    This withdrawal will be authorized under the Act of February 28, 
1958, 43 U.S.C. 155-158, and requires legislative action by Congress.
    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 addition of lands to the proposed 
withdrawal may present their views in writing to the Idaho State 
Director at the address shown above.
    If a public meeting is required a notice of time and place will be 
published in the Federal Register and newspapers in the general 
vicinity at least 30 days before the scheduled date of a meeting.
    Nine public meetings were held in June and July 1996 for the 
purpose of scoping the environmental documentation to meet National 
Environmental Policy Act requirements for the proposed withdrawal. The 
draft environmental impact statement currently under preparation 
includes the addition of the 10.85 acres described in this notice.
    This 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 additional described lands 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 that will be permitted during this segregative period 
are rights-of-way, leases, permits, licenses or discretionary land use 
authorizations that do not significantly disturb the surface of the 
land or impair values of the resources, but will be coordinated with 
the Installation Commander, Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho.
    The temporary segregation of the additional land in connection with 
the withdrawal application shall not affect administrative jurisdiction 
over the land, and segregation shall not have the effect of authorizing 
any use of the land by the Department of the Air Force.

    Dated: April 21, 1997.
Jimmie Buxton,
Acting Deputy State Director for Resource Services Division.
