Opening of Land in a Proposed Withdrawal; Idaho

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The temporary 2-year segregation of a proposed withdrawal of 
20.00 acres of National Forest System land for the protection of the 
Nez Perce Indian Chinook Salmon Rearing Ponds expires June 24, 1998, 
after which the land will be open to mining. The land has been and will 
remain open to surface entry and mineral leasing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 24, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry R. Lievsay, BLM Idaho State 
Office, 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, Idaho 83709, 208-373-3864.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Proposed Withdrawal has been 
published in the Federal Register (61 FR 123, June 25, 1996), which 
segregated the land described therein for up to 2 years from the mining 
laws, subject to valid existing rights, but not from the general land 
laws and the mineral leasing laws. The 2-year segregation expires June 
24, 1998. The withdrawal application will continue to be processed 
unless it is canceled or denied. The land is described as follows:

Boise Meridian

T. 35 N., R. 6 E.,
    Sec. 1, S\1/2\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\

    The area described contains 20.00 acres in Idaho County.

    At 9 a.m. on June 24, 1998, the land shall 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 land 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. 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 20, 1998.

Branch Chief, Lands and Minerals.
