    SUMMARY: This order partially revokes five Secretarial orders and 
    revokes one public land order in its entirety, insofar as they affect 
    21,711.53 acres of public lands withdrawn for the Bureau of 
    Reclamation's Shoshone Reclamation Project. The lands are no longer 
    needed for reclamation purposes. Of the lands being revoked, 1,325.99 
    acres are within overlapping Bureau of Land Management withdrawals and 
    will remain closed to surface entry and mining, and 19,745.54 acres 
    will not be opened to surface entry and mining until the Bureau of Land 
    Management completes a planning review. The lands have been and will 
    remain open to leasing. The remaining 640 acres have been conveyed out 
    of Federal ownership and the revocation of these lands is a record-
    clearing action only.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: December 7, 1998.
