    The lands described are hereby segregated from appropriation under 
the public land laws, including the mining laws, but not from sale, 
pending disposition of this action or 270 days from the date of 
publication of this Notice, whichever occurs first.
    The lands will be offered for sale at public auction beginning at 
10 A.M., MDT, on Thursday, September 22, 1994, at 2933 Third Avenue 
West, Dickinson, North Dakota 58601. The sale will be by modified 
competitive procedures. Tract lessees or adjoining land owners must 
submit a bid the day of sale to retain preference rights. The sale will 
be by sealed bid only.
    All sealed bids must be submitted to the BLM's Dakotas District 
Office at 2933 Third Avenue West, Dickinson, North Dakota 58601, no 
later than 4:30 P.M., MDT, on Wednesday, September 21, 1994. Bid 
envelopes must be marked on the left front corner with the parcel 
number and the sale date. Bids must be for not less than the appraised 
Minimum Bid Price specified in this Notice. Each sealed bid shall be 
accompanied by a certified check, postal money order, or cashier's 
check made payable to the United States Department of the Interior, 
BLM, for not less than 10 percent or more than 30 percent of the amount 
of the bid. Applicants should submit a Statement of Eligibility form 
with the bid.
    Bids on unsold parcels will be opened each Wednesday after the date 
of the sale at 10:00 a.m., MDT, until the parcels are sold. The terms 
and conditions applicable to the sale are:
    1. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together 
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the minerals. A more 
detailed description of this reservation, which will be incorporated in 
the patent document, is available for review at this office.
    2. A right-of-way is reserved for ditches and canals constructed by 
the authority of the United States under the authority of the Act of 
August 30, 1890, (26 Stat. 291; 43 U.S.C. 945).
    3. The patents will be subject to all valid existing rights 
including rights-of-way.
    Federal law requires that all bidders must be U.S. citizens 18 
years old or older, or in the case of corporations, be subject to the 
laws of any State of the U.S. Proof of these requirements must 
accompany the bid.
    Under modified competitive sale procedures, an apparent high bid 
will be declared at the public auction. The apparent high bidder, 
lessees and adjoining land owners will be notified. Lessees and 
adjoining land owners will have five (5) working days from the date of 
the sale to exercise the preference consideration given to meet the 
high bid. Refusal or failure to meet the highest bid shall constitute a 
waiver of such bidding provisions. Once the qualified high bidder is 
determined, the balance of the purchase price shall be paid within 180 
days of the date of the sale. Failure to submit the full bid price 
prior to, but not including the 180th day following the day of sale, 
shall result in cancellation of the sale of the specific parcel and the 
deposit shall be forfeited and disposed of as other receipts of sale.
    Detailed information concerning the sale, including the 
reservations, procedures for conditions of sale, and planning and 
environmental documents, is available at the Dakotas District Office, 
Bureau of Land Management, 2933 Third Avenue West, Dickinson, North 
Dakota 58601.
