SUMMARY: This notice terminates the temporary segregative effect as to 
40.00 acres of National Forest System lands which were originally

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 20, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jimi Metzger, BLM Wyoming State

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the regulations contained in 43 
CFR 2091.3-2(b), at 9 a.m. on May 20, 2003, the following described 
lands will be relieved of the temporary segregative effect of exchange 
application WYW 147166:

Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming

T. 39 N., R. 116 W.,
sec. 13, N\1/2\N\1/2\SE\1/4\.

    The area described contains 40.00 acres in Teton County.

    At 9 a.m. on May 20, 2003, the lands shall be opened to such forms 
of disposition as may by law be made of National Forest System lands, 
including 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 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 under 30 U.S.C. 38 (1994) 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 BLM will not intervene in disputes between rival 
locators over possessory rights since Congress has provided for such 
determination in local courts.
