A sale of mineral materials counts as one where competition is impracticable
What the document says“it shall be considered impracticable to obtain competition for purposes of section 3602.31(a)(2) of title 43, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on the date of the enactment of the Apex Area Technical Corrections Act)”
Added to section 4(e) of the 1989 Act as paragraph (3). The paragraph opens by naming what it covers: the sale of mineral materials resulting from grading, land balancing, or other activities on the surface of a parcel within the Apex Site for which the United States retains an interest in the minerals. For such a sale, subparagraph (A) fixes the answer to one question, whether competition is practicable, under section 3602.31(a)(2) of title 43, Code of Federal Regulations, as that regulation stood on the date this Act was enacted. This Act does not state what that regulation provides.
What the document actually says“it shall be considered impracticable to obtain competition for purposes of section 3602.31(a)(2) of title 43, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on the date of the enactment of the Apex Area Technical Corrections Act)”
One rule in a book of federal rules asks if bidding can be had. For these sales the answer is set. It counts as a sale where bidding cannot be had.
Grading and land work can turn up sand, gravel, or rock. This covers the sale of that. It covers land at Apex where the United States still owns what is under the ground. The rule named sits in title 43 of that book.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
