The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The lease and

On August 18, 2008, the land described above will be segregated
from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws,
including the general mining laws, except for conveyance under the R&PP
Act, leasing under the mineral leasing laws, and disposals under the
