Revoke Public Land Order 5150

What has happened

1. Feb 25, 2026 Partially done

   Public Land Order 7966 "partially revokes two Public Land Orders insofar as they affect approximately 2,127,845 acres of public land reserved for use as the Dalton Utility Corridor" — PLOs 5150 and 5180, both from 1972. It is a partial revocation by its own title and terms, keyed to the corridor analyzed in the Central Yukon plan, not the revocation of PLO 5150 the Quote asks for; the remainder of the order stands. Congress separately voided the Central Yukon plan itself under the Congressional Review Act (P.L. 119-50, 2025-12-11). Interior transferred 1.4 million acres to the State by 2026-05-06.
