Notice of Proposed Continuation of Withdrawal; New Mexico

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management proposes that a 320-acre 
withdrawal for the Fort Cummings spring continue for an additional 20 
years. The land will remain closed to surface entry and non-
metalliferous mining, and has been and will remain open to mineral 
leasing and metalliferous mining.

DATE: Comments should be received by October 13, 1994.

ADDRESS: Comments should be sent to State Director, BLM New Mexico 
State Office, P.O. Box 27115, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87115, 505-438-7502.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Georgiana E. Armijo, BLM New Mexico State Office, 505-438-7594.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Land Management proposes that 
the existing land withdrawal made by the Secretarial Order of November 
22, 1894, 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:

New Mexico Principal Meridian

T. 21 S., R. 8 W.,
    sec. 22, SE\1/4\;
    sec. 23, SW\1/4\.
    The area contains 320 acres in Luna County.

    The purpose of the withdrawal is to protect the Fort Cummings 
Spring. The withdrawal segregates the land from settlement, sale, 
location, and entry, but not the mineral leasing laws. The land will 
also be segregated from non-metalliferous mining, but not from 
metalliferous mining.
    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: July 7, 1994.
Frank Splendoria,
Acting Associate, State Director.
