Public Land Order No. 7777; Partial Extension of Public Land 
Order No. 6874; Oregon

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public Land Order.

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

SUMMARY: This order extends, in part, the duration of the withdrawal 
created by Public Land Order No. 6874 for an additional 20-year period. 
The extension is necessary to continue protection of the unique and 
important forest genetic resources and the expenditure of Federal funds 
at the Forest Service's Panelli Seed Orchard, which would otherwise 
expire on August 27, 2011. The withdrawal for the Quartz Evaluation 
Plantation is no longer needed and that portion of the withdrawal will 
expire at the end of the original term on August 27, 2011.

DATES: Effective Date: August 28, 2011.

Management, Oregon/Washington State Office, 503-808-6189, or Dianne 
Torpin, United States Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region, 503-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose for which the withdrawal was 
first made for the Panelli Seed Orchard requires this extension in 
order to continue protection of the unique and important forest genetic 
resources and the expenditure of Federal funds. The portion of the 
withdrawal extended by this order will expire on August 27, 2031, 
unless as a result of a review conducted prior to the expiration date 
pursuant to Section 204(f) of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714(f), the Secretary determines that the 
withdrawal shall be further extended. The purpose for which the 
withdrawal for the Quartz Evaluation Plantation was first made no 
longer exists, so this portion of the withdrawal will expire at the end 
of its original term on August 27, 2011.
