The area described contains 6.54 acres, in Boulder County. The parcel is approximately 1 mile south of the town of Ward, Colorado. The parcel described in this notice was identified for disposal in an approved land use plan in effect on July 25, 2000. Proceeds from this sale will be deposited into the Federal Land Disposal Account authorized under Section 206 of the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act, Public Law 106-248. The parcel is not required for Federal purposes and was identified for disposal in the BLM Northeast Colorado Resource Management Plan approved in September 1986, and therefore meets the qualifications for disposal from Federal ownership. The disposal

(sale)of the parcel would serve the public interest for private economic development. On August 30, 2007, the parcel will be segregated from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, except as to competitive sale as herein proposed. The segregative effect will terminate upon issuance of a patent, publication in the **Federal Register** of a termination of the segregation, or August 31, 2009 unless extended by the BLM State Director, Colorado, in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination date. The parcel will be offered for sale using both sealed and oral bid procedures on February 29, 2008 at an oral auction, for not less than the appraised fair market value (FMV). Federal law requires that bidders must be citizens of the United States, 18 years of age or older, or in the case of a corporation, be subject to the laws of any State of the United States. Proof of citizenship shall accompany the bid. The appraised FMV of the parcel will be determined approximately 30 days in advance of the auction date. In addition to the appraised FMV minimum bid and any bid addition, the successful bidder/purchaser shall reimburse the BLM for its costs of $7,411.00 incurred for surveying the boundaries of the parcel. Sealed bids under 43 CFR 2711.3-1(c) must be received at the BLM Royal Gorge Field Office no later than 4:30 p.m., MST, February 27, 2008. The outside of bid envelopes must be clearly marked on the front lower left-hand corner with “SEALED BID” “BLM Land Sale CO, COC-70516” and the bid opening date of February 29, 2008. Sealed bid opening will begin at 9 a.m., MST, February 29, 2008, and the highest acceptable bid will be determined. All oral bidders are required to register, which will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 9 a.m. MST, on February 29, 2008. Prospective oral bidders are encouraged to pre-register by mail or fax (719-269-8599) by completing the form in the sale packet available for this sale. The highest qualifying sealed bid will become the starting bid at the oral auction. If no sealed bids are received, oral bidding will begin at the FMV, as determined by the authorized officer and will be accepted in $100 increments only. If no oral bids are received, the highest acceptable sealed bid will be considered the purchaser. The apparent high bidder must submit a deposit of not less than 30 percent of the successful bid at the end of the auction along with $7,411.00 to cover the survey costs. The remainder of the full bid price must be paid within 180 calendar days from the date of the sale. Failure to pay the full price within the 180 days will disqualify the apparent high bidder and shall result in forfeiture of the entire 30 percent deposit to the BLM. The BLM cannot accept the full price at any time following the 180th day after the sale. Payments must be in the form of a certified check, postal money order, bank draft, or cashier's check made payable in U.S. dollars to the order of the U.S. Department of the Interior—BLM. *Personal checks will not be accepted* .
