    The 1993 BLM Redding Resource Management Plan, as amended, 
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 December 15, 2008, the above-described land will be segregated 
from appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining 
laws, except the sale provisions of FLPMA. Until completion of the 
sale, the BLM is no longer accepting land use applications affecting 
the identified public land, except 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 December 15, 2010, unless extended by the BLM State 
Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) prior to the termination 
date.
