Realty Sale of Public Land in Harney County, OR

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Burns District.

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 (FLPMA) of 1976 (90 Stat. 2750, 43 U.S.C. 
1713).

Willamette Meridian

T. 22 S., R. 30 E.,
Section 23, lot 13.

    Comprising 2.10 acres.

    The following rights, reservations, and conditions will be included 
on the patents conveying the land:
    A reservation for a right-of-way for ditches and canals constructed 
thereon by the authority of United States.
    This land is being considered for direct sale to the adjacent 
landowner, Glen and Sharon Catterson, to resolve a long-term 
unintentional trespass. The encroachment involves portions of 
outbuildings and corrals that were inadvertently placed over the 
property line. Federal regulations describe procedures to address 
unauthorized use which include provisions to reimburse BLM for 
administrative costs.
    The affected public land has been surveyed and includes an area 
measuring 2.10 acres. This configuration would minimize impacts to 
public resources, include all private improvements, and provide enough 
land to satisfy County set back requirements and the County road right-
of-way.
    The buyer has expressed an interest to obtain the Federal mineral 
estate which is offered under the authority of section 209(b) of the 
FLPMA of 1976. In addition to the fair market price, a nonrefundable 
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 has prepared Documentation of Land Use Plan 
Conformance and National Environmental Policy Act Adequacy to evaluate 
the proposal. On or before May 28, 2002, 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 Acting Three Rivers 
Resource Area Field Manager, 28910 Hwy 20 West, Hines, Oregon 97738.

public land sale is available from Holly Griebel LaChapelle, Land Law
