DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Land Management

43 CFR Public Land Order 7063

[ID-943-406A-02; IDI-08932 01, IDI-14647 01]

 

Partial Revocation of Public Land Order No. 2588 and Bureau of 
Land Management Order Dated January 28, 1952; Idaho

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This order revokes a public land order and a Bureau of Land 
Management order insofar as they affect 2,071.66 acres of public lands 
withdrawn by the Bureau of Reclamation for the Mountain Home and Snake 
River Reclamation Projects. The lands are no longer needed for the 
purpose for which they were withdrawn. This action will open 2,031.66 
acres to surface entry and mining, but the remaining 40 acres are 
overlapped by another withdrawal, and therefore will remain closed to 
agricultural entry and mining. This revocation will permit the disposal 
of the lands by exchange. The lands have been and will remain open to 
mineral leasing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 8, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry R. Lievsay, BLM Idaho State 
Office, 3380 Americana Terrace, Boise, Idaho 83706-2500, 208-384-3166.

entry and mining due to an overlapping withdrawal, but will otherwise 
be opened to the general land laws:

    Sec. 26, NW\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 40 acres in Elmore County.

    3. At 9 a.m. on July 8, 1994, the lands described in paragraphs 1 
and 2 will be opened to the operation of the public land laws 
generally, except for those lands in paragraph 2 which will remain 
closed to the agricultural laws. The lands will be opened subject to 
valid existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other 
segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable law. All 
valid applications received at or prior to 9 a.m. on July 8, 1994, 
shall be considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those 
received thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.
    4. At 9 a.m. on July 8, 1994, the lands described in paragraph 1, 
except for the lands described in paragraph 2, will be opened to

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 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: May 24, 1994.
Bob Armstrong,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
