ACTION: Public land order.

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes a

Secretarial Order dated October 19,

1920, insofar as it affects 160 acres of

public land withdrawn for the Bureau of

Reclamation’s Yuma Project. The land is

no longer needed for the purpose for

is needed to permit completion of a land

exchange as part of the Bureau of Land

Management’s land tenure adjustment

program in Riverside and San Diego

to surface entry and mining unless

closed by overlapping withdrawals or

temporary segregations of record. The

mineral leasing.

Riverside County.

2. At 10 a.m. on June 17, 1996, the

the public land laws generally, subject

to valid existing rights, the provisions of

existing withdrawals, other segregations

of record, and the requirements of

applicable law. All valid applications

received at or prior to 10 a.m. on June

17, 1996, shall be considered as

simultaneously filed at that time. Those

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 (1988), 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.
