Notice of Realty Action; Termination of Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act Classification; Lyon County, NV

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This action terminates Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) 
Classification N 062268 in its entirety. The land will be opened to the 
public land laws, including the mining laws.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The land will be open to entry effective 10 a.m. on May 
28, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Charles J. Kihm, Bureau of Land Management, Carson City District, 1535 
Hot Springs Road, Carson City, Nevada 89706, 702-885-6000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority delegated by 
Appendix 1 of Bureau of Land Management Manual 1203 dated April 14, 
1987, R&PP Classification N 062268 is hereby terminated in its entirety 
on the following described public land:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 14 N., R. 26 E.,
    Sec. 36, S\1/2\NW\1/4\NE\1/4\, N\1/2\SW\1/4\NE\1/4\.

    Containing 40.00 acres.

    The classification made pursuant to the Act of June 14, 1926, as 
amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.), segregated the public land from all 
other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including 
location under the United States mining laws, but not leasing under the 
mineral leasing laws. The land was previously leased to Lyon County for 
a sanitary landfill. The lease has expired and the classification no 
longer serves any purpose.
    At 10 a.m. on May 28, 1997, the land will become open to the 
operation of the public land laws generally, subject to valid existing 
rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, and the requirements of 
applicable law. All valid applications received at or prior to 10 a.m. 
on May 28, 1997, shall be considered as simultaneously filed at that 
time. Those received thereafter shall be considered in the order of 
filing.
    At 10 a.m. on May 28, 1997, the land will also be open to location 
under the United States mining laws. Appropriation of lands 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. Sec. 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 determination in local courts.

    Dated: April 15, 1997.
Daniel L. Jacquet,
Acting Assistant District Manager, Non-Renewable Resources.
