Sec. 2612.1  Lists for patents.


    When patents are desired for any lands that have been segregated, 
the State shall file in the BLM State Office a list of lands to be 
patented, with a certificate of the presiding officer of the State land 
board, or other officer of the State who may be charged with the duty of 
disposing of the lands which the State may obtain under the law, that 
the lands have been reclaimed according to the plan of development, so 
that a permanent supply of water has been made available for each tract 
in the list, sufficient to thoroughly reclaim each 160-acre tract for 
the raising of ordinary agricultural crops. If patents are to be issued 
directly to assignees, the list shall include their names, the 
particular lands each claims, and a certification by the State that each 
is an actual settler and has

cultivated at least 20 acres of each 160-acre tract. If there are 
portions which cannot be reclaimed, the nature, extent, location, and 
area of such portions should be fully stated. If less than 5 acres of a 
smallest legal subdivision can be reclaimed and the subdivision is not 
essential for the reclamation, cultivation, or settlement of the lands; 
such legal subdivision must be relinquished, and shall be restored to 
the public domain as provided in a notice published in the Federal 
Register.
