Modoc County, CA

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The following public land in Modoc County, California has been 
found suitable for direct sale under Section 203 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976, as amended (90 Stat. 2750, 
43 U.S.C. 1713), at not less than the appraised fair market value of 
$5,000. The land will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days 
after the publication date of this notice.

Mount Diablo Meridian, California

T. 39 N., R. 13 E.
    Section 12; Lot 2.

    Containing 5.01 acres.

    The land described is hereby segregated from appropriation under 
the public land laws, including the mining laws, pending disposition of 
this action or 270 days from the publication of this notice, whichever 
occurs first. This land is being offered by direct sale to Norm Vogt 
and Elsie M. Vogt, to resolve a long-standing unintentional residential 
occupancy. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has completed a mineral 
report for this land, and has determined that the subject parcel 
contains no known mineral values; therefore, mineral interests may be 
conveyed simultaneously. Acceptance of the direct sale offer will 
qualify the purchaser to make application for conveyance of those 
mineral interests.
    The patent, when issued, will contain a reservation to the United 
States of a

right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the authority 
of the United States under the Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945); 
and will be subject to those rights for purposes of a Revised Statutes 
2477 road granted to the County of Modoc, for the Jess Valley Road. An 
additional right-of-way, CACA-19788, was granted to Norm and Elsie Vogt 
to temporarily authorize the existing residential improvements until 
the problem could be resolved by this sale action. That right-of-way 
will be relinquished simultaneously with completion of this sale. No 
Federal grazing permits will be affected in any way by this sale. 
Detailed information concerning this action is available for review at 
the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Alturas Field Office, 708 
West 12th Street, Alturas, California 96101.
    For a period of 45 days from the date of publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register, interested persons may submit comments 
regarding the sale to the Field Manager, Alturas Field Office, at the 
above address. In the absence of any adverse comments, this proposal 
shall become the final determination of the Department of the Interior.

Timothy J. Burke,
Field Manager.
