    For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this 
notice, all parties who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or 
objections in connection with this proposed withdrawal may present 
their views in writing to the Colorado State Director. A public meeting 
will be scheduled and held. The public meeting will be conducted in

withdrawal is approved prior to that date. During this period the 
Forest Service will continue to manage these lands.
