    In addition to the lands described herein, parcels that have been 
published in a previous Notice of Realty Action (NORA), and were 
previously offered but did not sell, may be re-offered at this sale.
    When the land is sold, conveyance of the locatable mineral 
interests will occur simultaneously with the sale of the land. The 
locatable mineral interests being offered have no known mineral value. 
Acceptance of a sale offer will constitute an application for 
conveyance of those mineral interests. In conjunction with the final 
payment, the applicant will be required to pay a $50.00 non-refundable 
filing fee for processing the conveyance of the locatable mineral 
interests.
    The terms and conditions applicable to the sale are as follows:

All Parcels Subject to the Following

    1. All leaseable and saleable mineral deposits are reserved on land 
sold; permittees, licensees, and lessees retain the right to prospect 
for, mine, and remove the minerals owned by the United States under 
applicable law and any regulations that the Secretary of the Interior 
may prescribe, including all necessary access and exit rights.
    2. A right-of-way is reserved for ditches and canals constructed by 
authority of the United States under the Act of August 30, 1890 (43 
U.S.C. 945).
    3. All land parcels are subject to all valid existing rights. 
Parcels may also be subject to applications received prior to 
publication of this Notice if processing the application would have no 
adverse affect on the appraised FMV. Encumbrances of record are 
available for review during business hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., 
PDT, Monday through Friday, at the Bureau of Land Management, Las Vegas

agreement includes, but is not limited to, acts and omissions of the

third party, arising out of or in connection with the use and/or 
occupancy of the patented real property which has already resulted or 
does hereafter result in: (1) Violations of federal, state, and local 
laws and regulations that are now or may in the future become, 
applicable to the real property; (2) Judgements, claims or demands of 
any kind assessed against the United States; (3) Costs, expenses, or

patented real property, and any cleanup response, remedial action or 
other actions related in any manner to said solid or hazardous 
substances or wastes; or (6) Natural resource damages as defined by 
federal and state law. This covenant shall be construed as running with 
the patented real property and may be enforced by the United States in 
a court of competent jurisdiction.

close of the sale in the form of cash, personal check, bank draft, 
cashiers check, money order or any combination thereof, made payable to 
the Bureau of Land Management, for not less than 20 percent of the 
amount bid.
    The remainder of the full bid price, whether sealed or oral, must 
be paid within 180 calendar days of the sale date. Failure to pay the 
full price within the 180 days will disqualify the apparent high bidder 
and cause the entire bid deposit to be forfeited to the BLM. Unsold 
parcels may be offered on the Internet. Internet auction procedures 
will be available at www.auctionrp.com. If unsold on the Internet, 
parcels may be offered at future auctions without additional legal 
notice. Upon publication of this notice and until the completion of the 
sale, the BLM is no longer accepting land use applications affecting 
any parcel being offered for sale, including parcels being offered for 
sale that have been published in a previous Notice of Realty Action. 
However, land use applications may be considered after the completion 
of the sale within parcels that are not sold through sealed, oral, or 
on-line Internet auction procedures.
    Federal law requires bidders to be U.S. citizens 18 years of age or 
older; a corporation subject to the laws of any State or of the United 
States; a State, State instrumentality, or political subdivision 
authorized to hold property; or an entity including, but not limited 
to, associations or partnerships capable of holding property or 
interests therein under the law of the State of Nevada. Certification 
of qualification, including citizenship or corporation or partnership, 
must accompany the bid deposit.
    In order to determine the fair market value of the subject public 
lands through appraisal, certain assumptions have been made of the 
attributes and limitations of the lands and potential effects of local 
regulations and policies on potential future land uses. Through 
publication of this notice, the Bureau of Land Management gives notice 
that these assumptions may not be endorsed or approved by units of 
local government. Furthermore, no warranty of any kind shall be given 
or implied by the United States as to the potential uses of the lands 
offered for sale, and conveyance of the subject lands will not be on a 
contingency basis. It is the buyers' responsibility to be aware of all 
applicable local government policies and regulations that would affect 
the subject lands. It is also the buyers' responsibility to be aware of 
existing or projected use of nearby properties. When conveyed out of 
federal ownership, the lands will be subject to any applicable reviews 
and approvals by the respective unit of local government for proposed 
future uses, and any such reviews and approvals would be the 
responsibility of the buyer. Any land lacking access from a public road 
or highway will be conveyed as such, and future access acquisition will 
be the responsibility of the buyer.
