    It is hereby ordered that the administration of that portion of the 
Act of March 12, 1914 (38 Stat. 305; 43 U.S.C. 975, 975a-975g) relating 
to the withdrawal, location and disposition of townsites shall be in 
accordance with the following regulations and provisions.
    (a) Orders revoked. All Executive orders heretofore issued for the 
disposition of townsites along the Government railroads in Alaska are 
hereby revoked so far as they conflict with Sec. Sec. 2566.1 and 
2566.2. This order is intended to take the place of all other orders 
making provisions for the sale and disposal of lots in said townsites 
along Government railroads in Alaska under the provisions of said Act.
    (b) Amendments--(1) Executive Orders 3529 and 5136. Sections 2566.1 
and 2566.2 are amended by E.O. 3529, Aug. 9, 1921 and E.O. 5136, June 
12, 1929.
    (2) The designation of the Alaskan Engineering Commission has been 
changed to The Alaska Railroad. All matters which formerly were under 
the control of the chairman of said commission now are under the 
supervision of the general manager of the said railroad. The functions 
formerly exercised by the Commissioner of the General Land Office have 
been transferred to the Director, Bureau of Land Management.
    (3) Due to the change in organization, plats of Alaska Railroad 
townsites are not approved by an official of the Alaska Railroad.

    (c) Executive Order 5136. (1) It is ordered that Executive Order 
3489, issued June 10, 1921, containing the Alaska Railroad Townsite 
Regulations, is hereby amended to authorize the Secretary of the 
Interior to reappraise and sell the unimproved lots in Nenana Townsite, 
Alaska, belonging to the United States, and to readjust the assessments 
levied against them for the improvement of streets, sidewalks, and 
alleys, and for the promotion of sanitation and fire protection by the 
Alaska Railroad prior to August 31, 1921.
    (2) As to the lots within said townsite which have been forfeited 
for failure to pay such assessments, upon which valuable improvements 
have been placed, the provisions of said order regarding the collection 
of the unpaid assessments remain effective.
    (3) This order shall continue in full force and effect unless and 
until revoked by the President or by Act of Congress.
