SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM is processing an application under 
section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) to 
convey federally owned mineral interests that total 640 acres situated 
in Lake County, Oregon. The location of 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.
