SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Bureau of Land Management has determined that a portion of the withdrawal created by the Executive Order dated July 2, 1910, which established Power Site Reserve No. 78, is no longer needed for the purpose for which the land was withdrawn and partial revocation is needed to facilitate a transfer of title by the Forest Service. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has no objections to the partial revocation.
