Presidential Proclamation of February
16, 1909, and administered by the U.S.

the regulations contained in 43 CFR

Recordable Disclaimer of Interest, if

lands. The notice is intended to notify
the public of the pending application

therefore, under the Equal Footing

1953, ownership of these lands
automatically passed from the United
States to the State at the time of
statehood in 1959. The State did not
identify any known adverse claimant or
occupant of the affected lands. The
applied for lands are within the exterior

Proclamation of February 16, 1909, and
administered by the U.S. Forest Service
