Public Land Order No. 7315; Partial Revocation of Secretarial Orders Dated October 20, 1917, and February 5, 1924; Wyoming

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes two Secretarial orders insofar as they affect 178.31 acres of public land withdrawn for stock driveway purposes. The land is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was withdrawn. The revocation is needed to permit disposal of land under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as well as other disposals by sale and exchange. This action will open the land to surface entry, unless closed by overlapping withdrawals or temporary segregations of record. The land has been and will remain open to mining and mineral leasing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 16, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janet Booth, BLM Wyoming State Office, PO Box 1828, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82003, 307-775-6124.
