SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 22, 1994, a petition was approved 
allowing the Bureau of Land Management to file an application to 
withdraw the following described land from settlement, sale, location, 
or entry under the general lands laws, including the United States 
mining laws (30 U.S.C. ch 2), subject to valid existing rights:

    The area described contains 260 acres in Washington County, Utah.
    The purpose of the proposed withdrawal is to protect the

site. It is a popular area for fishing, as well as other water-related 
activities, for local residents of nearby communities, the St. George 
area, and visitors from Nevada and California.

notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or 
objections in connection with the proposed withdrawal may present their 
views in writing to the State Director at the address indicated above.
    Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is 
afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal. All interested 
parties who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on 
the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request to the State 
Director at the address indicated above within 90 days from the date of 
publication of this notice. Upon determination by the authorized 
officer that a public meeting will be held, a notice of the time and 
place will be published in the Federal Register at least 30 days before 
the scheduled date of the meeting.
    The application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.
    For a period of two years from the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, the land will be segregated as specific 
above unless the application is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is 
approved prior to that date. The temporary uses which may be permitted 
during this segregative period are leases, licenses, permits, rights-
of-way, and disposal of vegetative resources other than under the 
mining laws.
Ted D. Stephenson,
Acting State Director.
