Springs Recreation Area; and Paliza Recreation Area, all in the Santa
Fe National Forest. The withdrawal segregates the lands from
settlement, sale, location, and entry, including location and entry
under the mining laws, but not the mineral leasing laws. No change is
proposed in the purpose of the withdrawal, but the lands will be opened
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 State Director in the New Mexico 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 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: May 31, 1994.
Frank Splendoria,
Acting Associate State Director.
