Public Land Order No. 7953; Withdrawal Revocation; Restoration of Public Lands; Transfer Into Trust; Nevada
AGENCY:
Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION:
Public Land Order.
SUMMARY:
This order revokes in part a withdrawal created by a Secretary's Order dated November 26, 1906, which withdrew all lands within one mile of the high-water mark of Walker Lake in Mineral County, Nevada and reserved them for the Bureau of Reclamation's Truckee-Carson Project. The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) no longer needs 109.60 acres for project purposes. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has evaluated the lands and determined they are suitable for return to the public domain. In addition, this order permanently withdraws and transfers 69.60 of the 109.60 acres, as well as 103.65 acres of other public lands, as an addition to the Walker River Indian Reservation under the authority of the Act of June 22, 1936.
DATES:
This Public Land Order (PLO) takes effect on December 10, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
These 109.60 acres were included as part of the larger Truckee-Carson Project withdrawal established by a Secretary's Order dated November 26, 1906, which withdrew all lands within one mile of the high-water mark of Walker Lake in Mineral County, Nevada. The subject lands were omitted from the legal description in a Secretary's Order dated May 25, 1942, that revoked the 1906 withdrawal order. These lands are no longer needed by the BOR for project purposes. The BLM has determined the lands are suitable for return to the public domain.
[top] In addition, the Western Regional Office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) submitted an application for the BLM to process on behalf of the Secretary for the permanent withdrawal and transfer of some of these lands, once restored, into trust as an addition to the Walker River Indian Reservation under the authority of Public Law 74-748 (49 Stat. 1806), dated June 22, 1936 (1936 Act). By this Order, the Secretary is restoring the relinquished lands to the public domain and transfering 69.60 acres of the restored lands, as well as 103.65 acres of other public lands, that are surrounded by Reservation lands into trust for the Walker River Paiute Tribe as an addition to the Reservation under the 1936 Act. Forty acres of the restored lands overlap a previous withdrawal for the Reservation; these acres transfer to Tribal management by operation of law upon Secretarial revocation of the 1906 withdrawal.
