    The Bureau of Land Management, part of the Interior Department, has issued an order to protect certain public lands in Douglas County, Oregon, from mining for 20 years. This order affects approximately 103.92 acres of lands managed by the Bureau, safeguarding the recreational value of three sites: Island Creek Recreation Area, Iron Mountain Recreation Area, and Olalla-Thompson Day Use Recreation Area. While these lands are withdrawn from mining activities, they remain open for mineral and geothermal leasing. Moreover, if the government acquires additional non-Federal lands or mineral interests in this area in the future, those will also be protected under this order.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making sure that pieces of land in Oregon stay nice for people to enjoy by stopping people from digging for treasure there for 20 years, but they can still search underground for cool stuff like heat or gas. If they get more land later, those places will also be protected.

    The Bureau of Land Management, part of the Interior Department, has issued a public land order that partially revokes two withdrawals from 1928, which were initially set aside for the Avalon Reservoir Carlsbad Project in New Mexico. These lands, covering 335.25 acres, are no longer needed for their original purpose. As a result, the lands will be open for new uses under public land laws, while still respecting existing rights. This order will take effect on January 7, 2025, allowing the lands to potentially be sold or transferred out of federal control.

    Simple Explanation

    The government has decided that they don't need a piece of land in New Mexico for water projects anymore, so now people can use it for other things, like buying or using it for fun, but they still have to follow some rules.
