Conveyance of Mineral Interest in New Mexico

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, containing approximately 10.00 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 interests 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon publication of this Notice of 
Segregation in the Federal Register as provided in 43 CFR 2720.1-1(b),

will not be subject to appropriation under the mining and mineral 
leasing laws. The segregative effect of the application shall terminate

rejection of the application; or two years from the date of publication
