Reality Action; Proposed Direct Sale

May 2, 1995.
    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 
[[Page 25731]] 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, Oregon

T. 4 S., R. 4 E.,
    Sec. 11, Lot 3.

    The above-described parcel contains 2.44 acres in Clackamas 
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 value 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, its 
best use is to merge it with one of the adjoining ownerships. Use of 
the modified competitive sale procedures will avoid an inappropriate 
land ownership pattern. The sale is consistent with the Eastside 
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. Bidders must be United States citizens and 18 years of age or 
older. The parcel is being offered only to Francis H. and Ilene M.
