Realty Action: Sale of Public Land in Deschutes County, OR

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action, sale of public land.

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

SUMMARY: The following public land is being considered for sale at the 
appraised fair market value, under section 203 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 2750, 43 U.S.C. 1713). The 
parcel has been identified as suitable for public sale in the 
Brothers--La Pine Resource Management Plan.

Willamette Meridian

T. 15 S., R. 12 E., Section 1, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\; (portion), Small 
Tract, Comprising less than (\1/2\ acre

    This land is being considered for direct sale to the adjacent 
landowner to resolve an unintentional trespass. The encroachment 
involves a portion of the driveway and garage that were inadvertently 
placed over the property line due to the incorrect location of the 
property corner. Federal regulations describe procedures to address 
unauthorized use which include provisions to reimburse BLM for 
administrative costs.
    The affected public land would be surveyed and include an area 
measuring 50 feet by 400 feet. This configuration would minimize 
impacts to public resources, include all improvements and provide 
enough land to satisfy county set back requirements. A subsequent lot 
line adjustment processed through the Deschutes County Community 
Development Department would incorporate this parcel with the existing 
tax lot.
    This parcel is included in an area described in the BLM land use 
plan with a Zone 3 designation. Lands in this zone are generally 
scattered, isolated tracts with low or unknown resource values. These 
lands are potentially suitable for exchange or sale if significant 
public values are not identified.

    The buyer has expressed an interest to obtain the federal mineral 
estate which is offered under the authority of section 209(b) of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. In addition to the full 
purchase price, a non-refundable fee of $50 is necessary to purchase 
the mineral estate which would be conveyed simultaneously with the sale 
of the land.
    The land described is segregated from appropriation under the 
public land laws, including the mining laws, pending disposition of 
this action or 270 days from the date of publication of this notice, 
whichever occurs first.

DATES: This office will prepare an Environmental Assessment report to 
evaluate the proposal, describe alternatives and determine impacts and 
mitigating measures. On or before September 6, 2000, interested persons 
may submit comments. In the absence of any objections, this proposal 
will become the determination of the Department of the Interior.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be submitted to the Prineville District 
Manager, P.O. Box 550, Prineville, Oregon 97754.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Detailed information concerning this 
public land sale is available from Phil Paterno, Realty Specialist, 
Deschutes Resource Area at the above address, phone (541) 416-6724.
