$50.00 in accordance with 43 CFR Subpart 2720, for conveyance of all 
unreserved mineral interests in the lands.

    The public lands described above shall be segregated from all forms 
of appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, 
upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The 
segregative effect will end upon issuance of the patent or 270 days 
from the date of the publication, whichever comes first.
    For a period of forty-five (45) days from the date of issuance of 
this notice, interested parties may submit comments to the Bureau of 
Land Management, District Manager, Rock Springs, 280 Highway 191 North,
