Notice of Realty Action: Application for Recordable Disclaimer of
Interest; Oregon
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Port of Cascade Locks has filed an application with the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requesting a Recordable Disclaimer of
Interest from the United States for the property the Port has acquired
from Hood River County, Oregon. The nature of the cloud on the title
the applicant wishes to resolve is a recorded Disclaimer issued by the
Department of the Interior General Land Office for the subject land in
1920. Issuance of this recordable disclaimer of interest would remove a
cloud on the title to the land.
DATES: Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the
Recordable Disclaimer of Interest on or before November 16, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Mail all written comments to Cathie Jensen, Acting Chief,
Branch of Land, Mineral, and Energy Resources, BLM, Oregon State
Office, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208. Only written comments
submitted via the U.S. Postal Service or other delivery service, or
hand delivered to the BLM State Office, will be considered properly
filed. Electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone comments will not be
considered properly filed.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jenny Liang, Land Law Examiner, (503)
808-6299. Additional information pertaining to this application can be
reviewed in case file OR-66335 located in the BLM Oregon State Office
at the above address.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Section 315 of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1745), and the regulations
contained in 43 CFR subpart 1864, the Port of Cascade Locks filed an
application for a Recordable Disclaimer of Interest for a portion of
lands described as follows:
Willamette Meridian
T. 3 N., R. 8 E.,
sec. 33, SE\1/4\;SE\1/4\;, that portion lying north of The Dalles-
Sandy Wagon Road.
The parcel described contains 22.5 acres, more or less, in Hood
River County, Oregon.
The subject land was mentioned in a 1920 recorded Disclaimer issued
by the Department of the Interior, General Land Office. The Disclaimer
stated that the United States does not claim any right, title or
interest in or to the subject land under the attempted reconveyances,
or based on the rejection of a Forest Lieu Selection. Since the 1920
Disclaimer did not cite to an authority for issuance of said document
the title company would not recognize the Disclaimer. A valid
disclaimer, if issued, will confirm that the United States has no valid
interest in the subject land.
The United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service is
anticipating exchanging lands with the Port pursuant to Section 1206(b)
of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (123 Stat. 1019), and
the subject land must be in an insurable condition. The United States
has no claim to or interest in the land described and issuance of a
Recordable Disclaimer would remove a cloud on the title to the land and
a potential barrier to the exchange.
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will
be available for public review at the BLM Oregon State Office at the
address above, during regular business hours, Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. Before including your address, phone number,
e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including your
personal identifying information--may be made publicly available at any
time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM Oregon State
Director. In the absence of any adverse comments, a Disclaimer of
Interest may be approved stating that the United States does not have a
valid interest in the described land.
Authority: 43 CFR subpart 1864.2(a)
Cathie Jensen,
Acting Chief, Branch of Land, Mineral, and Energy Resources.
