filing fee for processing the conveyance of the locatable mineral
interests.

2. A right-of-way is reserved for ditches and canals constructed by
authority of the United States under the Act of August 30, 1890 (43

June 3, 2003. Sealed bid envelopes must be marked on the lower front
left corner with the parcel number and sale date. Bids must be for not
less than the appraised FMV and a separate bid must be submitted for
each parcel.
Each sealed bid shall be accompanied by a certified check, money
order, bank draft, or cashier's check made payable to the Bureau of
Land Management, for not less than 10 percent of the amount bid.
The highest qualified sealed bid for each parcel will become the
starting bid for oral bidding. If no sealed bids are received, oral
bidding will begin at the appraised FMV.
All parcels will be offered for competitive sale by oral auction
beginning at 10 a.m. PDT, June 5, 2003, at the Clark County Commission
Chambers, Clark County Government Center, 500 S. Grand Central Parkway,
LasVegas, Nevada. Registration for oral bidding will begin at 8:30 a.m.
the day of sale and will continue throughout the auction. All oral
bidders are required to register.
The highest qualifying bid for any parcel, whether sealed or oral,
will be declared the high bid. The apparent high bidder, if an oral
bidder, must submit the required bid deposit immediately following the
close of the sale in the form of cash, personal check, bank draft,
cashiers check, money order or any combination thereof, made payable to
the Bureau of Land Management, for not less than 20 percent of the
amount bid. If not paid by close of the auction, funds must be
delivered no later than 4:15 p.m. the day of the sale to the BLM Las
Vegas Field Office. Should the apparent high bidder for parcels N-76401
and N-76406 default, the next high bidder for those parcels will be
declared the apparent high bidder.
The remainder of the full bid price, whether sealed or oral, must
be paid within 180 calendar days of the sale date. Failure to pay the
full price within the 180 days will disqualify the apparent high bidder
and cause the entire bid deposit to be forfeited to the BLM.
Unsold parcels, with the exception of parcels N-76401 and N-76406,
may be offered on the Internet. Internet auction procedures will be
available at www.auctionrp.com. If unsold on the Internet, parcels may
be offered at future auctions without additional legal notice. Upon
publication of this notice and until the completion of the sale, the
BLM is no longer accepting land use applications affecting any parcel
being offered for sale, including parcels being offered for sale that
have been published in a previous Notice of Realty Action. However,
land use applications may be considered after the completion of the
sale within parcels that are not sold through sealed, oral, or on-line
Internet auction procedures.
Federal law requires bidders to be U.S. citizens 18 years of age or
older; a corporation subject to the laws of any State or of the United
States; a State, State instrumentality, or political subdivision
authorized to hold property; or an entity including, but not limited
to, associations or partnerships capable of holding property or
interests therein under the laws of the State of Nevada. Certification
of qualification, including citizenship or corporation or partnership,
must accompany the bid deposit.
In order to determine the fair market value of the subject public
lands through appraisal, certain assumptions have been made of the
attributes and limitations of the lands and potential effects of local
regulations and policies on potential future land uses. Through
publication of this notice, the Bureau of Land Management gives notice
that these assumptions may not be endorsed or approved by units of
local government. Furthermore, 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, and 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 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. Any land lacking access from a public road
or highway will be conveyed as such, and future access acquisition will
be the responsibility of the buyer.
