    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 (1994), it is ordered as follows:
    1. Public Land Order No. 1992, which withdrew public lands for the 
Snake River Reclamation Project, is hereby revoked insofar as it 
affects the following described land:

Boise Meridian

    Sec. 6, lot 20.

    The area described contains 13.95 acres in Owyhee County.

    2. At 9 a.m. on November 30, 1998, 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 9 a.m. on November 30, 1998, shall be 
considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received 
thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.
    3. At 9 a.m. on November 30, 1998, the land will be opened to

Appropriation of any of the land 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 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.
