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

SUMMARY: This order withdraws approximately 5,610 acres of National 
Forest System lands from location and entry under the United States 
mining laws, and leasing under the mineral and geothermal leasing laws, 
for a period of 5 years. This withdrawal will protect the scenic and 
recreational segments of the Chetco Wild and Scenic River corridor in 
Curry County, Oregon, while Congress considers a technical correction 
to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.

DATES: Effective Date: July 26, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 28, 1988, 44.5 miles of the 
Chetco River located in the Siskiyou National Forest was designated a 
Wild and Scenic River (102 Stat. 2782 (1988)). Of the designated 44.5 
river miles, the lower 19 miles were designated scenic and recreational 
and remained open to location and entry under the United States mining 
laws. The United States Forest Service requests that, subject to valid 
existing rights, the lower 19 miles be closed to location and entry 
under the United States mining laws and to leasing under the mineral 
and geothermal leasing laws while legislation is being considered to 
make a technical correction to Section 3(a)(69) of the Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1274(69)).
