Realty Action; Proposed Direct Sale

October 28, 1994.

The following described public land has been examined and

determined to be suitable for transfer out of Federal ownership by

modified competitive sale under the authority of Sections 203 and 209

of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended (90

Stat. 2750; 43 U.S.C. 1713 and 90 Stat. 2757; 43 U.S.C. 1719), at not

less than the appraised fair market value:

Willamette Meridian, Oreg

T. 1 N., R. 3 W.,

Sec. 3, Lot 2.

The above-described parcel contains 0.80 acre in Washington

County.

The parcel will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days

after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The fair

market value of the parcel has not yet been determined. Anyone

interested in knowing the values may request this information from the

address shown below.

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 or until title

transfer is completed or the segregation is terminated by publication

in the Federal Register, whichever occurs first.

The parcel is difficult and uneconomic to manage as part of the

public lands and is not suitable for management by another Federal

department or agency. No significant resource values will be affected

by this transfer. Because of the parcel's relatively small size and

equities of two adjoining landowners, its best use is to merge it with

one of the adjoining ownerships. The sale is consistent with the

Westside Management Framework Plan and the public interest will be

served by offering this parcel for sale.

Modified Bidding Procedures

Modified bidding procedures are being used pursuant to 43 CFR

2711.3-2. The parcel is being offered only to Robert F. Dersham et al.

(fee owners of Tax Lot 600, Map 1N 3 3) and William Tolke et al. (fee

owners of Tax Lot 300, Map 1N 3 11). Use of the modified competitive

sale procedures will avoid an inappropriate land ownership pattern and

would recognize equities of the individuals involved.

Sealed written bids, delivered or mailed, must be received by the

Bureau of Land Management, Salem District Office, 1717 Fabry Road SE,

Salem, Oregon 97306, prior to 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 28,

1994. Each written sealed bid must be accompanied by a certified check,

postal money order, bank draft or cashier's check, made payable to

USDI--Bureau of Land Management for not less than the appraised value

of the parcel to be sold, and shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope

clearly marked in the lower left hand corner, ``Bid for Public Land

Sale OR 51291''. The written sealed bids will be opened and declared at

the sale.

The terms, conditions, and reservations applicable to the sale are

as follows:

1. The mineral interests being offered for conveyance have no known

mineral value. A bid submitted will also constitute an application for

conveyance of the mineral estate, in accordance with Section 209 of the

Federal Land Policy and Management Act. All qualified bidders must

include with their bid a nonrefundable $50.00 filing fee for the

conveyance of the mineral estate.

2. The patent will be subject to:

a. Rights-of-way for ditches or canals will be reserved to the

United States under 43 U.S.C. 945; and

b. All valid existing rights and reservations of record.

Detailed information concerning the sale is available for review at

the Salem District Office, address above.

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

Tillamook Area Manager, Tillamook Resource Area Office, 4610 Third

Street, Tillamook, OR 97141. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by

the Salem District Manager, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this

realty action. In the absence of any adverse comments, this realty

action will become the final determination of the Department of the

Interior.

Charles E. Hawkins,

Acting Tillamook Area Manager.
