Order
By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior
by Section 204 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976,
43 U.S.C. 1714, it is ordered as follows:
1. Subject to valid existing rights, the following-described public
land is hereby withdrawn from settlement, sale, location, and entry
under the general land laws, including the United States mining laws,
but not from leasing under the mineral leasing laws, to protect the
Buffalo Bill Dam and Reservoir and recreation facilities:

The area described contains 32.56 acres, in Park County.
2. The jurisdiction for all surface uses of these lands is
transferred to and exercised by the Bureau of Reclamation, subject to
all previously issued leases, licenses, rights of way, and other
agreements. The withdrawal made by this order does not alter the
applicability of those public land laws governing the use of the land
under lease, license, or permit, or governing the disposal of the
mineral or vegetative resources other than under the mining laws.
3. This withdrawal will expire 20 years from the effective date of
this order, unless, as a result of a review conducted prior to the

that the withdrawal shall be extended.
