Conveyance of Mineral Interests in California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of segregation.

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

SUMMARY: The mineral interests owned by the United States in the land 
described in this notice, aggregating 160 acres, are segregated and 
made unavailable for filings under the general mining laws and the 
mineral leasing laws to determine the 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 
may 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.
