Public Land Order No. 7317; Partial Revocation of Executive Order 
Dated May 14, 1915; Wyoming

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

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

SUMMARY: This order revokes an Executive order insofar as it affects 
3.20 acres of National Forest System land withdrawn for the Bureau of 
Reclamation's Colorado River Storage Project, Flaming Gorge Unit. The 
land is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was withdrawn. 
The revocation is needed to permit disposal of the land through a 
Forest Service land exchange. This action will open the land to such 
forms of disposition as may by law be made of National Forest System 
land. The land will remain closed to mining by Public Law 90-540 and a 
Forest Service exchange proposal. The land has been and will remain 
open to mineral leasing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 19, 1998.
