Notice of Application for Recordable Disclaimer of Interest in 
Lands; Searcy County, Arkansas

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: An application has been filed with the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) by Robert G. Hooper for a Recordable Disclaimer of 
Interest from the United States for certain land in Searcy County, 
Arkansas. This notice is intended to inform the public of the pending 
application.

DATES: Comments on this action should be received by August 7, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Comments must be filed with Steven R. Wells, Deputy State 
Director, Division of Natural Resources, BLM--Eastern States, 7450 
Boston Boulevard, Springfield, Virginia 22153.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ida V. Doup, Chief, Branch of Lands 
and Realty, at the above stated address or at 703-440-1541.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Section 315 of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1745), the surface owner, 
Robert G. Hooper, filed an application for a Disclaimer of Interest for 
the land described as follows:

Fifth Principal Meridian

T. 16 N., R. 17 W.,
    Sec. 1, NE\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 43.57 acres, more or less, in Searcy 
County. The BLM--Eastern States' review of the land status records 
indicates that a patent was issued to R.B. Weaver, E.S. Weaver, R.F. 
King, H.C. King, and R.D. Ailly for the Eureka Placer Mine, Buffalo 
District, Final Certificate Number 24, dated November 28, 1893. A copy 
of the land patent certificate cannot be located. All available land 
status records indicate a patent has been issued and title has 
transferred into private ownership. It is the opinion of this office 
that the Federal Government no longer has an interest in this 43.57-
acre tract. Robert G. Hooper, surface owner, is seeking to clear title 
to demonstrate that the United States has transferred ownership to the 
original patentee.
    All persons who wish to present comments, suggestions, or 
objections in connection with the pending application and proposed 
disclaimer may do so by writing to Stephen R. Wells, Deputy Assistant 
Director, Division of Natural Resources at the above address. Comments, 
including names and street addresses of commentors, will be available 
for public review at the BLM-Eastern States Office (see address above), 
during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, except holidays. 
Before including your address, phone 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.
    If no valid objection is received, this action will be approved and 
will clear a cloud on the title by stating that the United States does 
not have a valid interest in this land.

    Authority: 43 CFR 1864.2(a).

Terry Lewis,
Acting State Director, Eastern States.
