Public Land Order No. 7421; Partial Revocation of Secretarial 
Order Dated November 24, 1933; Montana

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

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

SUMMARY: This order revokes a Secretarial order insofar as it affects 
40 acres of public land withdrawn for the Bureau of Land Management's 
Public Water Reserve No. 107, Interpretation No. 192. The land does not 
qualify for a public water reserve and the revocation is needed to 
permit disposal of the land through exchange. With this revocation, 
there is no remaining land withdrawn under this Secretarial order in 
the state of Montana. The land has been open to metalliferous mining 
and mineral leasing under the terms of the withdrawal, but is 
temporarily closed to surface entry and all mining due to a pending 
legislated land exchange.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 21, 1999.
