Section 28: N1⁄2NE1⁄4NE1⁄4NE1⁄4, 

N1⁄2SW1⁄4NE1⁄4NE1⁄4NE1⁄4, 

SE1⁄4NE1⁄4NE1⁄4NE1⁄4, 

E1⁄2NE1⁄4NW1⁄4NE1⁄4NE1⁄4 and 

E1⁄2NE1⁄4SE1⁄4NE1⁄4NE1⁄4.

The area described contains 11.25 

acres. The parcel will be sold at no less 

than the appraised fair market value of 

$3,300.00. 

The land will be sold using the direct 

sale procedures authorized under 43 

CFR 2711.3–3. Direct sale is appropriate 

because of the need to resolve 

inadvertent unauthorized use and 

occupancy of the public land resulting 

from encroachment of a farmstead from 

adjoining land, and to protect equities 

arising from that use, which was 

initiated by a previous land owner 

several decades ago. Because of the 

small size and configuration of the 

parcel, its historic use and its location 

relative to the adjoining private land, it 

is impractical for another party to own 

or for the BLM to retain the parcel under 

its management. 

George and Joanne Voile 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 180 days 

thereafter to submit the balance. 

The following rights, reservations, 

and conditions will be included in the 

patent 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. A right-of-way reserved to the 

United States for that electric power 

transmission line, and all appurtenances 

thereto, constructed by the United 

States under Federal Power Commission 

Order of 9/5/58 for Project 1971. 

3. Such rights as Baker County, 

Oregon may have for a road right-of-way 

granted, created or established by or for 

the use of the public and by or under 

Local, State or Federal Laws or 

decisions, or otherwise. 

4. Such rights for an irrigation canal 

that the Southside Improvement District 

may have pursuant to a right-of-way 

R.S. 2339 and R.S. 2340 (43 U.S.C. 661) 

(OR–58407). 

5. A notice and indemnification 

statement on the patent under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act (42 U.S.C. Section 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 mineral 

value. Acceptance of a direct sale offer 

constitutes an application for 

conveyance of the mineral interest 

pursuant to 43 CFR part 2720. 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, with 

the exception of sales under the above 

cited statutes, pending disposition of 

this action or 270 days from the date of 

publication of this notice, whichever 

occurs first. 

Detailed information concerning this 

sale, including the reservations, sale 

procedures and conditions, appraisal, 

planning and environmental 

documents, and mineral report is 

available for review at the Baker Field 

Office at the above address. 

Objections will be reviewed by the 

Vale District Manager who may sustain, 

vacate, or modify this realty action. In 

the absence of any objections, this 

proposal will become the final 

determination of the Department of the 

Interior. 

Comments, including names, street 

addresses, and other contact 

information of respondents, will be 

available for public review. Individual 

respondents may request 

confidentiality. If you wish to request 

that the BLM consider withholding your 

name, street address and other contact 

information, e.g., 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. The BLM will honor 

requests for confidentiality on a case-bycase basis to the extent allowed by law. 

The 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 businesses.
