Notice of Receipt of Conveyance of Mineral Interest Application

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of minerals segregation.

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

SUMMARY: The reserved Federally-owned mineral interest, in the private 
lands described in this notice, aggregating approximately 4,000 acres, 
are segregated and made unavailable for filings under the general 
mining laws and the mineral leasing laws. The segregation is in 
response to an application for mineral conveyance under section 209 of 
the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (43 
U.S.C. 1719).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vivian Titus, Land Law Examiner, 
Arizona State Office, 222 N. Central Ave., Phoenix, Arizona 85004,

    The reserved Federal mineral interests will be conveyed in whole or 
in part upon completion of a mineral examination. The purpose is to 
allow consolidation of surface and subsurface minerals ownership where 
there are no known mineral values or in those instances where the 
Federal mineral interest 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 lands covered by the mineral conveyance 
application are segregated to the extent that they will not be subject 
to appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining and 
mineral leasing laws. The segregative effect shall terminate upon: 
issuance of a patent or deed of such mineral interest; upon final 
rejection of the mineral conveyance application; or October 11, 2005, 
whichever occurs first.

    Dated: September 17, 2003.
Carl Rountree,
Associate State Director.
