Notice of Realty Action: Application for Segregation and 
Conveyance of Federally Owned Mineral Interests in Adams County, IL

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is processing an 
application under the Federal Land Policy Management Act of October 21, 
1976 (FLPMA), to convey the 50 percent undivided mineral interest owned 
by the United States in 39 acres located in Adams County, Illinois, to 
surface owner, Marilyn Shriver and Sons. Upon publication of this 
notice, the BLM is temporarily segregating the federally owned mineral 
interests in the land covered by the application from all forms of 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, 
for up to 2 years while the BLM processes the application. If the 
application meets the requirements in the statute and the regulation, 
the BLM may convey the United States' entire 50 percent interest in the 
minerals within the tract.

DATES: Interested persons may submit written comments to the BLM at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The federally owned mineral interest 
segregated by this Notice is located in Adams County, Illinois, in a 
parcel described as follows:

    TRACT II, as described in the Warranty Deed to Marilyn Shriver 
and Sons, dated December 13, 2007.

Fourth Principal Meridian, Illinois

T. 1 N., R. 8 W.,
    Sec. 19, a portion of SW\1/4\NE\1/4\.

    The area described contains 39 acres.

    Under certain conditions, Section 209(b) of FLPMA authorizes the 
sale and conveyance of the federally owned mineral interests in land to 
the current surface owner. The applicant has deposited, as required 
under Section 209(3)(i) of FLPMA, a sum of money determined sufficient 
to cover administrative costs, but not limited to, the cost for the 
Mineral Potential Report. 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. Marilyn Shriver and Sons, the surface owner, filed an 
application for the conveyance of federally owned mineral interests in 
the above-described tract of land. Subject to valid existing rights, on 
November 12, 2014 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 segregation shall 
terminate upon: (1) Issuance of a patent or other document of 
conveyance as to such mineral interests; (2) Final rejection of the 
application; or (3) On November 14, 2016, whichever occurs first. 
Please submit all comments in writing to the individuals at the address 
listed above.
    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment, including your personal identifying 
information, may be made available to the public at any time. While you 
can ask in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2720.1-1(b).

Director, Eastern States Office.
