withdrawal insofar as it affects 27.98 acres of public land requested 
by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers for flood control 
facilities in Clark County, Nevada. This action will open the 27.98 
acres to surface entry and mining, subject to valid existing rights,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis J. Samuelson, BLM Nevada State 
Office, P.O. Box 12000, Reno, Nevada 89520, 702-785-6532.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Proposed Withdrawal was 
published in the Federal Register, 59 FR 60998, November 29, 1994, 
which segregated the lands described therein from settlement, sale, 
location, or entry under the general land laws, including the mining 
laws, subject to valid existing rights. The Corps of Engineers has 
determined that certain lands will not be needed in connection with the 
flood control facilities and has cancelled its application for those 
lands. The lands are described as follows:

Mount Diablo Meridian

T. 21 S., R. 60 E.,
    Sec. 29, E\1/2\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\SE\1/4\.
T. 21 S., R. 61 E.,
    Sec. 31, lots 26, 30, 35, 36, S\1/2\S\1/2\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\, and 
NE\1/4\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The lands described aggregate 27.98 acres in Clark County.

    1. At 9 a.m. on October 23, 1995, the lands will be opened to the 
operation of the public land laws generally, subject to valid existing 
rights, the provision of existing withdrawals, other segregation of 
record, and the requirements of applicable law. All valid applications 
received at or prior to 9 a.m. on October 23, 1995, shall be considered 
as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received thereafter shall 
be considered in the order of filing.
    2. At 9 a.m. on October 23, 1995, the lands will be opened to 
location and entry under the United States mining laws, subject to 
valid existing rights, the provision of existing withdrawals, other 
segregation 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.

Lands Team Lead.
