Public Land Order No. 7459; Partial Revocation of California 
Desert Protection Act of 1994; California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes the California Desert Protection 
Act of 1994 insofar as it affects 42.3 acres within the boundaries of 
the China Lake Naval Weapons Center withdrawn for the Department of the 
Navy for military purposes. The land is no longer needed for the 
purpose for which it was withdrawn. This action returns the land to 
Bureau of Land Management administration and opens it to surface entry 
and mineral leasing. The land will remain withdrawn from mining due to 
an overlapping withdrawal.
