Interests, Madera County, CA

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.

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

SUMMARY: This publication supersedes in its entirety the previous 
publication dated October 18, 2007, found on page 59110, Volume 72, 
Number 201.
    The surface owner of the lands described in this notice, 
aggregating approximately 25 acres, has filed an application for the 
purchase of the Federally-owned mineral interests in the lands. 
Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the mineral interest 
from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining 
law.

DATES: Interested persons may submit written communication to the 
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at the address stated below. Comments 
must be received no later than December 17, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Bureau of Land Management, 2800 Cottage Way, Sacramento, CA 
95825. Detailed information concerning this action is available for 
review at the above address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Gary, Land Law Examiner, at the 
above address, or 916-978-4677.

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:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Madera County, California

T. 9 S., R. 22 E., Sec. 6, described as follows:

    ``All coal and other minerals within that portion of Parcel 2 of 
Parcel Map 2415 recorded October 24, 1985 in the office of the 
County Recorder, County of Madera, State of California, in Book 31, 
of Maps, at Page 173, that is within a portion of Lot 3 of Section 
6, T. 9 S., R. 22 E., Mount Diablo Base and Meridian, according to 
the official plat thereof, as reserved in patent number 1096001 
dated March 11, 1938, together with the right to prospect for, mine, 
and remove the same pursuant to the provisions and limitations of 
the Act of December 29, 1916 (39 Stat., 862). Containing 25 acres, 
more or less.''

    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 non-mineral 
development and such development is a more beneficial use of the land 
than the mineral development.
    On December 17, 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 patent or deed of such mineral interest; upon final 
rejection of the mineral conveyance application; or 2 years from the 
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, 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 Robert M. Doyel, Chief, Branch of Lands 
Management, at the above mentioned address.

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

    Dated : October 25, 2007.
Robert M. Doyel,
Chief, Branch of Lands Management.
