philosophy of Zone 5 is to allow 

disposal of public lands through sale or 

exchange. Sales to private land owners 

will only be allowed if the tracts are 

small, isolated parcels generally left 

from mining patents or a resurvey by the 

USDI cadastral survey. Conveyance of 

the identified public land will be 

subject to valid existing rights and 

encumbrances of record, including but 

not limited to, rights-of-way for roads 

and public utilities. Conveyance of any 

mineral interests pursuant to Section 

209 of the FLPMA will be analyzed 

during processing of the proposed direct 

sale. 

On January 16, 2009 the abovedescribed land will be segregated from 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the mining laws, except 

the sale provisions of the FLPMA. Until 

completion of the sale, the BLM is no 

longer accepting land use applications 

affecting the identified public land, 

except applications for the amendment 

of previously-filed right-of-way 

applications or existing authorizations 

to increase the term of the grants in 

accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 and 

2886.15. The segregative effect will 

terminate upon issuance of a patent, 

publication in the Federal Register of a 

termination of the segregation, or 

January 18, 2011 unless extended by the 

BLM State Director in accordance with 

43 CFR 2711.1–2(d) prior to the 

termination date.
