Realty Action; Proposed Modified Competitive Sale

October 28, 1996.
    The following described public lands have been examined and 
determined to be suitable for transfer out of Federal ownership by 
modified competitive sale under the authority of Sections 203 and 209 
of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (90 
Stat. 2750; 43 U.S.C. 1713 and 90 Stat. 2757; 43 U.S.C. 1719), at not 
less than the appraised fair market value:

Willamette Meridian, Oregon,

T. 5 S., R. 6W.,
    Sec. 11, Lot 6 (OR 53113)
    Sec. 11, Lot 7 (OR 53114)
    Sec. 11, Lot 8 (OR 53115)
    Sec. 11, Lots 9 and 10 (OR 53116)
    Sec. 11, Lots 11 and 12 (OR 53117)

    The above-described parcels aggregate 6.45 acres in Yamhill 
County.

    The parcels will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days 
after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The fair 
market value of the parcels have not yet been determined. Anyone 
interested in knowing the values may request this information from the 
address shown below.
    The above-described lands 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 or until title 
transfer is completed or the segregation is terminated by publication 
in the Federal Register, whichever occurs first.
    The parcels are difficult and uneconomic to manage as part of the 
public lands and are not suitable for management by another Federal 
department or agency. No significant resource values will be affected 
by this transfer. The sale is consistent with the Salem District 
Resource Management Plan and the public interest will be served by 
offering these parcels for sale.
