Public Land Order No. 7430; Partial Revocation of Executive Order 
dated June 1, 1912 and Public Land Order No. 1692; Montana

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

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

SUMMARY: This order revokes an Executive order and a public land order 
insofar as they affect 17.15 acres of National Forest System lands 
withdrawn for the Wise River Ranger Station and the Bureau of Land 
Management's Phosphate Reserve No. 12--Montana No. 3. The lands are no 
longer needed for these purposes and the revocation would make 14.90 
acres available for exchange. These lands have been and will remain 
open to mineral leasing. The remaining 2.25 acres have been conveyed 
out of Federal ownership and this is a record-clearing action only for 
this portion.
