    The above described parcel of land is hereby classified for 
disposal pursuant to section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act, 43 U.S.C. 
315f and segregated from appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the mining laws, but not from sale under the above cited 
statutes. The segregation will last for a period of 270 days from the 
date of publication, 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 competitive sale procedures 
as authorized under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
October 21, 1976 and 43 CFR 2711.3-3. The land will be offered for 
competitive sale at 10 a.m. PST, on September 30, 1999 and will be by 
written bid only. Sealed written bids, delivered or mailed, must be 
received by the BLM, Lakeview Resource Area Office, 1300 South G 
Street, HC 10 Box 337, Lakeview, Oregon 97630, prior to 10 a.m. on 
Thursday, September 30, 1999, and 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 and shall be 
enclosed in a sealed envelope clearly marked, in the lower left hand 
corner, ``Bid for Public Land Sale OR 54499, Lake County, Oregon, 
September 30, 1999.'' All written sealed bids received will be opened 
and the high bidder declared at the time of the sale. In the event of a 
tie, the tied bidders will be notified and given an opportunity to 
modify their original bids. The resulting bid off will determine the 
high bidder and the high bidder will be notified by certified mail. The 
high bidder is required to pay the total purchase price within 180 days 
of the date of sale or the bid deposit will be forfeited and the parcel 
reoffered to the public until sold or withdrawn from sale.
    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 54499 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 successful bidder must include 
with the final payment a non-refundable $50.00 filing fee for 
conveyance of the mineral estate.
    Federal law requires that 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.
    If the land identified in this notice is not sold on the date of 
first sale offering, the parcel will be available on an over-the-
counter competitive sale basis at no less than the indicated sale price 
and subject to the above terms and conditions. Sealed bids will be 
accepted on the unsold parcel at the Lakeview Resource Area Office 
during regular business hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through

opened the first Wednesday of each subsequent month until the land is 
either sold or withdrawn from sale. Prospective buyers should inquire 
about parcel availability after September 30, 1999.

reservations, sale procedures, terms and conditions, planning and 
environmental documentation, is available at the Lakeview Resource Area
