Willamette Meridian, Oregon

The area described contains 40 acres and 

will be sold by direct sale to Ernest and Dixie 

Shuffield at not less than the appraised 

market value of $30,000. 

In accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3–

appropriate to resolve inadvertent 

unauthorized use or occupancy of the 

land. Currently, portions of the sale 

parcel are being used in conjunction 

with the Shuffield residence as a fenced 

storage area and are under cultivation 

for alfalfa hay. All improvements to the 

parcel were constructed/developed 

either by the Shuffields or their 

predecessors and have encumbered the 

sale parcel for over 50 years. 

Federal law requires that public land 

may be sold only to either (1) Citizens 

of the United States 18 years of age or 

older; (2) corporations subject to the 

laws of any State or of the United States; 

(3) other entities such as an association 

or a partnership capable of holding land 

or an interest therein under the laws of 

the State within which the land is 

located; or (4) a State, State 

instrumentality or political subdivision 

authorized to hold property. 

Certifications and evidence to this effect 

will be required of the purchaser prior 

to issuance of a patent. 

The following rights, reservations, 

and conditions will be included in the 

patent that may be issued for the above 

described parcel of 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 reservation to the United States 

for all leasable minerals including oil, 

gas and geothermal resources in the 

land in accordance with Section 209 of 

the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 

1719). 

3. The patent will include a notice 

and indemnification statement under 

the Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act. The parcel is subject to the 

requirements of section 120(h) (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. No 

Warranty of any kind, express or 

implied, is given by the United States as 

to the title, physical condition or 

potential uses of the parcel of land 

proposed for sale. 

4. Subject to such rights as Lake 

County or its successors in interest may 

have for roadway purposes pursuant to 

right-of-way, OR 49313. 

5. Subject to such rights as CenturyTel 

of Eastern Oregon or its successors in 

interest may have for buried telephone

OR 45023. 

6. The parcel is subject to valid 

existing rights. 

The mineral interests being offered for 

conveyance have no known mineral 

value. Consent to purchase constitutes 

an application for conveyance of the 

mineral interests. In addition to the full 

purchase price, the Shuffields must 

submit a nonrefundable filing fee of $50 

for purchase of the mineral interests to

sale of the land with the exception of all 

leasable minerals, including oil, gas and 

geothermal resources, which will be 

reserved to the United States in 

accordance with Section 209 of the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1719). 

On March 3, 2009, the above 

described lands will be segregated from 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the mining laws, except 

the sale provisions of the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 

U.S.C. 1713). Until completion of the 

sale, the Bureau of Land Management is 

no longer accepting land use 

applications affecting the identified 

public lands, except applications for the 

amendment of previously filed right-ofway applications or existing 

authorizations to increase the term of 

existing grants in accordance with 43 

CFR 2807.15 and 2886.15. The effect of 

segregation will terminate upon 

issuance of a patent, upon publication 

in the Federal Register of a termination 

of the segregation, or March 3, 2011, 

unless extended by the Bureau of Land 

Management, State Director, in 

accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d) 

prior to the termination date. 

The Shuffields will be allowed 30 

days from receipt of a written offer to 

submit either full payment or at least 20 

percent of the appraised value of the 

parcel and within 180 days, thereafter,

purchase price in not received within
