Public Land Order No. 7484; Revocation of a Bureau of Land 
Management Order dated January 28, 1952; Idaho

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

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

SUMMARY: This order revokes a Bureau of Land Management order as it 
affects the remaining public lands withdrawn for the Bureau of 
Reclamation's Mountain Home Reclamation Project. The lands are no 
longer needed for the purposes for which they were withdrawn and the 
revocation is needed to consummate a pending land exchange. This action 
will open the lands to surface entry and mining, unless included in 
other segregations of record. The lands have been and will remain open 
to mineral leasing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 4, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jackie Simmons, BLM Idaho State 
Office, 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, Idaho 83709, 208-373-3867.
    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. The Bureau of Land Management Order dated January 28, 1952, 
which withdrew public lands for the Bureau of Reclamation's Mountain 
Home Reclamation Project, is hereby revoked in its entirety.
    2. At 9 a.m. on June 4, 2001, the lands described in paragraph 1 
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 June 4, 2001, 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 June 4, 2001, the lands described in paragraph 1 
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. Appropriation of any of the lands 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.

    Dated: April 12, 2001.
Gale A. Norton,
Secretary of the Interior.
