SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land in

under sections 203 and 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 2750, 43 U.S.C. 1713 and 1719). The parcel 
proposed for sale is identified as follows:

Willamette Meridian, Oregon

T. 25 S., R. 5 W.,
    Parcel B, in DLC 52.

    The area described contains 0.08 acre, more or less. Said legal 
description is subject to final approval and acceptance of a Cadastral 
Survey. This parcel will be sold at no less than the appraised market 
value, which has been determined to be $7,254.
    In accordance with 43 CFR 2710.0-6(c)(3)(iii) direct sale 
procedures are appropriate since the land is needed for a public 
purpose.
    Douglas County will be allowed 30 days from receipt of a written 
offer to submit a deposit of at least 20 percent of the appraised 
market value of the parcel, and within 180 days thereafter to submit 
the balance.
    The following rights, reservations, and conditions will be included 
in the Deed conveying the land:
    1. A reservation to the United States for a right-of-way for 
ditches and canals constructed by the authority of the United States. 
Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
    2. The Deed would also include a notice and indemnification 
statement under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation 
and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9620) holding the United States harmless 
from any release of hazardous materials that may have occurred as a 
result of the unauthorized use of the property by other parties.
    The mineral interests being offered for conveyance have no known 
value. Acceptance of the direct sale offer constitutes an application 
for conveyance of the mineral interests also being offered under the 
authority of Section 209(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1719). In addition to the full purchase price, a 
nonrefundable fee of $50 will be required for purchase of the mineral 
interests to 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.
    Detailed information concerning this land sale, including the 
reservations, sale procedures and conditions, planning and 
environmental documents, and mineral report is available for review at 
the Roseburg District Office, Bureau of Land Management, 777 NW. Garden 
Valley Blvd., Roseburg, Oregon 97470.
    In the absence of any objections, this proposal will become the 
final determination of the Department of the Interior.

information of respondents, will be available for public review. 
Individual respondents may request confidentiality. If you wish to 
request that BLM consider withholding your name, street address and 
other contact information (such as: Internet address, fax or phone 
number) from public review or from disclosure under the Freedom of 
Information Act, you must state this prominently at the beginning of 
your written comment. BLM will honor requests for confidentiality on a 
case-by-case basis to the extent allowed by law. BLM will make 
available for public inspection in their entirety all submissions from 
organizations and businesses, and from individuals identifying 
themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or
