•
The time and place of the sale;
How to participate in the bidding process;
The sale process;

Attached to this notice is a list of the lands we are offering by parcel number and description. We have referenced any
special conditions or restrictions that will be made a part of the lease below each parcel.
When and where will the sale take place?
When:
The competitive oral sale will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 29, 2004. The sale
room will open one-half hour earlier so you can get your bidding number.
Where:
We will hold the sale in the Land Office at 333 SW First Ave., Portland, Oregon. There
is metered parking on the street and pay-to-park lots in the area. Public transportation is
an option.
Access:
The sale room is accessible to persons with disabilities. If you need an auxiliary aid or
service to participate in the sale, such as a sign language interpreter or materials in an
alternate format, contact Donna Kauffman at (503) 808-6162, by April 19, 2004.
How do I participate in the bidding process?
To participate in the bidding process, you must get a bidding number. You must display your bidding number to the
auctioneer when you submit a bid.
Attachment 1-1
What is the sale process?
Starting at 9:00 a.m. on the day of the sale­
• The auctioneer will offer the parcels in the order they are shown in the attached list;
ib-or-2004-087-Attachment 1
• All bids are on a per-acre basis for the entire acreage in the parcel;
• The successful bid is the highest oral bid equal to or exceeding the minimum acceptable bid; and
• The decision of the auctioneer is final.
The minimum bid BLM can accept is $2 per acre. If a parcel contains fractional acreage, round it up to the next whole
acre. For example, a parcel of 100.32 acres requires a minimum bid of $202 ($2 x 101 acres). After we have offered
all the parcels, you may ask the auctioneer to re-offer any unsold parcels.
What conditions apply to the lease sale?
• Parcel withdrawal or sale cancellation: We reserve the right to withdraw any or all parcels before the sale
begins. If we withdraw a parcel, we will post a notice in the Oregon State Office Land Office (Public Room)
before the day of the sale. We will announce withdrawn parcels before beginning the sale. If we cancel the sale,
we will notify you as soon as possible.
• Payment due: You cannot withdraw a bid. Your bid is a legal binding commitment to sign the bid form, accept
the lease, and pay the money due on the day of the sale. You may pay immediately after the sale, or you can pay
within one hour after the close of the sale at our Land Office on the 1st floor of the State Office.
If you are the successful high bidder on a parcel, the money due the day of the sale is the minimum bid of $2 per
acre, the first year’s rent ($1.50 per acre), and the administrative fee ($75). You may pay the total due the day of
the sale, or you may pay the balance of the bonus bid due by the close of business on
May 13, 2004, which is the 10th working day following the sale. If you do not pay in full by this date, you lose
the right to the lease and all money paid on the day of the sale. If you forfeit a parcel, we may offer it at a later
sale.
• Forms of payment: You can pay by personal check, certified check, money order, or credit card (VISA,
MasterCard, Discover, or American Express only). Make checks payable to: Department of the InteriorBLM. We cannot accept cash. If a check you have sent to us in the past has been returned for insufficient
funds, we may ask that you give us a guaranteed payment, such as a certified check. If you pay by credit card
and the transaction is refused, we will try to notify you early enough so that you can make other payment
arrangements. However, we cannot grant you any extension of time to pay the money that is due the day of the
sale.
• Bid form: On the day of the sale, if you are a successful bidder, you must give us a properly completed and
signed competitive bid form (Form 3000-2, July 1991, or later edition) with your payment. This form is a legally
binding offer by the prospective lessee to accept a lease and all its terms and conditions. Once the form is
signed, you cannot change it. We will not accept any bid form that has information crossed out or is otherwise
altered.
Attachment 1-2
We recommend you get a copy of the bid form and complete all but the money part before the sale. You can fill out
the money part at the sale. Your completed bid form certifies that:
(1) You and the prospective lessee are qualified to hold an oil and gas lease under our regulations at 43 CFR 3102.5­
2; and
(2) You have complied with 18 U.S.C. 1860, a law that prohibits unlawful combinations, intimidation of, and
collusion among bidders.
• Lease Issuance: After we receive the bid form and all the money due, we can issue the lease. Usually, a lease is
ib-or-2004-087-Attachment 1
effective the first day of the month following the month in which we sign it. If you want your lease to be
effective the first day of the month in which we sign it, you must ask us in writing to do this. We have to
receive your request before we sign the lease.
• Lease terms: A lease issued as a result of this sale will have a primary term of 10 years. It will continue beyond
its primary term as long as oil or gas in paying quantities is produced on or for the benefit of the lease. Rental at
$1.50 per acre for the first 5 years ($2 per acre after that) is due on or before the anniversary date each year until
production begins. Once a lease is producing, you must pay a royalty of 12.5 percent on the production. You
will find other lease terms on our standard lease form (Form 3100-11, October 1992 or later edition).
• Stipulations: Some parcels have special requirements or restrictions which are called stipulations. These are
included with the parcel descriptions. Stipulations are part of the lease and supercede any inconsistent provisions
of the lease form.
How do I file a noncompetitive offer after the sale?
Lands that do not receive a bid are available on a first-come, first-served basis for a two-year period, beginning the day
after the sale. If you want to file a noncompetitive offer on an unsold parcel, you must give us­
• An Offer to Lease Form properly completed and signed. (Note: You may copy the lease form, but you must
copy both sides on one page. If you copy the form on 2 pages or use an obsolete lease form, we will reject
your offer. Any copy you make should be legible.) Describe the lands in your offer as specified in our
regulations at 43 CFR 3110.5, and;
• Your payment for the total of the $75 filing fee and the advanced first year’s rental ($1.50 per acre). Remember
to round up any fractional acreage when you calculate the amount of rental.
You may submit your offer the day of the sale after the sale is closed. However, we consider all offers filed the day
of a sale and the first business day after it, for any of the unsold parcels, filed at the same time. If a parcel receives
more than one offer, we will hold a drawing to pick the winner. A presale offer has priority over any offer filed after
the sale. There were no presale offers filed for the lands in this notice.
How do I file a noncompetitive presale offer?
Under our regulations at 43 CFR 3110.1(a), you may file a noncompetitive presale offer for lands that­
• Are available, and;
• Have not been under lease during the previous one-year period, or;
• Have not been included in a competitive lease sale within the previous two-year period.
Attachment 1-3
If we do not receive a bid for the parcel that contains the lands in your offer, it has priority over any offer for that
parcel filed after the sale. Your presale offer is your consent to the terms and conditions of the lease, including any
additional stipulations. If you want to file a presale offer, follow the directions listed for filing a noncompetitive offer
after the sale.
How can I find out the results of this sale?
We will post the sale results in the Oregon State Office Land Office (Public Room), and on our website. You can buy
($5) a printed copy of the results list from the Land Office.

BOTANICAL
All surface disturbing activities are limited to existing roads, until a botanical field inventory of the proposed area of disturbance has been
completed. This field survey must be completed during the appropriate season (April 15 through May 31) for the identification of special status
plants. If special status species or plant community values are found, the Authorized Officer may determine not to allow activities if they adversely
affect the botanical resources.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
Controlled surface use (CSU) or occupancy is restricted to existing roads and trails until the BLM has consulted with interested Native American
Tribes, the State Historic Preservation Office and, where applicable, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. The following parcels are
known to contain cultural resources potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. A cultural resources inventory may be required
for the area of potential effect prior to project implementation. Proposed operations may need to be redesigned, or may not be authorized if
activities would result in adverse impacts to cultural resources.
