Notice of Realty Action

ACTION: Notice of realty action, direct sale, Jackson County, Oregon--
OR 53422.

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

SUMMARY: The following land is suitable for direct sale under Section 
203 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 
1713, and at no less than the appraised fair market value. The land 
will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days after publication 
of this notice.

Willamette Meridian, Oregon

T. 39 S., R. 2 E., Section 1, NW\1/4\NE\1/4\; Section 17, SE\1/
4\NE\1/4\, NE\1/4\SE\1/4\

    Containing 120.50 acres.

    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.
    This land is difficult and uneconomical to manage as part of the 
public lands and is not suitable for management by another federal 
agency. No significant resource values will be affected by this 
disposal. The sale is consistent with the Medford District's Resource 
Management Plan for the land involved and the public interest will be 
served by the sale.
    Purchasers must be United States 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.
    The land is being offered to James C. Miller, III using the direct 
sale procedure authorized under 43 CFR 2711.3-3. Direct sale is 
appropriate since the lands are isolated and lack legal access. Mr. 
Miller is one of three adjoining landowners, however, the others have 
stated they have no interest in acquisition of the lands. It has been 
determined that the subject parcels contain no known mineral values. 
Acceptance of a direct sale offer will constitute an application for 
conveyance of those mineral interests having no known value. The 
applicant will be required to pay a $50.00 non-refundable filing fee 
for conveyance of said mineral interest. The land will not be offered 
for sale until at least 60 days after publication of this in the 
Federal Register.
    A quit claim deed when issued, will contain the following 
reservation to the United States:
    A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the 
authority of the United States pursuant to the act of August 30, 1890 
(43 U.S.C. 945).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jan Miller, Realty Specialist, Bureau 
of Land Management, 3040 Biddle Road, Medford, Oregon 97504, (541) 770-
2221.
    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 
District Manager, Medford District Office, Bureau of Land Management, 
3040 Biddle Road, Medford, Oregon 97504. In the absence of timely 
objections, this proposal shall become the final determination of the 
Department of the Interior.

    Dated: September 22, 1997.
David A. Jones,
District Manager.
