DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Land Management
[UT-942-1430-01; UTU 42993, UTU 74299]

 
Public Land Order No. 7425; Partial Revocation of Secretarial 
Order dated April 10, 1946; Utah

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public Land Order.

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

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes a Secretarial order insofar as it 
affects 157.68 acres of public land withdrawn for the Bureau of Land 
Management's Power Site Classification No. 377. The withdrawal is no 
longer needed, and the revocation is necessary to facilitate a land 
exchange. This action will open the land to surface entry subject to 
valid existing rights. The land has been and will remain open to 
mineral leasing, and to mining under the provisions of the Mining 
Claims Rights Restoration Act of 1955. The Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission has concurred with this action.
EFFECTIVE: January 24, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary von Koch, BLM Moab Field Office, 
82 East Dogwood Avenue, Moab, Utah 84532, 435-259-2128.
    By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior 
by Section 204 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 
43 U.S.C. 1714 (1994), it is ordered as follows:
    1. The Secretarial Order dated April 10, 1946, which established 
Power Site Classification No. 377, is hereby revoked insofar as it 
affects the following described land:

Salt Lake Meridian

T. 24 S., R. 23 E.,
    sec. 21, SE\1/4\SE\1/4\;
    sec. 22, NE\1/4\SW\1/4\ and SW\1/4\SE\1/4\;
    sec. 27, lot 4.

    The area described contains 157.68 acres in Grand County.
    2. At 10 a.m. on January 24, 2000, the land will be opened 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 or prior to 10 a.m. January 24, 2000, shall be considered 
as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received thereafter shall 
be considered in the order of filing.
    3. The land has been open to mining under the provisions of the 
Mining Claims Rights Restoration Act of 1955, 30 U.S.C. 621 (1994). 
However, since this act applies only to land withdrawn for power 
purposes, the provisions of the act are no longer applicable.
    4. The State of Utah has waived its right of selection in 
accordance with the provisions of Section 24 of the Federal Power Act 
of June 10, 1920, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 818 (1994).

    Dated: December 8, 1999.
Kevin Gover,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
