FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Phyllis Gregory, BLM, Oregon/
Washington State Office, P.O. Box 2965,
Portland, OR 97208, 503–808–6188.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice
published in the Federal Register (34
FR 1194) on January 24, 1969, 2,632.83
acres of public land under the
jurisdiction of the BLM were classified
as suitable for exchange under section 8
of the Taylor Grazing Act (43 U.S.C.
315g). On September 19, 1977, an Order
Providing for Opening of Public Lands
was published in the Federal Register
(42 FR 46958) opening 2,360 acres of
reconveyed land to entry. However, 80
acres listed in the original Notice of
Classification were not included in the
exchange and were omitted in the
opening order of September 19, 1977.
Consequently, these 80 acres are still
classified for disposal.
Notice: Pursuant to 43 CFR 2091.7–1
(b) (3), the classification is terminated
upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register for the subject land
and is described as follows:
Willamette Meridian, Oregon
T. 20 S., R. 44 E.,
Sec. 2, SW1⁄4NE1⁄4, NW1⁄4SE1⁄4.
The area described contains 80.00 acres in
Malheur County, Oregon.
Order: At 8:30 a.m. on February 21,
2006 the land will be opened to
operation of the public land laws
generally, subject to valid existing
rights, the provisions of existing
withdrawals, and the requirements of
applicable law. All valid existing
applications received at or prior to 8:30
a.m., on March 23, 2006 will be
considered as simultaneously filed at
that time. Those received thereafter will
be considered in the order of filing. At
8:30 a.m. on February 21, 2006 the land
will be opened to location and entry
under the United States mining laws.
Appropriation under the mining laws
prior to the date and time of restoration
and opening 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 BLM will not intervene in
disputes between rival locators over
possessory rights since Congress has
provided for such determination in local
courts.
Authority: 43 CFR 2091.1(b).
