SUMMARY: This notice terminates, N-60870, a segregation of public lands

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 17, 1996, 160 acres, more or less, of
public lands were segregated from entry under the general mining laws
and all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, except for
exchange purposes. Pursuant to the regulations contained in 43 CFR
2091.3-2(b) the segregation is hereby terminated as it affects the
following described lands:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 24 S., R. 57 E.,
Sec. 27, S\1/2\NW\1/4\, N\1/2\SW\1/4\.
The area described contains 160 acres, more or less.
Upon publication, the above described lands will become open to the
operation of the public land laws, subject to valid existing rights,
the provisions of existing withdrawals, other segregations of record,
and the requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Upon publication, the above described lands will become open to
location under the United States mining laws. Appropriation of the land
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, 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.
