    These areas described aggregate 7167.96 acres in Bannock, Cassia, 
Custer, Lemhi, Owyhee, and Twin Falls Counties.

    The purpose of the withdrawals is to protect the water sources 
located on the lands for livestock and wildlife uses. The withdrawals 
segregate the lands and water from settlement, sale, location, and 
entry, including mining for nonmetalliferous minerals but not location 
and entry under the mining laws for metalliferous minerals or the 
mineral leasing laws.
    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 of 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 
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: July 7, 1994.
Jimmie A. Buxton,
Chief, Branch of Land Operations.
