Notice of Amendment to a Proposed Withdrawal; Wyoming

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposed in a Federal 
Register notice dated June 3, 1993, to withdraw public lands and 
minerals to protect important recreation, scenic, riparian, and 
wildlife resource values along the Snake and Gros Ventre Rivers near 
Jackson, Wyoming. The amendment proposes a 10 year withdrawal term, 
instead of 20 years, in order to coincide with the expected completion 
of land use planning. It also proposes the lands remain open, instead 
of closed, to disposal by sale, exchange, or Recreation and Public 
Purposes Act conveyance.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 26, 1995. Comments must be received by February 
27, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments and requests should be sent to the Wyoming State 
Director, BLM, PO Box 1828, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Arlan Hiner, Pinedale Resource Area Manager, Box 768, Pinedale, Wyoming 
82941, (307) 367-4358.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Analysis of the proposal identified a need 
for having the term of the withdrawal coincide with when land use 
planning is expected to be completed, and also retain the option of 
being able to dispose of land. The original proposal assumed land use 
planning would be completed within 2 years, and that a 20 year 
withdrawal term would be appropriate. Because of other commitments, 
land use planning is now expected to be completed within 10 years, and 
the term of the withdrawal should coincide with completion of the land 
use plan, which will decide the need and extent for future withdrawals. 
The proposed withdrawal would close public lands and minerals to 
settlement, location, or entry under the general land laws, including 
the mining laws, subject to valid existing rights. The amendment would 
change the proposal such that certain types of land disposals are 
allowed.
    For a period of 30 days from the date of publication of this 
notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or 
objections in connection with the proposed withdrawal amendment may 
present their views in writing to the Wyoming State Director of the 
Bureau of Land Management.

    Dated: January 18, 1995.
Robert A. Bennett,
Acting State Director.
