[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 166 (Thursday, August 27, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 45856] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-23053] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management [AZ-930-1430-01; AZA 30707] Public Land Order No. 7356; Revocation of Public Land Order No. 776; Arizona AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior. ACTION: Public land order. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This order revokes a public land order which withdrew 640 acres of land for Rittenhouse Air Force Auxiliary Field, Williams Air Force Base. The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 closed Williams Air Force Base and its Rittenhouse Auxiliary Field, so the withdrawal is no longer needed. The mineral estate for the entire parcel and the surface estate for 160 acres have been conveyed to the State of Arizona. The surface estate for the remaining 480 acres has been leased to the State of Arizona for use by the Arizona National Guard. This is a record-clearing action only. EFFECTIVE DATE: August 27, 1998. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cliff Yardley, BLM Arizona State Office, 222 North Central Ave., Phoenix, Arizona 85004-2203, 602-417- 9437. 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 (1994), it is ordered as follows: 1. Public Land Order No. 776, which withdrew the following described land for Rittenhouse Auxiliary Field, is hereby revoked in its entirety: Gila and Salt River Meridian T. 2 S., R. 8 E., Sec. 15. The area described contains 640 acres in Pinal County. 2. Since all of the land has either been leased or conveyed out of Federal ownership and the mineral estate is no longer in Federal ownership, the land will not be opened at this time. Dated: August 13, 1998. Bob Armstrong, Assistant Secretary of the Interior. [FR Doc. 98-23053 Filed 8-26-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-32-P
