AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Realty Action.
SUMMARY: This Notice opens 1,920
acres, more or less, of public land
located in Cochise County, Arizona, to
location and entry under the public land
laws, including the general mining laws.
DATES: Effective Date: May 20, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Bureau of Land
Management Safford Field Office, 711

Schnell, Assistant Field Manager for
Nonrenewable Resources, at the above
address or call 928–348–4420.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Enabling Act of June 20, 1910, as
amended (36 Stat. 557), upon Arizona
statehood, the surface and subsurface
interest in the subject lands became
State lands. In 1947 and 1948, two
separate land exchanges (PHX–080893
and PHX–080687) transferred these
lands back to the United States pursuant
to the Taylor Grazing Act of June 28,
1934, as amended (48 Stat. 1269). The
Taylor Grazing Act allowed states to
retain the mineral rights in such land
exchanges, but only if the lands were
‘‘mineral in character.’’ The subject
lands were deemed ‘‘mineral in
character’’ based on the presence of
State oil and gas leases. Therefore, the
State of Arizona retained the subsurface
estate and transferred only the surface
estate to the United States.
In the 1990s, UOP, a general
partnership that was operating a mine
on the lands involved, challenged the
State’s determination that the lands
were mineral in character and the
State’s retention of minerals when the
lands were exchanged to the United
States. As a result, the Department of
the Interior’s Office of Hearings and
Appeals (Interior Board of Land Appeals
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:45 May 19, 2010
Jkt 220001
or IBLA), required the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) to prepare a mineral
report to determine whether the subject
lands were mineral in character at the
time of the land exchanges. Based on
the BLM’s mineral report, the IBLA
issued a Summary Decision on
September 1, 1999 (IBLA 97–227) which
held that because the subject lands were
non-mineral in character at the time of
the 1947 and 1948 exchanges, the
reservation of minerals by the State of
Arizona was void, and that those
minerals transferred by operation of law
to the United States in the land
exchanges. This Notice opens the lands
to the public land and mining, mineral
leasing, and mineral materials laws as
specified below.
The lands are described as follows:
Gila & Salt River Meridian
T. 12 S., R. 29 E.,
Sec. 2, lots 1 to 4, inclusive, S1⁄2N1⁄2, and
S1⁄2;
Sec. 3, lots 1 to 4, inclusive, S1⁄2N1⁄2, and
S1⁄2;
Sec. 11.
The area described contains 1,920 acres,
more or less, in Cochise County.
1. Beginning at 9 a.m. on May 20,
2010, the lands described above shall be
open to the operation of 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 9 a.m. on May 20, 2010,
shall be considered as simultaneously
filed at that time. Those received
thereafter shall be considered in the
order of filing.
2. At 9 a.m. on May 20, 2010, the
lands described above shall be open to
location and entry under the United
States mining laws, and to the mineral
leasing and mineral materials laws,
subject to valid existing rights, the
provisions of existing withdrawals,
other segregations of record, and the
requirements of applicable law.
Appropriation of the lands under the
general mining laws prior to the date
and time of opening is unauthorized.
Any such attempted appropriation,
including attempted adverse possession
under 30 U.S.C. 38 (2000) 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.

Safford Field Manager.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Enabling Act of June 20,
1910, as amended (36 Stat. 557), upon Arizona statehood, the surface
and subsurface interest in the subject lands became State lands. In
1947 and 1948, two separate land exchanges (PHX-080893 and PHX-080687)
transferred these lands back to the United States pursuant to the
Taylor Grazing Act of June 28, 1934, as amended (48 Stat. 1269). The
Taylor Grazing Act allowed states to retain the mineral rights in such
land exchanges, but only if the lands were ``mineral in character.''
The subject lands were deemed ``mineral in character'' based on the
presence of State oil and gas leases. Therefore, the State of Arizona
retained the subsurface estate and transferred only the surface estate
to the United States.
In the 1990s, UOP, a general partnership that was operating a mine
on the lands involved, challenged the State's determination that the
lands were mineral in character and the State's retention of minerals
when the lands were exchanged to the United States. As a result, the
Department of the Interior's Office of Hearings and Appeals (Interior
Board of Land Appeals or IBLA), required the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) to prepare a mineral report to determine whether the subject
lands were mineral in character at the time of the land exchanges.
Based on the BLM's mineral report, the IBLA issued a Summary Decision

lands were non-mineral in character at the time of the 1947 and 1948
exchanges, the reservation of minerals by the State of Arizona was
void, and that those minerals transferred by operation of law to the
United States in the land exchanges. This Notice opens the lands to the
public land and mining, mineral leasing, and mineral materials laws as
specified below.
The lands are described as follows:

Sec. 2, lots 1 to 4, inclusive, S\1/2\N\1/2\, and S\1/2\;
Sec. 3, lots 1 to 4, inclusive, S\1/2\N\1/2\, and S\1/2\;
Sec. 11.
The area described contains 1,920 acres, more or less, in
Cochise County.
1. Beginning at 9 a.m. on May 20, 2010, the lands described above
shall be open to the operation of 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 9 a.m. on May 20,
2010, shall be considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those

2. At 9 a.m. on May 20, 2010, the lands described above shall be
open to location and entry under the United States mining laws, and to
the mineral leasing and mineral materials laws, subject to valid
existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other
segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable law.
Appropriation of the lands under the general mining laws prior to the
date and time of opening is unauthorized. Any such attempted
appropriation, including attempted adverse possession under 30 U.S.C.
38 (2000) 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.
