SUMMARY: This order partially revokes five Secretarial orders and

Reclamation's Shoshone Reclamation Project. The lands are no longer 
needed for reclamation purposes. Of the lands being revoked, 1,325.99 
acres are within overlapping Bureau of Land Management withdrawals and 
will remain closed to surface entry and mining, and 19,745.54 acres 
will not be opened to surface entry and mining until the Bureau of Land 
Management completes a planning review. The lands have been and will 
remain open to leasing. The remaining 640 acres have been conveyed out 
of Federal ownership and the revocation of these lands is a record-
clearing action only.
