    SUMMARY: This order revokes a Public Land Order insofar as it affects 
    approximately 126 acres of National Forest System lands withdrawn for 
    use by the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, for the Harriet 
    Hunt and White River Recreation Areas. The lands are no longer needed 
    for the purpose for which they were withdrawn. This action will open 
    the lands to such forms of disposition as may by law be made of 
    National Forest System lands, including location and entry under the 
    United States mining laws.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: May 12, 1994.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Sue A. Wolf, BLM Alaska State Office, 222 W. 7th Avenue, No. 13, 
    Anchorage, Alaska 99513-7599, 907-271-5477.
        By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior 
    by Section 204 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 
    43 U.S.C. 1714 (1988), it is ordered as follows:
        1. Public Land Order No. 4825, which withdrew National Forest 
    System lands for public recreation areas, is hereby revoked insofar as 
    it affects the following described lands:
    
    Copper River Meridian
    
    Tongass National Forest
    
    Harriet Hunt Recreation Area
    
        Beginning at the witness corner to the meander corner of Secs. 3 
    and 34, Tps. 73 and 74 S., R. 91 E. (partially surveyed), proceed 
    East 13.5 chains to corner No. 1, the true point of beginning;
    
    Thence North 20 chains to corner No. 2;
    Thence West 40 chains to corner No. 3;
    Thence North 13 chains to corner No. 4;
    Thence East 55 chains to corner No. 5;
    Thence South 33 chains to corner No. 6;
    Thence West 15 chains to corner No. 1, the true point of beginning.
    
        The area described contains approximately 121 acres.
    
    White River Recreation Area
    
        Beginning at the quarter section corner of Secs. 15 and 16, Tp. 
    74 S., R. 91 E. (partially surveyed), proceed North 28 chains to 
    corner No. 1, the true point of beginning;
    
    Thence North 11 chains to corner No. 2, a point common to Secs. 9, 
    10, 15, and 16;
    Thence East 11 chains along the section line common to Secs. 10 and 
    15 to corner No. 3;
    Thence S. 46 deg.3' W. 15.56 chains more or less back to corner No. 
    1, the true point of beginning.
    
        The area described contains approximately 5 acres.
        The total areas affected by this order aggregate approximately 
    126 acres.
    
        2. At 10 a.m. on June 13, 1994, the lands will be opened to such 
    forms of disposition as may by law be made of National Forest System 
    lands, including location and entry under the United States mining 
    laws, subject to valid existing rights, the provisions of existing 
    withdrawals, other segregations of record, and the requirements of 
    applicable law. Appropriation of any of the lands described in this 
    order under the general mining laws prior to the date and time of 
    restoration is unauthorized. Any such attempted appropriation, 
    including attempted adverse possession under 30 U.S.C. 38 (1988), shall 
    vest no rights against the United States. Acts required to establish a 
    location and to initiate a right of possession are governed by State 
    law where not in conflict with Federal law. The Bureau of Land 
    Management will not intervene in disputes between rival locators over 
    possessory rights since Congress has provided for such determinations 
    in local courts.
    
        Dated: April 22, 1994.
    
    Bob Armstrong,
    
    Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
