Notice of Extension of Public Comment Period

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the public comment period for the 
Proposed Indian Pass Withdrawal is extended.

DATES: Comments must be received by the new deadline of December 1, 
1999 at the address below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lynda Kastoll, BLM, El Centro Field 
Office, 1661 So. 4th Street, El Centro, CA 92243, (760) 337-4421.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 26, 1998, a petition was approved 
allowing the BLM to file an application to withdraw 9,360.74 acres of 
public lands from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the 
general land laws, including the mining laws, subject to valid existing 
rights. The lands have been and will remain open to the operation of 
the mineral leasing, geothermal leasing, and material sales laws. No 
private lands or valid existing mineral rights would be affected by the 
proposed withdrawal. The purpose of the proposed withdrawal is to 
protect the archaeological and cultural resources in the Indian Pass 
area. Public comments were solicited at the time of the original 
publication (63 FR 58752, November 2, 1998); and again upon publication 
of the Notice of Public Meeting (64 FR 42960, August 6, 1999). In 
response to public requests, the BLM decided to provide more time for 
public comments. The new deadline for public comment is now extended to 
December 1, 1999.

    Dated: October 26, 1999.
Greg Thomsen,
Field Manager.
