Notation to the public land records effective on October 22, 2001, segregated the proposed exchange lands from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including location under the United States mining laws and the mineral leasing laws. The exchange proposal has been withdrawn, therefore, is no longer needed. At 9 a.m. on February 12, 2003, the lands described above 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 lands under the general mining laws prior to the date and time of restoration is unauthorized. Any such attempted appropriation, including adverse possession under 30 U.S.C. 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 determinations in local courts.
Dated: November 13, 2002.
William S. Fisher,
Assistant Field Manager, Tonopah.
