SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. The following public land in Rio Arriba 
County, New Mexico, has been examined and found suitable for 
classification for conveyance to the Lindrith Baptist Church for the 
Lindrith cemetery site under the provisions of the Recreation and 
Public Purposes Act of June 14, 1926, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et 
seq). The land was originally classified for Recreation and Public 
Purposes in a notice published in the Federal Register on April 13, 
1994, (59 FR 17564 and 17565). It was later determined that the land 
was not available for other uses when the original classification 
notice was published. It was segregated from all other forms of use or 
disposal under the public land laws by airport lease NMNM 34098. The 
land was subsequently opened to the operation of the public land laws 
on July 12, 1996.
