Expiration of Withdrawal and Opening of Land; Arizona

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6502, withdrawing land on behalf 
of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), expired on January 22, 1989. 
The order withdrew 9,183.50 acres of BLM-administered land from 
location and entry under the mining laws, but not the mineral leasing 
laws to protect residential lands in and near the Town of Wickenburg in 
Maricopa and Yavapai Counties. The purpose of the withdrawal was to 
prevent mining claim conflicts from occurring within a 5-year period 
during which the private land owners could seek to acquire the mineral 
estate under authority of Sec. 209 of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976. This action, a requirement under 43 CFR 2091.6, 
will open the land to location and entry under the United States mining 
laws.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Expiration of PLO No. 6502 was effective on January 22, 
1989. The land will be opened to filings under the mining laws at 10:00 
a.m. MST on January 17, 1995.

FOR INFORMATION CONTACT: John Mezes, BLM, Arizona State Office, P.O. 
Box 16563, Phoenix, Arizona 85011, 602-650-0509.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to regulations found in 43 CFR 
2091.6, the following described land is hereby opened to location and 
entry under the United States mining laws. It has been and will remain 
open to the public land laws and the mineral leasing laws. Subject land
