    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. 5023, which withdrew 140.46 acres of 
public land for the Department of the Air Force, is hereby revoked in 
its entirety as it affects the following described land:

Gila and Salt River Meridian

T. 15 S., R. 11 E.,
    Sec. 19, lot 4;
    Sec. 30, lots 2 and 5.

    The area described contains 140.46 acres in Pima County.

    2. At 10 a.m. on November 21, 1994, the land will be opened to the 
operation of the public land laws generally, 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 10 a.m. on November 21, 1994, shall be 
considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received 
thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.
    3. At 10 a.m. on November 21, 1994, the land 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.

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: October 5, 1994.
Bob Armstrong,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
