Public Land Order No. 7452; Partial

Revocation of the Executive Order

Dated April 17, 1926; Oregon

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes

an Executive order insofar as it affects

4,231.09 acres of public lands

withdrawn for the Bureau of Land

Management’s Public Water Reserve No.

107. The lands do not qualify for a

public water reserve and the revocation

is needed to permit several land

disposals. This action will open the

lands to surface entry and nonmetalliferous mining, unless included

in other segregations of record. All of

the lands have been and will remain

open to metalliferous mining and

mineral leasing, unless included in

other segregations of record.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 7, 2000.

in the order of filing.

Appropriation of lands described in this

order under the general mining laws for

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.
