The timing for completion of an
exchange is the bidder’s responsibility.
The BLM cannot be a party to any 1031
Exchange.
In accordance with 43 CFR 2711.3–
1(f), the BLM may accept or reject any
or all offers to purchase, or withdraw
any parcel of land or interest therein
from sale, if, in the opinion of a BLM
authorized officer, consummation of the
sale would be inconsistent with any
law, or for other reasons as may be
provided by applicable law or
regulations.
Upon publication of this notice and
until completion of the sale, the BLM is
no longer accepting land use
applications affecting the parcel
identified for sale. However, land use
applications may be considered after the
date of the auction offering if the parcel
is not sold. Encumbrances of record that
may appear in the BLM public files for
the parcel proposed for sale are
available for review during business
hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Pacific
Time, Monday through Friday, at the
BLM Las Vegas Field Office, except
during federally recognized holidays.
In order to determine the FMV
through appraisal, certain extraordinary
assumptions and hypothetical
conditions may have been made
concerning the attributes and
limitations of the lands and potential
effects of local regulations and policies
on potential future land uses. Through
publication of this notice, the BLM
advises that these assumptions may not
be endorsed or approved by units of
local government. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to be aware of all
applicable Federal, State, and local
government laws, regulations and
policies that may affect the subject
lands, including any required
dedication of lands for public uses. It is
also the buyer’s responsibility to be
aware of existing or prospective uses of
nearby properties. When conveyed out
of Federal ownership, the lands will be
subject to any applicable laws,
regulations, and policies of the
applicable local government for
proposed future uses. It will be the
responsibility of the purchaser to be
aware through due diligence of those
laws, regulations, and policies, and to
seek any required local approvals for
future uses. Buyers should also make
themselves aware of any Federal or
State law or regulation that may impact
the future use of the property. 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.

appraisals, reservations, procedures and

conditions, CERCLA, and other
environmental documents are available
for review at the BLM Las Vegas Field
Office at the address in the ADDRESSES
section.
Any adverse comments regarding the
proposed sale will be reviewed by the
BLM Nevada State Director or other
authorized official of the Department of
the Interior who may sustain, vacate, or
modify this realty action. In the absence
of any adverse comments, this realty
action will become the final
determination of the Department of the
Interior.
