Public Land Order No. 7882; Extension of Public Land Order No. 5683, Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge; Florida

Riepilogo

This Public Land Order (PLO) extends the duration of the withdrawal established by PLO No. 5683 for an additional 40-year term, which would otherwise expire on September 11, 2019. This extension is necessary to preserve unique features and facilitate management between the existing refuge and adjacent privately-held lands. PLO No. 5683 withdrew 37.50 acres of public land from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws, including the mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral leasing laws for 40 years. PLO No. 5683 reserved the lands under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior as part of the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, administered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
