Order

    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. 1349, which withdrew National Forest 
System land for administrative sites, is hereby revoked insofar as it 
affects the following described land:

Tonto National Forest

Gila and Salt River Meridian

Old Pinal CCC Camp

T. 1 S., R. 14 E.,
    Sec. 22, SW\1/4\SE\1/4\.
    The area described contains 40 acres.

    2. At 10 a.m. on July 3, 2003, the land shall be opened to such 
forms of disposition as may by law be made of National Forest System 
land, 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 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 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 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: May 2, 2003.
Rebecca W. Watson,
Assistant Secretary--Land and Minerals Management.
