ACTION: Notice of mineral conveyance application.

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

SUMMARY: This action informs the public of the receipt of an 
application from Stephen E. Evensen of Murphy, Oregon for conveyance of 
20 acres of federal mineral estate from lands administered by the BLM 
in the Medford District.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 28, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Phyllis Gregory, BLM Oregon/Washington 
State Office, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208, 503-808-6188.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that pursuant to 
Section 209 of the Act of October 21, 1976 (90 Stat. 2757), Stephen E. 
Evensen has filed an application to purchase the Federally-owned 
mineral estate in the land described below:

Willamette Meridian,

T. 37 S., R. 05 W.,
    Sec. 09, W\1/2\NW\1/4\SE\1/4\.

    The area described contains 20 acres, more or less, in Josephine 
County, Oregon. On May 19, 2004, the surface estate was offered to the 
Evensen family following the processing of a class 1 application for 
Color-of-Title (OR-57154). Mr. Evensen desires to acquire the mineral 
estate beneath the 20 acres of BLM administered lands included in the 
color-of-title application to effectively acquire fee title to the 
land. The mineral interests being offered for conveyance have no known 
mineral value.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the 
mineral interest described above will be segregated to the extent that 
it will not be subject to appropriation under the public land laws 
including the mineral laws. The segregative effect of the application 
shall terminate either upon issuance of a patent or other document of 
conveyance to such mineral interests, upon final rejection of the 
application, or two years from the date of filing of the application, 
June 30, 2004, whichever comes first.

(Authority: 43 CFR 2720.1-1(b)).
