Notice of Cancellation of the Mojave Highlands Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS) for the Proposed Development of a Planned 
Community on Fort Mojave Tribal Lands, Clark County, NV, and San 
Bernardino County, CA

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Cancellation of an Environmental Impact Statement.

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

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public that the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs (BIA) intends to cancel all work on the EIS for the Mojave 
Highlands proposal.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The proposed project in the EIS was for 
Calmark-Fort Mojave, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, to lease certain 
tribal lands within the State of California (145 acres) and the State 
of Nevada (588 acres) from the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe for the 
development of a planned residential community. Two Conditional 
Approvals were signed by the BIA on July 7, 1990. The Fort Mojave 
Indian Tribe requested withdrawal of the Conditional Approvals and on 
April 7, 1994, the Conditional Approvals were withdrawn for failure of 
the lessee to complete the environmental process. Both pending leases 
totaled approximately 733 acres. The Notice of Intent was originally 
published in the Federal Register on February 5, 1990. Several public 
scoping meetings were held in early February 1990 and the EIS was only 
completed to a preliminary draft stage and had not been released for 
public review or comment.
DATES: Effective January 5, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Mr. Walter Mills, Area 
Director, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Phoenix Area Office, P.O. Box 10, 
Phoenix, Arizona 85001.
