    The areas described aggregate approximately 44,575 acres in San 
Bernardino County.

    The purpose of the proposed withdrawal is to conserve listed 
threatened and endangered species and the habitat upon which they 
depend. The proposed withdrawal will facilitate implementation of 
several provisions of a court settlement resulting from a lawsuit filed 
against the Bureau of Land Management regarding the Endangered Species 
Act.
    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 proposed withdrawal may present their 
views in writing to the Director, Lands & Minerals Management, Forest 
Service, Pacific Southwest Region, at the address listed above. Since 
the Forest Service is requesting this withdrawal, it is responsible for 
preparing any studies, analyses, and reports that are required by 
applicable statutes for the processing of this application. Those 
studies, analyses, and reports will be used by the Secretary of the 
Interior to make a decision as to whether this withdrawal should be 
authorized.
    Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is 
afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal. All interested 
persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on 
the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request to the Director, 
Lands & Minerals Management, Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region, 
at the address listed above, within 90 days from the date of 
publication of this notice. Upon determination by the authorized 
officer that a public meeting will be held, a notice of the time and 
place will be published in the Federal Register at least 30 days before 
the scheduled date of the meeting.
    The 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 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 which may be permitted 
during this segregative period are those which are determined to be 
compatible with the use of the lands by Forest Service.

    Dated: September 7, 2001.
Angela Williams,
Acting Chief, Branch of Lands.
