    Effective immediately, 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 no later than the 
date specified above in this notice for that purpose. 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 August 20, 2007, the mineral interests owned by the United 
States in the above described land 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 August 19, 2009, 
whichever occurs first.
    Comments: Comments, including names, street addresses, and other 
contact information of respondents, will be available for public 
review. Before including your address, telephone number, e-mail 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you 
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal 
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time. 
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so. All persons who wish to present comments, 
suggestions, or objections in connection with the pending application 
may do so by writing to Teresa A. Raml, Phoenix District Manager, at
