persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on 
the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request to the Montana 
State Director at the address specified above within 90 days from the 
date of publication of this notice. Upon determination by the

approved prior to that date. Temporary uses which are compatible with 
the intended uses of the proposed withdrawal will be permitted during 
this segregative period.
    The temporary segregation of the lands in connection with a

effect of authorizing any use of the lands by the Fish and Wildlife 
Service.
