Public Land Order No. 7944; Extension of Public Land Order No. 7614 for Halliday Fen Research Natural Area, Washington

摘要

This order extends the duration of the withdrawal created by Public Land Order (PLO) No. 7614 for an additional 20-year period. PLO No. 7614 withdrew 646.40 acres of National Forest System lands in the Colville National Forest near Metaline, Washington from location and entry under the United States mining laws to protect the Halliday Fen Research Natural Area (RNA). A Federal Register notice published on September 29, 2023, revised the legal land description and acreage written in PLO No. 7614 to reflect the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cadastral Survey's current standards for Specifications for Descriptions of Land.
