Public Land Order No. 7238; Partial Revocation of Secretarial 
Order Dated November 11, 1929; California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

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

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes a Secretarial order insofar as it 
affects 6.50 acres of lands withdrawn for Power Site Classification No. 
241. The lands are no longer needed for this purpose, and the 
revocation is necessary to facilitate a pending land exchange under 
Section 206 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. The 
lands are temporarily closed to surface entry and mining due to a 
pending land exchange. The lands have been and continue to be open to 
mineral leasing. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has concurred 
with this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 22, 1997.

Office (CA-931.4), 2135 Butano Drive, Sacramento, California 95825;
