Public Land Order No. 7298; Partial Revocation of Executive 
Orders Dated February 11, 1915 and August 31, 1917; Idaho

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public Land Order.

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

SUMMARY: This order revokes two Executive orders insofar as they affect 
80 acres of public lands withdrawn by the Bureau of Land Management for 
Powersite Reserve Nos. 475 and 654. The lands are no longer needed for 
these purposes and the revocations are needed to transfer the lands to 
the State of Idaho under State Indemnity Selection. This action will 
open the lands to surface entry. The lands have been and will remain 
open to mining and mineral leasing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 29, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry R. Lievsay, BLM Idaho State 
Office, 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, Idaho 83709, 208-373-3864.
