This order withdraws approximately 507 acres of reserved Federal mineral estate from the United States mining laws including the mineral and geothermal leasing and mineral materials laws, and 331,786 acres of public lands from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the United States mining, mineral and geothermal, and mineral materials laws for a period of 5 years. The withdrawal preserves the status quo of the lands and mineral estate included in the proposed training land acquisition/airspace establishment project of the United States Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, pending the processing of an application for withdrawal for military purposes under the Engle Act. This order also includes 43,950 acres of non-Federal lands located within the boundaries of the withdrawal areas, and in the event that they return to Federal ownership in the future, the lands would be subject to the terms and conditions of this withdrawal.

This order withdraws 4.93 acres of public land from settlement, sale, location, and entry under the general land laws, including the United States mining laws, for a period of 20 years to protect the Rock Springs Administrative Site addition.

This order partially modifies a withdrawal which established Power Site Classification No. 126, insofar as it affects approximately 21.70 acres of National Forest System land withdrawn to protect water power values along the Nooksack River in Whatcom County, Washington. This order opens the land to such forms of disposition as may by law be made of National Forest System lands subject to a Section 24 Federal Power Act reservation.

The plats of survey of the described lands were officially filed in the Arizona State Office, Bureau of Land Management, Phoenix, Arizona, on dates indicated.
