    SUMMARY: This notice terminates, in its entirety, the classification, 
    dated April 9, 1976, which classified public land for lease for 
    recreation and public purposes pursuant to the Recreation and Public 
    Purposes Act of June 14, 1926, as amended (43 U.S.C 869 et seq.). The 
    land will be opened to the operation of the public land laws including 
    the mining laws, subject to valid existing rights, the provisions of 
    existing withdrawals, other segregations of record, and the 
    requirements of applicable law. The land has been and remain open to 
    the operation of the mineral leasing laws. The termination is necessary 
    to facilitate the completion of a pending land exchange.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: June 9, 1998.

        On April 9, 1976, the public land, as described above, was 
    classified as suitable for lease under the Act of June 14, 1926, as 
    amended (43 U.S.C 869 et seq.) The land was segregated from all
    
    [[Page 31519]]
    
    appropriation under the public land laws, including mineral location 
    under the general mining laws. The land has been and will remain open 
    to the mineral leasing laws.
        2. Pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 
    as amended (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and the regulations contained in 
    43 CFR 2091.7-1(b)(1)(iii), the classification, dated April 9, 1976, 
    which classified the above described public land for lease for 
    recreation and public purposes is hereby terminated in its entirety. 
    The classification no longer serves a needed purpose as to the land 
    described above.
        3. At 10 a.m. on June 9, 1998, the public land, as described above, 
    will be opened to the operation of the public land laws generally, 
    subject to valid existing rights, the provision of existing 
    withdrawals, other segregations of record, and the requirement of 
    applicable law. All valid applications received at or prior to 10 a.m. 
    on June 9, 1998 shall be considered as simultaneously filed at that 
    time. Those received thereafter shall be considered in the order of 
    filing.
        4. At 10 a.m. on June 9, 1998, the public land, as described above, 
    will be opened to 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 land described in this 
    notice 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 (1994), 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 determination in 
    local courts.
    
        Dated: June 2, 1998.
    Al Wright,
    Acting State Director.
