Proposed Continuation of Withdrawals; Idaho

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management proposes that a 197.44 acre 
withdrawal for the Mineral Ridge Recreation Area and a 56.50 acre 
withdrawal for the Beauty Bay Recreation Area continue for an 
additional 20 years. The lands will remain closed to mining, but have 
been and will remain open to surface entry and mineral leasing.

DATES: Comments should be received by August 16, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to State Director, BLM Idaho State 
Office, 3380 Americana Terrace, Boise, Idaho 83706-2500, 208-384-3166.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry R. Lievsay, BLM Idaho State 
Office, 208-384-3166.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Land Management proposes that 
the existing withdrawals made by Public Land Order Nos. 4173 and 5569, 
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 (1988). 
The land is described as follows:

Boise Meridian

Mineral Ridge Recreation Area

(IDI-24, PLO 4173)
T. 49 N., R. 3 W.,
    Sec. 1, lots 15 to 18 inclusive and S\1/2\SW\1/4\.

Beauty Bay Recreation Area

(IDI-7881, PLO 5569)
T. 49 N., R. 3 W.,
    Sec. 11, lot 2 and SE\1/4\NE\1/4\.

    The areas described aggregate 253.94 acres in Kootenai County.

    The purpose of the withdrawals is to protect the Beauty Bay and 
Mineral Ridge Recreation Areas. The withdrawals segregate the land from 
location and entry under the mining laws, but not the public land laws 
or mineral leasing laws. No change is proposed in the purpose or 
segregative effect of the withdrawals.
    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 continuations may present their views in writing to 
the Chief, Branch Land Operations, in the Idaho State Office.
    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 land and its resources. A report 
will also be prepared for consideration by the Secretary of the 
Interior, the President, and the Congress, who will determine whether 
or not the withdrawals will be continued and, if so, for how long. The 
final determination on the continuation of the withdrawals will be 
published in the Federal Register. The existing withdrawals will 
continue until such final determination is made.

    Dated: May 6, 1994.
William E. Ireland,
Chief, Realty Operations Section.
