    The Interior Department has issued a Public Land Order that revokes a previous withdrawal of certain lands near Walker Lake in Nevada, which were reserved for the Bureau of Reclamation's Truckee-Carson Project. Since 109.60 acres of these lands are no longer needed for the project, they have been returned to the public domain. Additionally, the order permanently withdraws and transfers 173.25 acres of land, which includes part of the previously released lands and additional public lands, into trust as an addition to the Walker River Indian Reservation for the Walker River Paiute Tribe. This action is authorized by federal laws, including Public Law 74-748 from 1936.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is giving some land back that was borrowed for a project, and they are giving other pieces of the land to a Native American tribe to use forever as part of their home.

    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.
