Public Land Order No. 7907; Extension of Public Land Order No. 
6244, as Extended by Public Land Order No. 7514; Davis Range Tract M, 
Alaska

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public Land Order.

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

SUMMARY: This Public Land Order (PLO) extends the withdrawal created by 
PLO No. 6244, as extended by PLO No. 7514, which would otherwise expire 
on May 12, 2022, for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 6244 withdrew 
approximately 3,264.32 acres of public land, known as the Davis Range 
Tract M, from operation of surface land and mining laws, but not 
mineral leasing, and reserved for use by the Department of the Air 
Force for cold weather survival and infantry tactical training purposes 
in Fort Richardson, Alaska. PLO No. 7514 extended PLO No. 6244 for an 
additional 20-year term. This PLO also corrects the acreage in PLO 6244 
and gives effect to the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 
recommendation and subsequent creation of Joint Base Elmendorf-
Richardson in 2010, with the Department of the Air Force as the 
supporting agency.

DATES: This PLO takes effect on May 13, 2022.

Order

    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, it is ordered as follows:
    Public Land Order No. 6244, (47 FR 20590 (1982)), as extended by 
Public Land Order No. 7514 (67 FR 10433 (2002)), which withdrew 
approximately 3,264.32 acres of public land from settlement, sale, 
location, entry selection, or other disposal under the public land 
laws, including the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of December 18, 
1971, 85 Stat. 688, the Alaska Statehood Act, 72 Stat. 339, and the 
mining laws, 30 U.S.C. Ch. 2, but not the mineral leasing laws, and 
reserved it for military use by the Department of the Air Force, 
subject to valid existing rights, is hereby extended for an additional 
20-year period.
    The May 13, 1982, Federal Register publication (47 FR 20590) 
identified 3,340 acres of public lands for the Davis Range Tract M 
withdrawal. Supplemental plats of survey delineating the boundaries of 
the lands withdrawn by PLO No. 6244 were officially filed on April 21, 
2020. The revised legal description and acreage set forth herein are 
consistent with the Specifications for Descriptions of Lands (2017) and 
are used in place of the land description in the application and the 
original PLO issued in 1982. The Alaska Chief Cadastral Surveyor 
reviewed the legal description and plats within the withdrawal boundary 
against all records of survey, and determined the acreage to be 
3,264.32, a difference of 75.68 acres from the PLO issued in 1982. For 
the purpose of this withdrawal extension, the withdrawal boundary 
remains unchanged, and the total acreage reflects the more accurate 
calculation of 3,264.32 acres, which are described as:

Seward Meridian, Alaska

T. 12 N., R. 1 W.,
    Sec. 6, lots 3 thru 7, SE1/4NW1/4, and E1/2SW1/4;
    Sec. 7, lots 1 thru 4, E1/2NW1/4, and E1/2SW1/4;
    Sec. 18, lots 1 and 6, NE1/4NW1/4, and N1/2SE1/4NW1/4.
T. 12 N., R. 2 W.,
    Secs. 1 and 2;
    Sec. 3, lots 1 and 2, and SE1/4NE1/4;
    Sec. 11, NE1/4, NE1/4NW1/4, and NE1/4SE1/4;
    Sec. 12;
    Sec. 13, N1/2NE1/4, N1/2SW1/4NE1/4, N1/2SE1/4NE1/4, N1/2NW1/4, 
and N1/2SE1/4NW1/4;
    tract F;
    tract G.
    The area described contains 3,264.32 acres.

    2. The withdrawal extended by this Order will expire on May 12, 
2042, 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 of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714(f), the Secretary determines 
that the withdrawal shall be further extended.

Robert T. Anderson,
Solicitor.
