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

    The above described parcel of 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 from the 
date of publication or until title transfer is completed or the 
segregation is terminated by publication in the Federal Register, 
whichever occurs first.
    The land is not considered essential to the public land management 
base and is unsuitable 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.
    The sale parcel will be offered under direct sale procedures to the 
North Lake Family Progress Team. Direct sale procedures are considered 
appropriate, in this case, as the offered public land is necessary to 
accommodate the development of a community park for Christmas Valley, 
Oregon. Direct sale procedures are authorized under 43 CFR 2711.3-3. 
The land will be offered for direct sale at 10:00 am PST, on May 18, 
1998 and will be by written bid only. A written bid 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, May 15, 
1998, and must be for not less than the appraised sale price indicated. 
The written 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.
    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 
withdrawn from further sale consideration.
    The terms, conditions and reservations applicable to the sale are 
as follows:
    (1) Patent to the sale parcel will contain a reservation to the 
United States for ditches and canals.
    (2) The sale parcel 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 
parcel OR 53809 have no known value. A deposit or bid to purchase the 
parcel will also constitute an application for conveyance of the 
mineral estate with the following reservations;
    (a) Oil and gas and geothermal resources 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.
    The North Lake Family Progress Team must include with their final 
payment a non-refundable $50.00 filing fee for conveyance of the 
mineral estate.
    Federal law requires that the bidder must be a U.S. citizen, 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.
    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 Area Manager, Bureau of Land Management, at the above 
address. Objections will be reviewed by the Lakeview 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: February 6, 1998.
