SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

surface owner of the following 

described lands has filed an application 

pursuant to Section 209 of the Federal 

Land Policy and Management Act of 

1976 (43 U.S.C. 1719(b)), for the 

purchase of the Federally owned 

mineral interest in the lands: 

Salt Lake Base and Meridian, Salt Lake 

County, Utah 

T. 4 S., R 3 W., 

Section 11; Lots 7, 8, 16–18, SE1⁄4SE1⁄4; 

Section 12; Lots 7, 10, 11, S1⁄2SW1⁄4; 

Section 13; Lots 2, 3, NW1⁄4, N1⁄2SW1⁄4, 

S1⁄2SE1⁄4; 

Section 14; Lots 7–12, NE1⁄4NE1⁄4; 

Section 24; Lots 5–10. 

The BLM will process the pending 

application in accordance with the 

regulations in 43 CFR part 2720. The 

regulations provide for the purchase of 

the Federally owned mineral interest to 

consolidate the surface and subsurface 

mineral ownership in cases where (1) 

there are no known mineral values, or 

(2) in those instances where the Federal 

mineral interest reservation interferes 

with or precludes appropriate nonmineral development and such 

development is a more beneficial use of 

the land than the mineral development. 

Upon publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register and subject to valid 

and existing rights, the mineral interests 

owned by the United State in the private 

lands covered by the application shall 

be segregated to the extent that they will 

not be subject to appropriation under 

the public land laws, including the 

mining laws. The segregative effect shall 

terminate upon: (1) Issuance of a patent 

or deed of such mineral interest; (2) 

upon final rejection of the mineral 

conveyance application; or (3) two years 

from the date of publication of this 

notice, whichever occurs first. 

Dated: October 2, 2008.
