    The purpose of these withdrawals is to protect Forest Service 
administrative sites, recreation areas, and the watershed of the City 
of Salt Lake. The administrative sites and recreation areas were closed 
to surface entry and mining, while the watershed lands were closed to 
surface entry, mining and mineral leasing. 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 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 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 two withdrawals for the City of Salt Lake 
can only be modified by an Act of Congress, so no action will take 
place with them until Congress acts. The existing withdrawals will 
continue until such final determination is made.
Terry Catlin,
Chief, Branch of Lands and Minerals Operations.
