additional 20 years. The lands will remain closed to mining, but will 
be opened to surface entry, mineral leasing, and to such forms of 
disposition as may by law be made of the National Forest System lands.

DATES: Comments should be received by March 9, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to: BLM, New Mexico State Director, 
P.O. Box 27115, Santa Fe, NM 87502.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Forest Service proposes 
that the withdrawal of lands made by Public Land Order No. 1290, be 
continued for a period of 20 years pursuant to Section 204 of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714(f) 
(1988). The lands are described as follows:

    The areas described aggregate 155.70 acres in Grant County.

    The purpose of the withdrawal is to protect the Fort Bayard 
Administrative Site. The withdrawal currently segregates the lands from 
surface entry, mining, and mineral leasing. The lands will be opened to 
surface entry, mineral leasing, and to such forms of disposition as may 
by law be made of the National Forest System lands.
    For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this 
notice, all persons who wish to submit comments in connection with the 
proposed withdrawal continuation may present their views in writing to 
the New Mexico State Director at the address indicated above.
    The authorized officer of the Bureau of Land Management will 
undertake such investigations as are necessary to determine the 
existing and potential demand for the lands and their resources. A 
report will be prepared for consideration by the Secretary of the 
Interior, the President, and the Congress, who will determine whether 
or not the withdrawal will be continued and if so, for how long. The 
final determination on the continuation of the withdrawal will be 
published in the Federal Register. The existing withdrawal will 
continue until such final determination is made.

    Dated: January 27, 1994.
Carol L. Sampson,
Acting State Director.
