Public Land Order No. 7200; Revocation of Executive Order Dated 
April 13, 1912; California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

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

SUMMARY: This order revokes an Executive Order in its entirety as to 
the remaining 729.22 acres of lands withdrawn for Power Site Reserve 
No. 263. The lands are no longer needed for this purpose, and the 
revocation is necessary to permit completion of a land exchange under 
Section 206 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. Of 
the 729.22 acres being revoked, 40 acres are temporarily segregated by 
a pending land exchange. The remaining 689.22 acres will be opened to 
surface entry. All 729.22 acres have been open to mining under the 
provisions of the Mining Claims Rights Restoration Act of 1955, and 
these provisions are no longer applicable. The 729.22 acres will remain 
open to mining and to mineral leasing. The Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission has concurred with this revocation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 12, 1996.
