    Sec. 1, W\1/2\SW\1/4\;
    Sec. 2, lots 2 to 4, inclusive, SW\1/4\NE\1/4\, S\1/2\NW\1/4\, 
SW\1/4\, and N\1/2\SE\1/4\;

    The area described contains 1,148.68 acres in Santa Clara 
County.

    Under certain conditions, Section 209(b) of the Federal Land Policy 
and Management Act of October 21, 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1719 (FLPMA) 
authorizes the sale and conveyance of the federally owned mineral 
interests in land when the non-mineral (or so called surface interest 
in land) is not federally owned. The objective is to allow 
consolidation of the surface and mineral interests when either one of 
the following conditions exist: (1) There are no known mineral values 
in the land; or (2) where continued Federal ownership of the mineral 
interests interferes with or precludes appropriate non-mineral 
development and such development is a more beneficial use of the land 
than mineral development.
    An application was filed for the sale and conveyance of the 
federally owned mineral interests in the above-described tract of land. 
Subject to valid existing rights, on October 5, 2012 the federally 
owned mineral interests in the land described above are hereby 
segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the mining laws, while the application is being processed to 
determine if either one of the two specified conditions exists and, if 
so, to otherwise comply with the procedural requirements of 43 CFR part 
2720. The temporary segregative effect shall terminate: (1) Upon 
issuance of a patent or other document of conveyance as to such mineral 
interests; (2) Upon final rejection of the application; or (3) Two 
years after the date that the application was filed, whichever occurs 
first.

    Authority:  43 CFR 2720.1-1(b).

Associate Deputy State Director, Natural Resources.
