SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 19, 1995, 3.00 acres of public land 
under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management were classified 
as suitable for lease pursuant to the Recreation and Public Purposes 
Act of June 14, 1926, as amended, (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.), and the 
regulations at 43 CFR 2400. Upon classification the land was leased to 
the Pacific City water district for the construction, operation, and 
maintenance of an administration/maintenance facility for the term of 
25 years under Bureau of Land Management Serial Number OR 52171. On May 
20, 2004, this lease was relinquished.
    The formerly leased land is described as follows:

Willamette Meridian, Oregon

T. 4 S., R. 10 W.,
    Sec. 19, Lot 18

The area described contains 3.00 acres in Tillamook County, Oregon.
    At 8:30 a.m., on February 28, 2005, the land will be opened to 
operation of the public land laws generally, but not to location or 
entry, subject to valid existing rights, the provisions of existing 
withdrawals, and the requirements of applicable law. All valid existing 
applications received at or prior to 8:30 a.m., on February 28, 2005, 
will be considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received 
thereafter will be considered in the order of filing.
    At 8:30 a.m., on February 28, 2005, the land will be opened to 
location and entry under the United States mining laws. Appropriation 
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. Sec. 38, 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 determination in local courts.
