SUMMARY: The surface owner of the lands described in this notice,

the purchase of the federally-owned mineral interests in the lands. 
Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the mineral interest

received by no later than January 2, 2007.

to request that the BLM consider withholding your name, street address, 
and other contact information, e.g., Internet address, FAX or phone 
number, from public review of disclosure under the Freedom of 
Information Act, you must state this prominently at the beginning of 
your written comment. The BLM will honor requests for confidentiality 
on a case-by-case basis to the extent allowed by law. The BLM will make 
available for public inspection in their entirety all submissions from 
organizations and businesses, and from individuals identifying 
themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or 
businesses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The surface owner of the following described 
lands has filed an application pursuant to section 209 of the Federal 
Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1719(b), for the 
purchase and conveyance of the Federally-owned mineral interest in the 
following described lands:

Gila and Salt River Base and Meridian, Yavapai County, Arizona.

T. 10 N., R. 4 W.,
    Sec. 20, All.

    Total Acres 640.00 more or less.

    Effective immediately, the BLM will process the pending application 
in accordance with the regulations stated in 43 CFR part 2720. Written 
comments concerning the application must be received by no later than 
the date specified above in this notice. The purpose for a purchase and 
conveyance is to allow consolidation of surface and subsurface minerals 
ownership where (1) there are no known mineral values or (2) 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.
    On November 15, 2006, the mineral interests owned by the United 
States in the above described lands will be segregated to the extent 
that they will not be subject to appropriation under the public land 
laws, including the mining 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 November 17, 2008, 
whichever occurs first.
