simultaneously with the sale of the surface estate. Acceptance of the
sale offer will constitute an application to purchase the mineral
estate having no known value. A non-refundable fee of $50.00 will be
required with the purchase money. Failure to submit the purchase money
and the non-refundable filing fee for the mineral estate within the
time frame specified by the authorized officer will result in
cancellation of the sale.
Upon publication of this Notice of Realty Action in the Federal
Register, the lands will be segregated from all forms of appropriation
under the public

shall terminate upon issuance of a patent or other document of
conveyance, upon publication in the Federal Register of a Notice of
Termination of Segregation, or 270 days from date of this publication,
which ever occurs first.
The patent, when issued, will contain the following reservations to

description of this reservation, which will be included in the patent
