Order Providing for Opening of Lands Subject to Section 24 of the 
Federal Power Act; California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This order opens, subject to section 24 of the Federal Power 
Act (FPA), approximately 0.02 acres of public land withdrawn by a 
Federal Power Commission order, dated July 18, 1949, for Power Project 
Number 2019. This action will permit consummation of a pending land 
exchange and retain the power rights to the United States of America. 
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has determined that the 
power value of the subject land will not be injured or destroyed by 
their exchange, if the land exchange is subject to section 24 of FPA. 
FERC concurred with this action in a letter, DVCA-1240, dated June 14, 
1996. Although the land has been and will remain closed to mining, it 
has been and will remain open to mineral leasing.

DATES: June 29, 1996.
