Sec. 2711.5  Conveyance documents.

    Patents and other conveyance documents issued under this part shall 
contain a reservation to the United States of all minerals. Such 
minerals shall be subject to the right to explore, prospect for, mine, 
and remove under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary 
may prescribe. However, upon the filing of an application as provided in 
part 2720 of this title, the Secretary may convey the mineral interest 
if all requirements of the law are met. Where such application has been 
filed and meets the requirements for conveyance, the authorized officer 
may withhold issuance of a patent or other document of conveyance on 
lands sold under this part until processing of the mineral conveyance 
application is completed, at which time a single patent or document of 
conveyance for the entire estate or interest of the United States may be 
issued.
