Partial Revocation of Secretarial Order Dated May 25, 1921, and Transfer of Jurisdiction; Colorado

Samenvatting

This order revokes a withdrawal for Public Water Reserve No. 77 on a 40-acre parcel of public land and permanently transfers administrative jurisdiction of the parcel to the Secretary of Agriculture, Forest Service, for management as a part of the Picket Wire Canyonlands. This land was inadvertently omitted from Public Law 101-510, which transferred lands from the Secretary of the Army to the Secretary of Agriculture, and created the Picket Wire Canyonlands for inclusion in the Comanche National Grassland. This land will be closed to operation of all the land laws, including the mining and the mineral leasing laws, to protect and conserve paleontological, archaeological, wildlife, vegetative, aquatic, and other natural resources.
