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

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes a withdrawal created by a 
Secretarial Order and a Bureau of Reclamation Order, insofar as they 
affect 2,643.25 acres withdrawn for the Bureau of Reclamation's 
Lonesome Lake Reservoir, a sub-unit of the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin 
Program. The Bureau of Reclamation has determined that the lands are no 
longer needed for reclamation purposes.

DATES: This public land order is effective on January 17, 2017.

application. Any lands not conveyed to the State, except 3.25 acres 
included in an overlapping withdrawal, will be restored to the 
administration of the Bureau of Land Management. In the event any lands 
described in Paragraphs 1 and 2 below are not conveyed to the State, 
those lands will remain segregated from location and entry under the 
United States mining laws unless later opened by publication of an 
opening order in accordance with applicable law.
