    The exact acreage and legal descriptions will be determined by a

    The 1993 Mimbres Resource Management Plan identifies these parcels 
of public land as suitable for disposal. Conveyance of the identified 
public land will be subject to valid existing rights and encumbrances 
of record, including but not limited to, rights-of-way for roads and 
public utilities. Conveyance of any mineral interests pursuant to 
section 209 of FLPMA will be analyzed during processing of the proposed 
sale.
    On November 3, 2008, the above-described land will be segregated 
from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining 
laws and mineral leasing laws, except the sale provisions of the FLPMA. 
Until completion of the sale, the BLM will no longer accept land use 
applications affecting the identified public land, with the exception 
of applications for the amendment of previously filed right-of-way 
applications or existing authorizations to increase the term of the 
grants in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 and 2886.15. The segregative 
effect will terminate upon issuance of a patent, publication in the 
Federal Register of a termination of the segregation, or November 3, 
2010, unless extended by the BLM State Director in accordance with 43 
CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination date.

cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. If you wish to have 
your name or address withheld from public disclosure under the Freedom 
of Information Act, you must state this prominently at the beginning of 
your comments. Any determination by the BLM to release or withhold the 
names or addresses of those who comment will be made on a case-by-case 
basis.
    Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by law. The BLM
