The areas described aggregate approximately 80 acres.

Under certain conditions, Section 209(b) of the FLPMA authorizes the conveyance of the federally owned mineral interests in land to the current or prospective surface owner, upon payment of administrative costs and the fair market value of the interest being conveyed. The objective of Section 209 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.

Sahuarita Holdings, LLC, the surface owner filed an application for the conveyance of the federally owned mineral interests in the above-described tracts of land. The applicant has deposited, as required under Section 209(b)(3)(i), a sum of money determined sufficient to cover administrative costs, but not limited to, the cost for the completed Mineral Potential Report. Subject to valid existing rights, on February 12, 2015 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 (3) February 13, 2017, whichever occurs first.
