More detailed information regarding 

the proposed sale and the lands

CFO. 

The competitive sale will be held at 

the BLM, CFO. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The land 

sale is in conformance with the BLM 

Carlsbad Resource Management Plan 

and Amendment dated 1997, and the 

public interest will be served by offering 

this land for sale. The land is hereby 

classified for disposal in accordance 

with Executive Order No. 6910, and 

with Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing 

Act, 43 U.S.C. 315F. The proposed land 

will be put up for sale by competitive 

auction on March 19, 2007. The auction 

will be held in accordance with the 

applicable provisions of Section 203 of 

the FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1713), and its 

implementing regulations, 43 CFR part 

2710 and 2711, at not less than the FMV 

for the parcel. The appraised market 

value of the subject property is 

$20,850.00 (twenty thousand eight 

hundred fifty dollars and no cents). 

The purpose of this sale is to dispose 

a tract of land that will serve important 

public objectives, including but not 

limited to, expansion of communities 

and economic development, which 

cannot be achieved prudently or 

feasibly on land other than public land. 

The sale of this land outweighs other 

public objectives and values, including, 

but not limited to, recreation and scenic 

values, which would be served by 

maintaining such tract in Federal 

ownership. No significant resource 

values will be affected by this transfer. 

The locatable, salable, and leasable 

mineral rights will be reserved by the 

United States and not conveyed with 

the surface estate. The disposal would 

not generate any adverse energy impacts 

or limit energy production and 

distribution. 

In accordance with 43 CFR 4120.3–6, 

the grazing permittee has waived his 

rights to continue grazing the subject 

lands for a 2-year period and to 

compensation for his investments in 

authorized range improvements. 

Therefore, the patent will not be issued 

subject to a grazing permit or any 

authorized range improvements. 

Upon publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, the above described 

land will be segregated from all other 

forms of appropriation under the public 

land laws, including the general mining 

laws and leasing under the mineral 

leasing laws. Upon publication of this 

notice and until completion of the sale, 

the BLM will no longer accept land use 

applications affecting the parcel 

identified for sale. The segregative effect 

of this notice shall terminate upon 

issuance of patent, upon publication in 

the Federal Register of a termination of 

the segregation or 2 years from the date 

of publication, whichever occurs first. 

Sale Procedures: Federal law requires 

all bidders must be (a) United States 

citizens and 18 years of age or older; (b) 

a corporation subject to the laws of any 

State or of the United States; (c) a State, 

State instrumentality, or political 

subdivision authorized to hold property; 

or (d) an entity legally capable of 

conveying and holding lands or 

interests therein under the laws of the 

State of New Mexico. Certification of 

qualifications, including citizenship, 

corporation or partnership, must 

accompany the bid deposit. Bids must 

be made by the principal or his duly 

qualified agent. Certifications of 

Qualification forms are available at the 

BLM, Carlsbad Field Office at the above 

address or by calling (505) 234–5972. 

Sealed bids shall be considered only 

if received at the BLM, Carlsbad Field 

Office, 620 East Greene, Carlsbad, New 

Mexico 88220 by no later than 4:30 

p.m., MST on March 16, 2007. Each

for not less than 10 percent or more than 

30 percent of the bid amount. Sealed 

bids of less than the appraised FMV will 

be rejected. The highest qualified sealed 

bid received shall be publicly declared 

and will become the starting point for 

the oral auction. In the event that two 

or more sealed bids are received 

containing valid bids of the same 

amount, the determination of which is 

to be considered the highest designated 

bid will be by supplemental oral 

bidding. In the event that neither 

originator of a submitted valid bid of the 

same amount is present on the day of 

the sale a coin will be tossed to 

determine which of the two identical 

bids will be considered the highest 

designated bid to use as the starting 

point for supplemental oral bidding. If 

no sealed bids are received, oral bidding 

will begin at the appraised FMV. Oral 

bid increments will be a minimum of 

$500. 

The highest qualifying bid for the 

parcel, whether sealed or oral, will be 

declared the high bid. The high bidder, 

if an oral bidder, must submit the full 

deposit amount by 4:30 p.m. MST on 

the day of the sale in the form of cash, 

personal check, bank draft, cashiers 

check, money order or any combination 

thereof, made payable to the Department 

of the Interior, Bureau of Land 

Management, for not less than 20 

percent of the amount of the successful 

bid. Should the high bidder default, the 

next high qualified bidder for the parcel 

will be declared the high bidder. 

The successful bidder, whether sealed 

or oral, shall submit the remainder of 

the full bid price prior to the expiration 

of 180 days from the date of the sale in 

the form of cash, personal check, bank 

draft, cashier’s check, money order or 

any combination thereof, made payable 

to the Department of the Interior, 

Bureau of Land Management. 

Failure to submit the full bid price 

prior to, but not including the 180th day 

following the day of the sale, shall result 

in cancellation of the sale and the 

deposit shall be forfeited. 

Additional Information: The BLM 

may accept or reject any or all offers, or 

withdraw any parcel of land or interest 

therein from sale, if, in the opinion of 

the authorized officer, consummation of 

the sale would not be fully consistent 

with FLPMA or other applicable laws. If 

not sold, the parcel may be identified 

for sale at a later date without further 

legal notice. 

In order to establish the FMV for the 

subject public land through appraisal, 

certain assumptions have been made of 

the attitudes and limitations of the land 

and potential effects of local regulations 

and policies on potential future land 

uses. 

Through publication of this notice, 

the BLM gives notice that these 

assumptions may not be endorsed or 

approved by units of local government. 

It is the buyer’s responsibility to be 

aware of all applicable local government 

policies, laws, and regulations that 

would affect the subject lands, 

including any required dedication of 

lands for public uses. 

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. Furthermore, conveyance of the 

subject lands will not be on a 

contingency basis. It is the buyer’s 

responsibility to be aware of all 

applicable local government policies 

and regulations that would affect the 

subject lands. It is also the buyer’s 

responsibility to be aware of existing or 

projected use of neighboring and 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.
