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.
