Public Land Order No. 7356; Revocation of Public Land Order No. 
776; Arizona

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

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

SUMMARY: This order revokes a public land order which withdrew 640 
acres of land for Rittenhouse Air Force Auxiliary Field, Williams Air 
Force Base. The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 closed 
Williams Air Force Base and its Rittenhouse Auxiliary Field, so the 
withdrawal is no longer needed. The mineral estate for the entire 
parcel and the surface estate for 160 acres have been conveyed to the 
State of Arizona. The surface estate for the remaining 480 acres has 
been leased to the State of Arizona for use by the Arizona National 
Guard. This is a record-clearing action only.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 27, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cliff Yardley, BLM Arizona State 
Office, 222 North Central Ave., Phoenix, Arizona 85004-2203, 602-417-
9437.
    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 (1994), it is ordered as follows:
    1. Public Land Order No. 776, which withdrew the following 
described land for Rittenhouse Auxiliary Field, is hereby revoked in 
its entirety:

Gila and Salt River Meridian

T. 2 S., R. 8 E.,
    Sec. 15.

    The area described contains 640 acres in Pinal County.


    2. Since all of the land has either been leased or conveyed out of 
Federal ownership and the mineral estate is no longer in Federal 
ownership, the land will not be opened at this time.

    Dated: August 13, 1998.
Bob Armstrong,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
