segregation is terminated by publication in the Federal Register,
whichever occurs first.
The land is not considered essential to the public land management
base and is unsuitable for management by another Federal agency. No
significant resource values will be affected by this disposal. The sale
is consistent with Bureau planning for the land involved and will serve
important public objectives.

corner, ``Bid for Public Land Sale OR 54499, Lake County, Oregon,

tie, the tied bidders will be notified and given an opportunity to
modify their original bids. The resulting bid off will determine the
high bidder and the high bidder will be notified by certified mail. The
