Public Land Order No. 7887; Extension of Public Land Order No. 
7422, Diamond Fork System, Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project; 
Utah

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

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

SUMMARY: This Public Land Order (PLO) extends the duration of the 
withdrawal created by PLO No. 7422 for an additional 20-year term. PLO 
No. 7422 would otherwise expire on December 20, 2019. This extension is 
necessary to prevent incompatible uses from affecting the operation of 
the Diamond Fork System of the Central Utah Project, which supports 
Utah's use of Colorado River water for irrigation, municipal and 
industrial needs, hydroelectric power, conservation, and recreation. 
PLO No. 7422 withdrew approximately 2,795 acres of National Forest 
System lands from location and entry under the United States mining 
laws, but not from leasing under the mineral leasing laws. This Order 
corrects the acreage withdrawn from 2,795 acres to 2,714.22 acres with 
no change to the legal land description. The lands have been and will 
remain open to mineral leasing.

DATES: This PLO takes effect on December 21, 2019.

needs, hydroelectric power, conservation, and recreation.
