Public Land Order No. 7763; Partial Revocation of Public Land 
Order No. 3708; Alaska

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public Land Order.

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

SUMMARY: This order revokes a Public Land Order, as modified and 
extended, insofar as it affects approximately 32 acres of public land 
withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the mining laws, for the protection of the Gilmore Satellite 
Tracking Station at Gilmore Creek northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. The 
land is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was withdrawn.

DATES: Effective Date: April 26, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert L. Lloyd, Bureau of Land 
Management, Alaska State Office, 222 West Seventh Avenue, 13, 
Anchorage, Alaska 99513; 907-271-4682.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration has determined that an approximately 32-acre parcel on 
the east boundary of the withdrawal created by Public Land Order No. 
3708 is excess to its needs and requested a partial revocation of the 
withdrawal. Upon revocation, the State of Alaska selection applications 
made under the Alaska Statehood Act and the Alaska National Interest 
Lands Conservation Act become effective without further action by the 
State, if such land is otherwise available. Lands selected by, but not 
conveyed to, the State are subject to the terms and conditions of 
Public Land Order No. 5186 (37 FR 5589 (1972)), as amended, and any 
other withdrawal, application, or segregation of record. Any 
significant restriction on subsistence uses is unavoidable because the 
land is required to be conveyed to the State of Alaska under Section 
810(c) of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.

Land Order No. 7710 (73 FR 35708 (2008)), which withdrew public land 
from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including 
the mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral leasing laws,
