Publication of this notice temporarily segregates the mineral interest 
from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining

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 of the Federally owned mineral interest in the lands:

Salt Lake Base and Meridian, Salt Lake County, Utah
T. 4 S., R 3 W.,
    Section 11; Lots 7, 8, 16-18, SE\1/4\SE\1/4\;
    Section 12; Lots 7, 10, 11, S\1/2\SW\1/4\;
    Section 13; Lots 2, 3, NW\1/4\, N\1/2\SW\1/4\, S\1/2\SE\1/4\;
    Section 14; Lots 7-12, NE\1/4\NE\1/4\;
    Section 24; Lots 5-10.

    The BLM will process the pending application in accordance with the 
regulations in 43 CFR part 2720. The regulations provide for the 
purchase of the Federally owned mineral interest to consolidate the 
surface and subsurface mineral ownership in cases 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.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register and subject 
to valid and existing rights, the mineral interests owned by the United 
State in the private lands covered by the application shall 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: (1) Issuance of a patent or deed of such 
mineral interest; (2) upon final rejection of the mineral conveyance 
application; or (3) two years from the date of publication of this 
notice, whichever occurs first.

    Dated: October 2, 2008.
Donald R. Banks,
State Director, Acting.
