DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Land Management

43 CFR Public Land Order 7025

[MT-930-4210-06; MTM 40730]

 

Partial Revocation of Secretarial Order Dated February 16, 1909; 
Montana

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

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

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes a Secretarial order insofar as it 
affects 35 acres of public lands withdrawn for the Bureau of 
Reclamation's Yellowstone Project. The lands are no longer needed for 
reclamation purposes, and the revocation is needed to permit disposal 
of the lands through competitive sale under section 203 of the Federal 
Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. This action will open the land 
to surface entry. The minerals are held in trust for the Crow Tribe by 
the United States under the Act of August 14, 1958 (Pub. L. 85-628, 72 
Stat. 575). The lands have been and remain open to mineral leasing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 14, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandra Ward, BLM Montana State Office, 
P.O. Box 36800, Billings, Montana 59107, 406-255-2949.
