Sec. 2641.3  Publication and payment.

    (a) Prior to issuance of a conveyance document, the authorized 
officer shall publish a notice of realty action in the Federal Register 
and in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the lands to be 
conveyed. The notice shall identify the lands proposed for conveyance 
and contain the terms, covenants, conditions and reservations to be 
included in the conveyance document. The notice shall provide public 
comment period of 45 days from the date of publication in the Federal 
Register. Comments shall be sent to the Bureau of Land Management office 
issuing the notice.
    (b) The notice of realty action may segregate the lands or interests 
in lands to be conveyed to the extent that they will not be subject to 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws. The 
segregative effect of the notice of realty action shall terminate either 
upon the issuance of a document of conveyance or 1 year after the date 
of publication, whichever occurs first.
    (c) The determination concerning the granting or denial of an 
application shall be sent by the authorized officer to the applicant and 
to any party who commented on the application.
    (d) The authorized officer shall advise the applicant whether any 
balance is due on the payments required of the applicant and of the time 
within which payment shall be made. Failure to pay the required amount 
within the allotted time shall constitute grounds for rejection of the 
application. If the applicant has deposited with the authorized officer 
an amount in excess of the payments required, the authorized officer 
shall so advise the applicant and return the excess payment.
