SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The tract of land referred to in this notice consists of 459.6 acres, situated in Pinal County, Arizona, and is described as follows:
Gila and Salt River Base and Meridian
T. 8 S., R. 10 E.,
Sec. 35, lots 1 to 4, inclusive, E 1⁄2 W 1⁄2 NW 1⁄4 , N 1⁄2 S 1⁄2 , NE 1⁄4 NW 1⁄4 , S 1⁄2 NE 1⁄4 , and SE 1⁄4 NW 1⁄4 .
The area described contains 459.60 acres in Pinal County.
Under certain conditions, Section 209(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1719 authorizes the sale and conveyance of the federally owned mineral interests in land when the surface estate 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 December 28, 2011 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 segregative effect 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 December 30, 2013, whichever occurs first.
