SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority delegated by appendix 1 of Bureau of Land Management Manual 1203 dated November 25, 1998, that portion identified below as being part of the Woodhills Exchange is hereby terminated in its entirety: Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada T. 9 N., R. 67 E., Section 12 S 1/2 13 All 24 E 1/2 25 E 1/2 T. 8 N., R. 68 E. Section 6 All 7 All T. 9 N., R. 68 E. Section 6 W 1/2 7 All 18 All 19 All 30 W 1/2 31 All The area described contains 4,480 acres in Lincoln County. The classification made pursuant to the Act of October 21, 1976, amended, and segregated the public land 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 The segregation request has been withdrawn, therefore, is no longer needed. At 9 a.m. on June 24, 2002, 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 attempted 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: April 11, 2002. Jeffrey A. Weeks, Assistant Field Manager, Nonrenewable Resources. [FR Doc. 02-12903 Filed 5-22-02; 8:45 am]
