Conveyance of Mineral Interests in California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of segregation.

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

SUMMARY: The private land described in this notice, aggregating 76.64 
acres, is segregated and made unavailable for filings under the general 
mining laws and the mineral leasing laws to determine its 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 interests 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 non-mineral development and such development is a 
more beneficial use of the land than the mineral development.
