4310-33 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management [LLOR-936000-L14300000-ET0000-14XL1109AF; HAG-14-0197; OR-19024, OR-19046, OR-19083] Public Land Order No. 7851; Partial Revocation, Power Site Reserve Nos. 24, 145, and 566; Oregon AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior. ACTION: Public Land Order. SUMMARY: This order partially revokes three withdrawals insofar as they affect 23,878.22 acres of public and non-Federal lands originally withdrawn to protect water power values. Portions of the withdrawals created by two Executive Orders which established Power Site Reserve Nos. 24, 145, and 566, are no longer needed for the purpose for which they were withdrawn. The lands will not be restored to operation of the public land laws because they have either been conveyed out of Federal ownership, or are included in the John Day Wild and Scenic River withdrawal. DATES: This Public Land Order is effective on [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jenice Prutz, Bureau of Land Management, Oregon State Office, P.O.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject lands are located within the designated boundary of the John Day Wild and Scenic River. The lands, which are precluded from waterpower development, would continue to be managed subject to the provisions of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System Act, Public Law 90-542, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq. Revocation of the power site reserve withdrawals is consistent with the Bureau of Land Management’s land management plan for the John Day Wild and Scenic River. ORDER 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, and pursuant to the determination by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in DV13-3-000, it is ordered as follows: 1.
