[CO-932-1430-01; COC-28515; COC-28792]

 

Partial Revocation of Secretarial Order Dated May 25, 1921, and 
Transfer of Jurisdiction; Colorado

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public Land Order.

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

SUMMARY: This order revokes a withdrawal for Public Water Reserve No. 
77 on a 40-acre parcel of public land and permanently transfers 
administrative jurisdiction of the parcel to the Secretary of 
Agriculture, Forest Service, for management as a part of the Picket 
Wire Canyonlands. This land was inadvertently omitted from Public Law 
101-510, which transferred lands from the Secretary of the Army to the 
Secretary of Agriculture, and created the Picket Wire Canyonlands for 
inclusion in the Comanche National Grassland. This land will be closed 
to operation of all the land laws, including the mining and the mineral 
leasing laws, to protect and conserve paleontological, archaeological, 
wildlife, vegetative, aquatic, and other natural resources.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 15, 1994.
