ACTION: Public land order. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This order partially revokes three Secretarial orders insofar as they affect 6.62 acres of public land withdrawn for the Bureau of Reclamation's Lower Yellowstone and Huntley Reclamation Projects and the Huntley Townsite. The land is no longer needed for these purposes and the revocations are needed to permit disposal of the land through direct sale. This action will open the land to surface entry subject to temporary segregations of record. The land is temporarily closed to mining due to the pending sale proposal. The land has been and will remain open to mineral leasing. The minerals are held in trust for the Crow Tribe by the United States in accordance with the Act of August 14, 1958 (72 Stat. 575).
