DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
(AK-931-1430-01; FF-86079)
Public Land Order No. 7231; Partial Revocation of Public Land
Order No. 5860; Alaska
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Public Land Order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This order partially revokes a public land order insofar as it
affects approximately 26,037 acres of public lands withdrawn and made
available for selection by the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation under
the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The lands were not selected by
the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation; therefore, the lands are no
longer needed for the purpose for which they were withdrawn. This
action also allows the conveyance of approximately 17,916 acres of the
lands to the State of Alaska, if such lands are otherwise available.
Any of the lands not conveyed to the State will be subject to the terms
and conditions of Public Land Order No. 5180, as amended, and any other
withdrawal or segregation of record.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 20, 1996.
