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

SUMMARY: This notice terminates, N-60870, a segregation of public lands 
under the Federal Land Exchange Facilitation Act of August 20, 1988, 
and provides for opening the affected lands to appropriation under the 
public land laws and the general mining laws.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Termination of the classification is effective August

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joel Mur, Natural Resource Specialist, 
Bureau of Land Management, Las Vegas Field Office, 4765 West Vegas 
Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89108, (702) 647-5152.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 17, 1996, 160 acres, more or less, of 
public lands were segregated from entry under the general mining laws 
and all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, except for 
exchange purposes. Pursuant to the regulations contained in 43 CFR 
2091.3-2(b) the segregation is hereby terminated as it affects the 
following described lands:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 24 S., R. 57 E.,
    Sec. 27, S\1/2\NW\1/4\, N\1/2\SW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 160 acres, more or less.

    Upon publication, the above described lands will become open to the 
operation of the public land laws, subject to valid existing rights, 
the provisions of existing withdrawals, other segregations of record, 
and the requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations.
    Upon publication, the above described lands will become 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 determinations in local courts.
