    The purpose of the withdrawals is to protect recreation areas, 
roadside zones, and administrative sites. The withdrawals segregate the 
land from location and entry under the mining laws, but not the mineral 
leasing laws, and in some instances, also segregates the land from 
settlement, sale, location, and entry. 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 of Lands and Minerals Operations, in the Utah State 
Office.
    The authorized office 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 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.
Terry Catlin,
Chief, Branch of Lands and Minerals Operations.
