EFFECTIVE DATE: The land will be open to entry effective 10 am on June

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. 15N., R. 20E.,

Sec. 32, W\1/2\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\SW\1/4\, E\1/2\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\SW\1/4\.
    Containing 10.00 acres.

    Classification No. 62-2 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. No applications were received and the 
classification no longer serves any purpose.
    At 10 a.m. on June 2, 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 June 2, 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 June 2, 1997, the land will also be 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 determination in local courts.

    Dated: April 23, 1997.
Daniel L. Jacquet,
Acting Assistant District Manager, Non-Renewable Resources.
