Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to Public Land Order No. 7917 for Withdrawal of Federal Lands; Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, MN.

Minnesota federal lands stay under old rules

Congress cancels a Bureau of Land Management rule issued January 31, 2023. The rule would have withdrawn some federal lands in Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, Minnesota. That rule now has no force or effect. These lands keep their prior legal status and access. If you hold or seek a permit, lease, or claim there, the old rules still apply. People who wanted the withdrawal do not get that change.
