    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 Forest Supervisor, Siskiyou National Forest, at 
the address stated above.
    Notice is hereby given that a public meeting will be provided in 
connection with the proposed withdrawal. The times, dates, and places 
for the meetings will be announced in a subsequent notice 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 fourth 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 from location and entry under the United States 
mining laws unless the application is denied or canceled or the 
withdrawal is approved prior to that date. All temporary land uses 
identified in 43 CFR 2310.2(c) may be approved while the lands remain 
segregated which include, applications for licenses, permits, 
cooperative agreements or other discretionary land use authorizations 
of a temporary nature. Locatable mineral operations (36 CFR 228.3(a)) 
conducted on or for the benefit of mining claims located prior to the 
effective date of this segregation, can continue and may be allowed 
without first conducting a valid existing rights determination.
