Sale of Public Land in Bernalillo County, NM

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announces that the 
following described parcels of public land have been examined and 
identified as suitable for disposal by sale under section 203 of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (90 Stat. 2750; 
43 U.S.C. 1713) at no less than the appraised fair market value shown. 
The parcels are isolated, difficult and uneconomical to manage as part 
of the public land, and are suitable for management by another Federal 
department or agency. The sale is consistent with the BLM's planning 
efforts, and the public interest will be served by offering this land 
for sale.

Sale Method

    Parcels 1 and 7 will be offered for sale using competitive bidding 
procedures (43 CFR 2711.3.-1). On parcel 3, the bidding will be 
modified to allow bids from designated bidders only (43 CFR 2711.3-2). 
Parcels 2, 4, 5, and 6 will be offered to the listed parties through 
Direct sale procedures not less than 60 days from publication of this 
notice (43 CFR 2711.3-3).

Sales Procedures

    The sale of parcels 1 and 7 will be by competitive sealed bids 
followed by oral bidding. However, on parcel 3 competitive bids will 
only be accepted from the designated bidders named below.

Modified Competitive Sale Designated Bidders:

Parcel No. 3
1. Gary L. McAllister and Linda M. McAllister
    2. Gregorio Davis and Dora R. Davis

    Sealed bids will be considered only if received in the Rio Puerco 
Resource Area Office, 435 Montano Rd., NE., Albuquerque, New Mexico 
87107, before 10 a.m. on November 15, 1994, the day of the sale. Oral 
bids will be accepted commencing at 10:30 a.m., following the opening 
of all sealed bids, at the same place on the same sale date. Sealed 
bids of less than the appraised fair market value will be rejected. The 
apparent highest qualified sealed bid will be publicly declared by the 
Authorized Officer. The apparent highest qualified sealed bid will then 
become the starting point for the oral bidding. If no apparent 
qualified sealed are received, the oral bidding will start at the 
appraised fair market value. In the absence of oral bids, the apparent 
highest qualified sealed bid will establish the sale price for that 
parcel. In the event that two or more sealed bids are received 
containing valid bids of the same amount for the same parcel, and no 
higher oral bid is received for that parcel, the determination of which 
is to be considered the highest designated bid will be by supplemental 
bidding. In such a case, the high bidders will be allowed to submit 
oral or sealed bids as designated by the Authorized Officer. After oral 
bids, if any, are received, the highest qualifying bid, whether sealed 
or oral, shall be declared by the Authorized Officer.
    Bidders must be 18 years of age or over and United States citizens, 
and corporations must be subject to the laws of any State or of the 
United States. Apparent high bidders must submit proof of these 
requirements within 15 days after the sale date.
    Bids must be made by the principal or his duly qualified agent. 
Each sealed bid must be written or typed and accompanied by postal 
money order, bank draft, or cashier's check made payable to the 
Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, for not less 
than 10 percent or more than 30 percent of the amount of the bid. The 
sealed bid envelope containing the bid and the required amount must be 
marked in the lower left-hand corner as follows:

Public Sale Bid Parcel No.---------------------------------------------
Serial No.-------------------------------------------------------------
Sale Held--------------------------------------------------------------
        (Date)

    Each successful oral bidder will be required to pay not less than 
20 percent of the amount of the bid immediately following the close of 
the sale. Payment must be by cash, personal check, bank draft, money 
order, or any combination of these. Successful bidders, whether such 
bid is oral or sealed, will be required to pay the remainder of the 
full bid price prior to the expiration of 180 days from the date of the 
sale. Failure to submit the full bid price within the above specified 
time limit will result in cancellation of the sale of the specific 
parcel and the deposit will be forfeited and disposed of as other 
receipts of sale.
    All sealed bids will be either returned, accepted, or rejected 
within 30 days of the sale date. Competitive and Modified Sale Parcels 
not sold on the day of the sale, will be reoffered for sale every first 
Tuesday of each month, same time and place, by the same procedures 
described above until sold or until February 10, 1995 at close of 
business.
    On parcels 2, 4, 5, and 6, should any of the listed parties decline 
to purchase an offered parcel within the time allotted, the unsold 
parcel will then be reoffered by open competitive bidding procedures 
described above every first Tuesday of each month, same time and place, 
until sold or until February 10, 1995 at close of business.
    In the event that the Authorized Officers rejects the highest 
qualified bid for any of the above parcels, or releases the Bidder from 
it, the Authorized Officer shall determine whether the public land 
shall be withdrawn from the market or reoffered.
