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

SUMMARY: The surface owner of the land described in this notice, 
aggregating approximately 260 acres, has filed an application for the 
purchase of the Federally-owned mineral interests. Publication of this 
notice temporarily segregates the mineral interest from appropriation 
under the public land laws, including the mining laws.

DATES: Interested persons may submit written comments to the Bureau of 
Land Management (BLM) at the address stated below. Comments must be 
received no later than October 4, 2007.

ADDRESS: Bureau of Land Management, Phoenix District, 21605 North 7th 
Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85027. Detailed information concerning this 
action is available for review at the above address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Magaletti, Lands and Realty 
Specialist, at the above address, or at 623-580-5590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The surface owner of the following described 
land 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 land:

Gila and Salt River Meridian

T. 4 N., R. 2 E.
    Sec. 10, SE\1/4\;
    Sec. 11, NW\1/4\SW\1/4\, SW\1/4\NE\1/4\SW\1/4\, and E\1/2\NE\1/
4\SW\1/4\;
    Sec. 14, E\1/2\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\ and NE\1/4\NW\1/4\SW\1/4\.
    The area described contains 260 more or less, in Pima County.

    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 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 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 
the above mentioned address.

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

Teresa A. Raml,
Phoenix District Manager.
