The above described land parcels are 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 or until title transfers are completed or the
segregation is terminated by publication in the Federal Register,
whichever occurs first. This land will be offered for sale in
accordance with a congressionally directed plan to restore and maintain
the public/private ownership ratio in Lake County. The land is not
suitable for management by another Federal agency. No significant
resource values will be affected by this disposal. The sale is
consistent with Bureau planning for the land involved and will serve
important public objectives.
Sale parcel OR 51852 will be offered under direct sale procedures
to Ray and Edna Wagner of Fort Rock, Oregon. Direct sale procedures are
considered appropriate, in this case, to resolve a fence line location
dispute and to avoid the future unauthorized use of the involved public
land. Sale parcels OR 36285, OR 49389, OR 51851 and OR 51853 will be
offered using competitive sale procedures. Both sale procedures are
authorized under 43 CFR 2711.3-3. The land will be offered for sale at
public auction beginning at 10:00 am PST, on February 21, 1996, and
will be by sealed bid only. All sealed bids must be submitted to the
BLM, Lakeview District Office at P.O. Box 151, 1000 South Ninth Street,
Lakeview, Oregon 97630, no later than 4:30 pm PST, February 20, 1996. A
separate written bid must be submitted for each parcel desired and bids
must be for not less than the appraised sale price indicated. Each
written sealed bid must be accompanied by a certified check, postal
money order, bank draft or cashier's check, made payable to the
Department of the Interior-BLM for not less than the bid deposit
specified in this notice. All bids shall be enclosed in a sealed
envelope clearly marked, in the lower left hand corner,
Bid for Public Land Sale OR (number),
Lake County, Oregon, February 21, 1996.
The total purchase price for the land shall be paid within 180 days
of the date of sale or the bid deposit will be forfeited and the
parcel(s) will be reoffered to the public with the exception of sale
parcel OR 51852 which will not be reoffered.
The terms, conditions and reservations applicable to the sales are
as follows:
(1) Patents to all sale parcels will contain a reservation to the
United States for ditches and canals.
(2) The sale parcels will be subject to all valid existing rights
of record at the time of patent issuance.
(3) The mineral interests being offered for conveyance with sale
parcels OR 49389, OR 51851 and OR 51853 have no known value. A deposit
or bid to purchase these parcel(s) will also constitute an application
for conveyance of the mineral estate with the following reservations;
(a) The oil and gas and geothermal resources will be reserved to
the United States for sale parcels, OR 49389, OR 51851 and OR 51853,
except the SW\1/4\ of Section 28 of Parcel OR 49389 where the minerals
are privately owned.
(b) All minerals relative to sale parcels OR 36285 and OR 51852
will be reserved to the United States.

mineral estate.
Federal law requires that all bidders 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. Under competitive sale procedures,
an apparent high bid will be declared at public auction. In the event
of a tie, the tied bidders will be notified and given the opportunity
to modify their original bids. The apparent high bidder will then be
notified.
If the land identified in this notice, except parcel OR 51852, are
not sold on the date of first sale offering, the unsold parcels will be
available on an over-the-counter competitive sale basis. All over-the-
counter sale parcels will be sold subject to the above terms and
conditions and at no less than the indicated sale price. Sealed bids
will be accepted on the unsold parcels at the Lakeview District Office
during regular business hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PST Monday
