRCD Wind River Cemetery, PO Box 768, Pinedale WY 82941.
