A Notice of Intent was published July
21, 2011, to amend the BLM Three
Rivers Resource Management Plan
(RMP) for Land Tenure. The 1992 BLM
Three Rivers RMP did not identify this
parcel of public land as suitable for
disposal. However, due to the
topography and land ownership
patterns surrounding the parcel, it is
difficult and uneconomic to manage as
public land. The rim rock that exists
above the parcel essentially cuts it off
from access for management by the
BLM. The Decision Record amending
the BLM Three Rivers RMP for Land
Tenure was signed by the State Director
on November 28, 2011. There were no
protests filed to the Decision Record;
therefore, the Decision became final on
December 28, 2011.
The BLM is proposing a direct sale of
the 5-acre parcel which is the smallest
legal subdivision that would wholly
encompass the improvements that have
been in existence on the parcel since
1902. A direct sale is appropriate
because the current lessees have used/
occupied buildings located on this
parcel. The public interest would be
best served by disposing of this parcel
to the user/occupant by direct sale. The
Federal government would retain the
rights to the minerals. Any patent issued
would be subject to all valid existing
rights of record and contain the
following terms, conditions, and
reservations:
a. A reservation of a right-of-way to
the United States for ditches and canals
constructed by the authority of the
United States under the Act of August
30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
b. The sale would be subject to the
requirements of Section 120(h) of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act, 42 U.S.C. 9620(h); and,

Detailed information concerning the
proposed land sale including the
appraisal, planning and environmental
documents, and mineral report are
available for review at the BLM Burns
District Office at the location identified
in the ADDRESSES section above. Normal
business hours are 7:45 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays.
Public comments regarding the
proposed sale may be submitted in
writing to the BLM Three Rivers
Resource Area Field Manager (see
ADDRESSES section) on or before
August 27, 2012. Comments received by
telephone or in electronic form, such as
email or facsimile, will not be
considered. Any adverse comments
regarding the proposed sale will be
reviewed by the BLM Oregon/
Washington State Director or other
authorized official of the Department of
the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or
modify this realty action in whole or in
part. In the absence of timely filed
objections, this realty action will
become the final determination of the
Department of the Interior not less than
60 days from July 11, 2012.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment; you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your

Determinations made by the Gregg
County Historical Museum
Officials of the Gregg County
Historical Museum have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 1,431 cultural items described above
as unassociated funerary objects are
reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains
at the time of death or later as part of
the death rite or ceremony and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from
specific burial sites of Native American
individuals.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between cultural items and the Caddo
Nation of Oklahoma.

tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with these categories of
funerary objects should contact Neina
Kennedy, Executive Director, Gregg

Determinations made by the Gregg County Historical Museum
Officials of the Gregg County Historical Museum have determined
that:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the 1,431 cultural items
described above as unassociated funerary objects are reasonably
believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at
the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony and
are believed, by a preponderance of the evidence, to have been removed
from specific burial sites of Native American individuals.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between cultural
items and the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with these categories of funerary objects
should contact Neina Kennedy, Executive Director, Gregg County
Historical Museum, 214 N. Fredonia Street, Longview, TX 75601,
telephone (903) 753-5840, before August 10, 2012. Repatriation of these
unassociated funerary objects to the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma may
proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
The Gregg County Historical Museum is responsible for notifying the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma that this notice has been published.
Dated: June 7, 2012.
