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 (1994), it is ordered as follows:

1. The Executive Orders dated

February 18, 1870 and March 26, 1881,

which withdrew public land and

reserved the land for use by the

Department of the Army, are hereby

modified to establish a 20-year term and

to transfer jurisdiction to the Secretary

of the Interior and reserve the land for

use and administration by the Bureau of

Indian Affairs. The land is described as

follows:

New Mexico Principle Meridian

Sec. 6, lot 6.

T. 13 N., R. 17 W.,

Sec. 1, lots 1 to 4, inclusive;

T. 14 N., R. 16 W.,

Sec. 19, lots 1 to 4, inclusive;

Sec. 31, lots 1 to 4, inclusive.

T. 14 N., R. 17 W.,

Secs. 24, 25, and 26;

Sec. 27, lots 5 to 8, inclusive, and E1⁄2;

Sec. 34, lots 5 to 10, inclusive, NE1⁄4, and

N1⁄2S1⁄2;

Sec. 36, lots 1 to 4, inclusive, N1⁄2, and

N1⁄2S1⁄2.

The area described contains approximately

4,526 acres in McKinley County.

2. The land described in paragraph 1

continues to be withdrawn from

settlement, sale, location, or entry under

the general land laws, including the

United States mining laws (30 U.S.C.

Ch.2 (1994)), but not from leasing under

the mineral leasing laws, to protect an

area having cultural, historical,

religious, geological and archeological

significance to the Navajo Nation and

the Pueblo of Zuni. The withdrawn land

is to be managed by the Bureau of

Indian Affairs for these values, as well

as, other compatible uses. This

withdrawal will expire 20 years from

the effective date of this order unless, as

a result of a review conducted before the

expiration date pursuant to Section

204(f) of the Federal Land Policy and

Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C.

1714(f) (1994), the Secretary determines

that the withdrawal shall be extended.

3. The land and resources shall be

managed by the Bureau of Indian

Affairs, its successors or assignees, in

accordance with the Memorandum of

Agreement between the Ballistic Missile

Defense Organization and the

Department of the Interior. The

Memorandum of Agreement shall be

incorporated into any future land

transfers for the life of the Memorandum

of Agreement. The Memorandum of

Agreement may be reviewed and

amended by the agencies as necessary.

4. The Army and its officers, agents,

employees, contractors, and

subcontractors will have the right of

access, upon reasonable notice, to enter

the land described in this order for the

purposes of activities related to the Fort

Wingate Depot Activity Installation

Restoration Program and other

environmentally related compliance

programs and to construct, operate,

maintain or undertake response and

remedial actions to implement this

program.

5. The Army represents that, to the

best of its knowledge, no unexploded

ordnance are currently present on the

land described in this order. Due to the

former use of the land as an active

military installation, there is a

possibility that unexploded ordnance

may exist on the land. Upon due notice,

the Army agrees to remove any such

remaining unexploded ordnance

discovered on the land, as required

under applicable law and regulations, as

expeditiously as is reasonable and

practicable, subject to the availability of

funds.
