Executive Order 8906—Transfer of Lands From the Ouachita National Forest to the Ozark National Forest

ARKANSAS

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the act of June 4, 1897, 30 Stat. 11, 36 (U.S.C., title 16, sec. 473), and upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture, it is ordered that the following-described national-forest lands, in the State of Arkansas, be, and they are hereby, transferred from the Ouachita National Forest to the Ozark National Forest:

All lands of the Magazine Mountain Ranger District within the established boundaries of the Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas, as shown on the diagram made a part of Proclamation No. 2296 of August 30, 1938 (53 Stat., Pt. 3, 2465).

It is not intended by this order to give a national-forest status to any publicly-owned lands which have not heretofore had such status, or to remove any publicly-owned lands from a national-forest status.
