AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of realty action.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The surface owner of the land described in this notice,
aggregating approximately 40 acres, has filed an application for the
purchase of the federally-owned mineral interests. Publication of this
notice temporarily segregates the mineral interest from appropriation
under the public land laws, including the mining laws.
DATES: Interested persons may submit written comments to the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) at the address stated below. Comments must be
received no later than October 4, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Bureau of Land Management, Phoenix District, 21605 North 7th
Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85027. Detailed information concerning this
action is available for review at the above address.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Magaletti, Lands and Realty
Specialist, at the above address, or at 623-580-5590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The surface owner of the following described
land 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 and conveyance of the Federally-owned mineral interest in the
following described land:
Gila and Salt River Meridian
T. 4 N., R. 2 E.,
Sec. 14, NW\1/4\NW\1/4\.
The area described contains 40 more or less, in Pima County.
Effective immediately, BLM will process the pending application in
accordance with the regulations stated in 43 CFR Part 2720. Written
comments concerning the application must be received no later than the
date specified above in this notice for that purpose. The purpose for a
purchase and conveyance is to allow consolidation of surface and
subsurface minerals ownership where (1) There are no known mineral
values, or (2) in those instances where the Federal mineral interest
reservation interferes with or precludes appropriate nonmineral
development and such development is a more beneficial use of the land
than the mineral development.
On August 20, 2007 the mineral interests owned by the United States
in the above described land will 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
issuance of a patent or deed of such mineral interest; upon final
rejection of the mineral conveyance application; or August 20, 2009,
whichever occurs first.
Comments: Comments, including names, street addresses, and other
contact information of respondents, will be available for public
review. Before including your address, telephone number, e-mail
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal

While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so. All persons who wish to present comments,
suggestions, or objections in connection with the pending application
may do so by writing to Teresa A. Raml, Phoenix District
