SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The segregative effect for Airport Lease 
Application AZA 25117, was made on August 19, 1993; August 24, 1994; 
August 29, 1995; and August 21, 1997. The segregation was made pursuant 
to the Act of May 24, 1928 (49 U.S.C. Appendices 211-213) as amended by 
the Act of August 16, 1941 (55 Stat. 621).
    The segregative effect is hereby terminated for all public lands 
encumbered by Airport Lease Application AZA 25117.
    At 9 a.m. on June 12, 2000, the land encumbered by Airport Lease 
Application AZA 25117, will be opened to location and entry under the 
United States mining laws, 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 (date of publication), shall be considered as 
simultaneously filed at that time. Those received thereafter shall be 
considered in the order of filing. 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 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.
