DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
(AK-931-1430-01; FF-86079)


Public Land Order No. 7231; Partial Revocation of Public Land 
Order No. 5860; Alaska

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public Land Order.

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

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes a public land order insofar as it 
affects approximately 26,037 acres of public lands withdrawn and made 
available for selection by the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation under 
the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The lands were not selected by 
the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation; therefore, the lands are no 
longer needed for the purpose for which they were withdrawn. This 
action also allows the conveyance of approximately 17,916 acres of the 
lands to the State of Alaska, if such lands are otherwise available. 
Any of the lands not conveyed to the State will be subject to the terms 
and conditions of Public Land Order No. 5180, as amended, and any other 
withdrawal or segregation of record.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 20, 1996.

Office, 222 W. 7th Avenue, No. 13, Anchorage, Alaska 99513-7599, 907-
