Realty Action; Proposed Direct Sale

    The following described public land has been examined and 
determined to be suitable for transfer out of Federal ownership by 
direct 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. 7 S., R. 2 E.,
    Sec. 17, That portion of the NW\1/4\NE\1/4\ which, when 
surveyed, will likely be designated as ``Lot 2''.
    The above-described parcel contains 0.24 acre, more or less, in 
Marion County.

    The parcel will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days 
after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

[[Page 67890]]

The fair market value of the parcel has not yet been determined. Anyone 
interested in knowing the value may request this information from the 
address shown below.
    The above-described land is 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 parcel is difficult and uneconomic to manage as part of the 
public lands and is not suitable for management by another Federal 
department or agency. No significant resource values will not affected 
by this transfer. The sale is consistent with the Salem District 
Resource Management Plan and the public interest will be served by 
offering this parcel for sale.
    The parcel is being offered only to Konstantin Verbin, fee owner of 
the adjoining property (Tax Lot 800, Map 7 2E 08D). The subject parcel 
contains a water well, pumphouse, and pipeline that is owned by Mr. 
Verbin. Use of the direct sale procedures authorized under 43 CFR 
2711.3-3, will avoid an inappropriate land use pattern and recognize 
equities of the individual involved.
    The terms, conditions, and reservations applicable to the sale are 
as follows:
    1. Mr. Verbin must provide proof that he is a citizen of the United 
States and is 18 years of age or over.
    2. Mr. Verbin will be required to submit a deposit of either cash, 
bank draft, money order, or any combination thereof for not less than 
the appraised value.
    3. The mineral interests being offered for conveyance have no known 
mineral value. A bid will also constitute an application for conveyance 
of the mineral estate, in accordance with Section 209 of the Federal 
Land Policy and Management Act. A nonrefundable $50.00 filing fee will 
be required from Mr. Verbin for purchase of the mineral estate.
    4. The bargain and sale deed will be subject to:
    a. Rights-of-way for ditches or canals will be reserved to the 
United States under 43 U.S.C. 945; and
    b. All valid existing rights and reservations of record.
    Detailed information concerning the sale is available for review at 
the Salem District Office, address above.
    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 
Cascades Area Manager, address above. Any adverse comments will be 
reviewed by the Salem District Manager, who may sustain, vacate, or 
modify this realty action. In the absence of any adverse comments, this 
realty action will become the final determination of the Department of 
this Interior.
Richard C. Prather,
Cascades Area Manager.
