Public Land Order No. 7205; Partial Revocation of Secretarial 
Order dated July 9, 1927; California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public Land Order.

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

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes a Secretarial order insofar as it 
affects 162.07 acres of National Forest System lands withdrawn for 
Power Site Classification No. 183. The lands are no longer needed for 
this purpose, and the revocation is necessary to facilitate the 
completion of a land exchange under the General Exchange Act of 1922. 
This action will open the lands to such forms of disposition as may by 
law be made of National Forest System lands. The lands are temporarily 
closed to mining by a Forest Service exchange proposal. The lands have 
been and remain open to mineral leasing, and to mining under the 
provisions of the Mining Claims Rights Restoration Act of 1955. The 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has concurred with this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 12, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Gary, BLM California State 
Office, 2800 Cottage Way, Sacramento, California 95825, 916-979-2858.
    By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior 
by Section 204 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 
43 U.S.C. 1714 (1988), it is ordered as follows:
    1. The Secretarial Order dated July 9, 1927, which withdrew

    Sec. 16, lot 9;
    Sec. 18, lot 4, SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, and S\1/2\SE\1/4\.

    The areas described aggregate 162.07 acres in Nevada County.

    2. At 9 a.m. on August 12, 1996, the lands will be opened to such 
forms of disposition as may by law be made of National Forest System 
lands, subject to valid existing rights, the provisions of existing 
withdrawals, other segregations of record, and the requirements of 
applicable law.
    The lands have been open to mining under the provisions of the 
Mining Claim Rights Restoration Act of 1955, 30 U.S.C. 621 (1988), and 
these provisions are no longer required.
