SUMMARY:

The Forest Service determined the land is no longer needed for administrative site purposes and the revocation is needed to accommodate a pending land exchange.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The 1908 Secretarial Order originally withdrew 160 acres within the Gallatin National Forest for use as administrative sites. In 1916, the Secretarial Order was partially revoked, leaving the remaining 100 acres that are the subject of this revocation. The site was never developed and the United States Forest Service has identified it for disposal. The land is temporarily segregated from the United States mining laws by a pending land exchange proposal.
