ACTION: Public Land Order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This order withdraws 22.51 acres of public land from all forms

of appropriation under the public land laws, including location and

entry under the mining laws, for a period of 20 years for the

Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, to protect the Glacier Loop

Administrative Site. The land has been and will remain closed to

mineral leasing as it is located within an incorporated city (30 U.S.C.

order as it affects 27.06 acres of public land withdrawn for use by the

Federal Aviation Administration as Air Navigation Site No. 173. The

land is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was withdrawn.

The public land that will not be withdrawn for use by the Forest

Service will be subject to the terms and conditions of Public Land

Order No. 5180, as amended, and any other withdrawal of record.
