Realty Action; Direct Sale of Public Lands; Oregon

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action--Direct Sale of Public Lands in Lane 
County, Oregon.

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

SUMMARY: The following land is suitable for direct sale under Sections 
203 and 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, (43 
U.S.C. 1713 and 1719), at no less than the appraised fair market value 
of $1500.00. The land will not be offered for sale until at least 60 
days after publication of this notice:

Willamette Meridian, Oregon

T. 21 S., R. 3 W.
Sec. 2: Lots 5 and 8
Containing 1.72 acres

    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 from the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register 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 uneconomic 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 BLM's planning for the land 
involved and the public interest will be served by the sale.

[[Page 41267]]

    Purchasers 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.
    The land is being offered to Amvesco, Inc., dba Western Pioneer 
Title Co., using the direct sale procedures authorized under 43 CFR 
2711.3-3. Direct sale is appropriate since the land is part of a survey 
hiatus identified by cadastral survey in 1999 and has been 
inadvertently occupied and utilized for many years as a county road and 
portions of five residential yards pursuant to private deeds. Direct 
sale will resolve the title conflicts and unauthorized use while 
preserving the occupants' equity in the property.
    The terms, conditions, and reservations applicable to the sale are 
as follows:
    1. A right-of-way for ditches and canals will be reserved to the 
United States under 43 U.S.C. 945.
    2. The mineral interests being offered for conveyance have no known 
mineral value. The acceptance of a direct sale offer will constitute an 
application for conveyance of the mineral estate in accordance with 
section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. Direct 
purchasers must submit a nonrefundable $50.00 filing fee for the 
conveyance of the mineral estate upon request by the Bureau of Land 
Management.
    3. Patent will be issued subject to all valid existing rights and 
reservations of record.
    4. The sale will be subject to:
    a. Such rights for public road purposes as Lane County, Oregon, or 
its successors in interest may have pursuant to right-of-way OR 55407. 
Act of October 21, 1976, 90 Stat. 2776, 43 U.S.C. 1761.
    b. A requirement that the purchaser, at closing, grant an easement 
to the U.S. Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration, for 
an existing electric transmission line.

DATES: 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 Field Manager, South Valley Resource Area, Bureau of Land 
Management, at the address below. Objections will be reviewed by the 
Eugene District Manager who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty 
action. In absence of any objections, this realty action will become 
the final determination of the Department of the Interior
