    The above described land parcels are hereby segregated from 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, 
but not from sale under the above cited statute for 270 days from the 
date of publication or until title transfers are completed or the 
segregation is terminated by publication in the Federal Register, 
whichever occurs first. This land will be offered for sale in 
accordance with a congressionally directed plan to restore and maintain 
the public/private ownership ratio in Lake County. The land is not 
suitable for management by another Federal agency. No significant 
resource values will be affected by this disposal. The sale is 
consistent with Bureau planning for the land involved and will serve 
important public objectives.
    Sale parcel OR 51852 will be offered under direct sale procedures 
to Ray and Edna Wagner of Fort Rock, Oregon. Direct sale procedures are 
considered appropriate, in this case, to resolve a fence line location 
dispute and to avoid the future unauthorized use of the involved public 
land. Sale parcels OR 36285, OR 49389, OR 51851 and OR 51853 will be 
offered using competitive sale procedures. Both sale procedures are 
authorized under 43 CFR 2711.3-3. The land will be offered for sale at 
public auction beginning at 10:00 am PST, on February 21, 1996, and 
will be by sealed bid only. All sealed bids must be submitted to the 
BLM, Lakeview District Office at P.O. Box 151, 1000 South Ninth Street, 
Lakeview, Oregon 97630, no later than 4:30 pm PST, February 20, 1996. A 
separate written bid must be submitted for each parcel desired and bids 
must be for not less than the appraised sale price indicated. Each 
written sealed bid must be accompanied by a certified check, postal 
money order, bank draft or cashier's check, made payable to the 
Department of the Interior-BLM for not less than the bid deposit 
specified in this notice. All bids shall be enclosed in a sealed 
envelope clearly marked, in the lower left hand corner,

Bid for Public Land Sale OR (number),
Lake County, Oregon, February 21, 1996.
    The total purchase price for the land shall be paid within 180 days 
of the date of sale or the bid deposit will be forfeited and the 
parcel(s) will be reoffered to the public with the exception of sale 
parcel OR 51852 which will not be reoffered.
    The terms, conditions and reservations applicable to the sales are 
as follows:
    (1) Patents to all sale parcels will contain a reservation to the 
United States for ditches and canals.
    (2) The sale parcels will be subject to all valid existing rights 
of record at the time of patent issuance.
    (3) The mineral interests being offered for conveyance with sale 
parcels OR 49389, OR 51851 and OR 51853 have no known value. A deposit 
or bid to purchase these parcel(s) will also constitute an application 
for conveyance of the mineral estate with the following reservations;
    (a) The oil and gas and geothermal resources will be reserved to 
the United States for sale parcels, OR 49389, OR 51851 and OR 51853, 
except the SW\1/4\ of Section 28 of Parcel OR 49389 where the minerals 
are privately owned.
    (b) All minerals relative to sale parcels OR 36285 and OR 51852 
will be reserved to the United States.

    The above mineral reservations are being made in accordance with 
Section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. 

[[Page 57454]]

    All qualified bidder(s) must include with their bid deposit, for 
each parcel, a non-refundable $50.00 filing fee for conveyance of the 
mineral estate.
    Federal law requires that all bidders must be U.S. citizens, 18 
years of age or older, a state or state instrumentality authorized to 
hold property, or a corporation authorized to own real estate in the 
state in which the land is located. Under competitive sale procedures, 
an apparent high bid will be declared at public auction. In the event 
of a tie, the tied bidders will be notified and given the opportunity 
to modify their original bids. The apparent high bidder will then be 
notified.
    If the land identified in this notice, except parcel OR 51852, are 
not sold on the date of first sale offering, the unsold parcels will be 
available on an over-the-counter competitive sale basis. All over-the-
counter sale parcels will be sold subject to the above terms and 
conditions and at no less than the indicated sale price. Sealed bids 
will be accepted on the unsold parcels at the Lakeview District Office 
during regular business hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PST Monday 
through Friday) at the address shown below. All sealed bids received 
will be opened the first Wednesday of each subsequent month until the 
land is either sold or withdrawn from sale. Prospective buyers should 
inquire about unsold parcels after February 21, 1996.
    Detailed information concerning the sale, including the 
reservations, sale procedures, terms and conditions, planning and 
environmental documentation, is available at the Lakeview District 
Office, P.O. Box 151, 1000 South Ninth Street, Lakeview, Oregon 97630.
    For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit comments to the 
Lakeview Resource Manager, Bureau of Land Management, at the above 
address. Objections will be reviewed by the District Manager who may 
sustain, vacate or modify this realty action. In the absence of any 
objections, this realty action will become the final determination of 
the Department of the Interior.

    Dated: November 2, 1995.
Scott R. Florence,
