Amendment of Proposed Withdrawal; Oregon

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management proposes to amend its withdrawal 
application dated April 17, 1998, by adding 1.4 acres of recently 
acquired lands from surface entry and mining to protect the facilities 
and unique values of the Row River Trail. This notice does not alter or 
extend the 2 year segregative effect of the original notice other than 
adding the 1.4 acres of Federal land. The lands have been and will 
remain open to mineral leasing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Comments and requests for a public meeting must be 
received by February 9, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to the Oregon/Washington State 
Director, BLM, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208-2965.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charles R. Roy, BLM Oregon/Washington 
State Office, 503-952-6189.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 17, 1998, a petition/application 
was approved for consideration by the Assistant Secretary, Lands and 
Minerals Management, allowing the Bureau of Land Management to study 
the proposed 196.07 acres of Federal land. A notice of proposed 
withdrawal was published in the Federal Register on May 14, 1998, 63 FR 
26824, segregating the public lands from settlement, sale, location, or 
entry under the general land laws, including the United States mining 
laws (30 U.S.C. Ch. 2 (1994)), but not from leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights, for a period of two 
years from the date of publication in the Federal Register. This notice 
adds the following described lands to the application:

Willamette Meridian

    The portions of the following lands as more particularly 
identified and described by metes and bounds in the official records 
of the Bureau of Land Management, Oregon/Washington State Office and 
the Eugene District Office, Eugene, Oregon:

T. 21 S., R. 3 W.,
    Sec. 1, lot 4 and Donation Land Claim No. 60.
    Sec. 2, NE\1/4\NE\1/4\.

    The areas described aggregate approximately 1.4 acres in Lane 
County.

    The purpose of the proposed withdrawal would be to protect the 
facilities and unique recreational values of the approximate 14 miles 
of improved recreational trail converted from an abandoned railroad 
right-of-way.
    For a period of 30 days from the date of publication of this 
notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or 
objections in connection with the proposed amendment to the withdrawal 
application may present their views in writing to the State Director at 
the address indicated above.
    The lands added to the original application will be segregated as 
specified above unless the application is denied or canceled or the 
withdrawal is approved prior to that date. The temporary land uses 
which may be permitted during this segregative period include licenses, 
permits, rights-of-way, and disposal of vegetative resources other than 
under the mining laws.

    Dated: December 22, 1999.
