SUMMARY: The surface owner of the lands described in this notice,

representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, will be

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, Yavapai County, Arizona

T. 1 S., R. 3 W.,
    Sec. 9, SW\1/4\NE\1/4\, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\, NE\1/4\SW\1/4\, NW\1/
4\SE\1/4\.
    Total Acres 160.00, 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 no later than the 
date specified above in this notice. 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 July 15, 2008 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 July 15, 2010, 
whichever occurs first.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2720.1-1(b).

Teresa A. Raml,
District Manager.
