Notice of Receipt of Conveyance of Mineral Interest Application

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Minerals Segregation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The private lands described in this notice aggregating 
approximately 950 acres, are segregated and made unavailable for 
filings under the general mining laws and the mineral leasing laws to 
determine their suitability for conveyance of the reserved mineral 
interest pursuant to section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of October 21, 1976.
    The mineral interest will be conveyed in whole or in part upon 
favorable mineral examination.
    The purpose is to allow consolidation of surface and subsurface of 
minerals ownership where there are no known mineral values or in those 
instances where the reservation interferes with or precludes 
appropriate nonmineral development and such development is a more 
beneficial use of the land than the mineral development.

    Upon publication of this Notice of Segregation in the Federal 
Register as provided in 43 CFR 2720.1-1(b), the mineral interests owned 
by the United States in the private lands covered by the application 
shall be segregated to the extent that they will not be subject to 
appropriation under the mining and mineral leasing laws. The

a patent or deed of such mineral interest; upon final rejection of the 
application; or two years from the date of publication of this notice, 
whichever occurs first.

    Dated: March 28, 2001.
