The authority for the sale is established
under sections 203 and 209 of the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976 (FLPMA) (43 U.S.C. 1713
and 1719) and the Federal Land
Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA) of
July 25, 2000, (43 U.S.C. 2301).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You
may contact the Redding Field Office,
(530) 224–2100 from 7:30 a.m to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday (except
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:33 Oct 22, 2007 Jkt 214001
Federal Holidays), and ask to have your
call directed to Ilene Emry, Realty
Specialist.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
public land is located in Yreka,
California and will be offered for sale
utilizing non-competitive (direct sale)
procedures in Siskiyou County.
Mount Diablo Meridian, California
T. 45 N., R. 7 W.,
Section 22, lot 13.
The area described contains 0.07 acres
more or less in Siskiyou County.
This parcel of public land is proposed
for sale to Tom and Kris McCullough,
the adjacent landowners, at not less
than appraised fair market value (FMV)
as determined by the authorized officer
after appraisal.
As stated, the public land is proposed
for sale subject to the applicable
provisions of sections 203 and 209 of
the FLPMA, as well as regulations at 43
CFR Parts 2710 and 2720. The sale
disposal is carried out in accordance
with section 205 of the Federal Land
Transaction Facilitation Act of July 25,
2000 (FLTFA) (43 U.S.C. 2304), in
which the proceeds from the sale of the
lands will be deposited into the Federal
Land Disposal account.
Consistent with FLPMA section 203,
the tract of public land may be sold as
a result of approved land use planning
if the sale of the tract meets the disposal
criteria.
The subject parcel is identified as
suitable for disposal in the BLM
Redding Resource Management Plan
(RMP) approved July 27, 1993. The
identified land is not needed for any
Federal purpose.
This sale also meets the criteria found
in Title 43 CFR 2710.0–3(a)(2) which
states ‘‘Disposal of such tract shall serve
important public objectives, including
but not limited to, expansion of
communities and economic
development which cannot be achieved
prudently or feasibly on lands other that
public lands and which outweigh other
public objectives and values, including,
but not limited to recreation and scenic
values, which would be served by
maintaining such tract in Federal
ownership.’’
The disposal (sale) of lands also meets
the criteria found under 43 CFR 2710.0–
3(a)(3) where ‘‘such a tract, because of
its location or other characteristics is
difficult and uneconomic to manage as
part of the public lands, and is not
suitable for management by another
Federal department or agency’’.
BLM regulations at 43 CFR 2711.3–
3(a) provide: ‘‘Direct sales (without
competition) may be utilized, when in
PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\23OCN1.SGM
the opinion of the authorized officer, a
competitive sale is not appropriate and
the public interest would best be served
by a direct sale’’.
The BLM Redding Field Manager has
determined that a non-competitive
(direct sale) will be in the best interest
of the public in facilitating overall
administration of public lands. The
FLPMA authorized the use of direct sale
of public lands to recognize public
policies by giving preference to users
such as the adjoining landowners. The
BLM parcel is a small uneconomic
remnant that is surrounded by private
land owned by the McCulloughs in a
developing subdivision.
The potential buyer of the parcel will
make application under section 209 of
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of October 21, 1976, to
purchase the mineral estate along with
the surface.
Conveyance of the available mineral
interests pursuant to Section 209 of the
FLPMA would occur simultaneously
with the sale of the land. The mineral
interests being offered for conveyance
have no known mineral value.
Acceptance of a direct sale offer will
constitute an application for conveyance
of those mineral interests. The applicant
will be required to pay a $50.00 non-
returnable filing fee for conveyance of
the available mineral interests.
The patent, if issued, will be subject
to the following terms, conditions and
reservations: A reservation to the United
States for ditches and canals
constructed by the authority of the
United States, Act of August 30, 1890
(43 U.S.C. 945).
No representation, warranty or
covenant of any kind, express or
implied, will be given or made by the
United States, its officers or employees,
as to access to or from the above
described parcel of land, the title to the
land, whether or to what extent the land
may be developed, its physical
condition or its past, present or
potential uses, and the conveyance of
any such parcel will not be on a
contingency basis. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to be aware of all
applicable Federal, State, any local
government policies and regulations
that would affect the subject lands. It is
also the buyer’s responsibility to be
aware of existing or prospective uses of
nearby properties. 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.
The environmental assessment and
approved appraisal report covering the
proposed sale are available for review at

described land will be segregated from
appropriations under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, except
the sale provision of the FLPMA. The
segregative effect will terminate upon
issuance of a patent, publication in the
December 7, 2007 of a termination of the
segregation, or October 23, 2009, unless

Director in accordance with 43 CFR
2711.1–2(d) prior to the termination

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651, et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act and requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The OSH Act and 29 CFR part 1904
prescribe that certain employers
maintain records of work-related
injuries and illnesses. The injury and
illness records are intended to have
multiple purposes. One purpose is to
provide data needed by OSHA to carry
out enforcement and intervention
