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affects 157.68 acres of public land withdrawn for the Bureau of Land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

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However, since this act applies only to land withdrawn for power
purposes, the provisions of the act are no longer applicable.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.
