AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

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

SUMMARY: This notice terminates a portion of a Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act, classification on 40.00 acres, as this classification is 
no longer needed.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 15, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Andersen, BLM Phoenix Field 
Office, 21605 North 7th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85027, 623-580-5500.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A decision was issued on May 22, 1996, which 
classified the following described public lands as suitable for entry 
under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act of June 14, 1926, as 
amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.):

Gila and Salt River Meridian, Arizona

T. 14 N., R. 1 W.
    Sec 28, NE\1/4\NE\1/4\.

    The Town of Prescott Valley (Town) applied for a lease on these 
public lands. On September 17, 2002 a decision was issued rejecting the 
application, because the Town had failed to provide the BLM with an 
adequate Plan of Development. The Town concurred with the decision 
because it did not have funding to go forward with the proposal. 
Federal regulations require that the classification on the lands be 
terminated and that the lands be once again opened to the public land 
laws.
    The lands were segregated from location and entry under the general 
land laws, including the mining laws, subject to valid existing rights. 
Both the classification and the segregation are hereby terminated.
    These lands will be opened to operation of the public land laws, 
including the mining laws, subject to valid existing rights, the 
provisions of existing withdrawals, other segregations of record and 
the requirements of applicable law October 15, 2003.
