ADDRESSES: Bureau of Land Management, Arizona State Office, One North 
Central Avenue, Suite 800, Phoenix, Arizona 85004. Detailed information 
concerning this action, including appropriate environmental 
information, is available for review at the above address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vivian Titus, Land Law Examiner, at 
the above address or at 602-417-9598.

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, Pima County, Arizona

T. 20 S., R. 10 E.,
    Sec. 9, E\1/2\E\1/2\;
    Sec. 10, NE\1/4\NE\1/4\, SW\1/4\NW\1/4\, W\1/2\SW\1/4\.

    Total Acres 320.00 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 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 27, 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 27, 2009, 
whichever occurs first.

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

    Dated: August 20, 2007.
