    The area described contains approximately 5,117 acres in 
Imperial County.
    The purpose of the proposed withdrawal is to facilitate the All-
American Canal Lining Project.
    For a period of 90 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 may present 
their views in writing to the California State Director of the 
Bureau of Land Management.
    Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting 
is afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal. All 
interested persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of 
being heard on the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request 
to the California State Director within 90 days from the date of 
publication of this notice. Since the proposed withdrawal involves 
more that 5,000 acres in the aggregate, at least one public meeting 
will be held as required by 43 CFR 2310.3-1(b)(2)(v). A notice of 
the time and place will be published in the Federal Register at 
least 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
    The application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2300.
    For a period of 2 years from the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, the land will be segregated as 
specified above unless the application is denied or canceled or the 
withdrawal is approved prior to that date. The temporary uses which 
may be permitted during this segregative period are those which are 
compatible with the use of the land by Bureau of Reclamation.

    Dated: March 17, 1995.
David McIlnay,
Chief, Branch of Lands.
