the federally owned mineral interests
proposed for conveyance is identical in
location to the privately owned surface
interest of the applicant, and is
described as follows:
Willamette Meridian, Oregon
T. 25 S., R. 14 E., sec. 25.
The area described contains 640 acres,
according to the official plat of the survey of
the said land, on file with the BLM.
Under certain conditions, section 209(b) of
FLPMA authorizes the 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) The
reservation of the mineral rights in the
United States is interfering with or
precluding appropriate nonmineral
development of the land and such
development is a more beneficial use of the
land than mineral development.
The applicant has deposited a sufficient
sum of funding to cover the administrative
costs of processing the application,
including, but not limited to, the cost of the
mineral potential report.
Subject to valid existing rights, on
February 9, 2024 the federally owned mineral
interests in the land described above is
hereby segregated from all forms of
appropriation under the public land laws,
including the mining laws. The segregative
effect will terminate upon: (1) Issuance of a
patent or other document of conveyance of
the mineral interests; (2) Final rejection of
the application; or (3) February 9, 2026,
whichever occurs first.
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
publicly available at any time. 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.
