SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The parcels being re-offered for sale are parcels that did not sell during the BLM Internet auction conducted November 18 through December 21, 2009. The five parcels to be offered for sale are identified by the following case file numbers: N-78190, N-81926, N-81927, N-81930, and N-86661. Information on each parcel can be found on the BLM and the GSA Web sites when the opening date for the sale is established. The sale by competitive online auction will be conducted by the GSA. Bidders may register on the GSA Web site, https://www.auctionrp.com/​.

The NORA published on September 11, 2009, is amended to include the following bidder registration requirements and sale terms and conditions: All registered bidders must submit a bid guarantee in the amount of $10,000 for each parcel on which the bidder plans to submit a bid. The guarantee must be by certified check, bank draft, postal money order, or cashier's check made payable in U.S. dollars. The bid guarantee will be applied towards the required 20 percent bid deposit of the successful high bidder. Following the auction, all bid guarantees will be returned to the unsuccessful bidders. If a bidder purchases one or more parcels and defaults on any single parcel, the default may be against all of that bidder's parcels. The BLM may retain the $10,000 bid guarantee for each parcel and the sale of all parcels to that bidder may be cancelled. If a high bidder fails to submit the 20 percent deposit and defaults on a parcel, the second highest bidder will become the apparent high bidder. If the high bidder is unable to consummate the transaction for any other reasons, the second-highest bid may be considered for award. All other aspects of the September 11, 2009 notice are correct as published.
