Land Order No. 7587 for Langmuir Principal Research Site; New Mexico
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Public Land Order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This order extends the duration of the withdrawal created by
Public Land Order (PLO) No. 7587, which withdrew 852 acres of National
Forest System lands from location and entry under the United States
mining laws, subject to valid existing rights, for an additional 20-
year period. The purpose of this withdrawal is to protect the United
States Forest Service-managed Langmuir Principal Research Site to study
thundercloud mechanisms, lightning, and precipitation, for an
additional 20 years. This order also corrects the legal description of,
but does not change, the lands withdrawn.
DATES: This PLO takes effect on October 25, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The withdrawal extension is needed in order
to maintain the protection of the Langmuir Principal Research Site, as
originally authorized under PLO No. 7587 (68 FR 61231 (October 27,
2003)), and incorporated herein by reference, which withdrew 852-acres
of National Forest System lands from location and entry under the
United States mining laws to protect the Langmuir Principal Research
Site on the Magdalena Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest
from any adverse impacts of such activities. This PLO also serves to
correct errors in the original legal land description described in PLO
No. 7587 (68 FR 61231 (October 27, 2003)). Correction of the legal land
description does not change the actual footprint of the withdrawal;
correcting the description would bring it into conformance with the
2017 Bureau of Land Management Specifications for Descriptions of Land.
The description for PLO No. 7587 also identifies the area of lands
withdrawn as 852 acres. Government Land Office (GLO) surveys have
identified the acreages for these lands and are the source for official
acreage determinations. The GLO records indicate the exact acreage
described contains 851.72 acres; therefore, the acres for this PLO have
been updated to reflect accurate acreage for this withdrawal.
Order
By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior
by Section 204(f) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of
1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714(f), it is ordered as follows:
1. Subject to valid existing rights, PLO No. 7587 (68 FR 61231
(2003)), which withdrew 852 acres of National Forest System lands from
location and entry under the United States mining laws to protect the
Langmuir Principal Research Site, is hereby extended for an additional
20-year period and the legal description and acres are corrected to
read as follows:
New Mexico Principal Meridian, New Mexico
T. 4 S., R. 3 W.,
Sec. 5 Lot 2 and W\1/2\SW\1/4\;
[[Page 73360]]
Sec. 6, Lots 5 and 6, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\, E\1/2\SW\1/4\, and SE\1/
4\;

Sec. 8, W\1/2\NW\1/4\ and NW\1/4\SW\1/4\.
The area described contains 851.72 acres.
2. This withdrawal will expire 20 years from the effective date of
this order unless, as a result of a review conducted prior to the
expiration date pursuant to Section 204(f) of the Federal Land Policy
and Management Act, 43 U.S.C. 1714(f), the Secretary determines that
the withdrawal shall be further extended.
(Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1714(f))
