SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    1. The Department of the Navy has filed an application to modify 
Public Land Order 3457, which withdrew the following described public 
land from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land 
laws, including the mining and mineral leasing laws, subject to valid 
existing rights for military purposes:

    The area described contains 1,078.81 acres in San Diego County.

    2. The Department of the Navy has requested that the administrative 
jurisdiction of the land described above in paragraph 1 be permanently 
transferred to the Department of the Navy, so that the land can be 
managed for use as a mountain warfare training site and shall 
thereafter be subject to all laws and regulations applicable thereto, 
subject to valid existing rights.
    3. For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this 
notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, 
objections, or requests for public meetings in connection with the 
proposed actions described in this notice, may present their views in 
writing to the Chief, Branch of Lands Management, California State 
Office, Bureau of Land Management, at the address listed above. If the 
authorized officer determines that a public meeting should be held, it 
will be scheduled and conducted in accordance with 43 CFR 2310.3-
1(c)(2). A notice of the time and place would be published in the 
Federal Register at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the 
public meeting.
    4. The application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2300.
    5. The subject land is currently withdrawn for the Department of 
the Navy for military purposes and therefore is segregated from 
settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws, 
location and entry under the United States mining laws, and the 
operation of the mineral leasing laws. The temporary uses which may be 
permitted during this segregative period are those which are compatible 
with the use of the land, as determined by the Bureau of Land 
Management and the Department of the Navy.

    Dated: September 19, 2002.

Chief, Branch of Lands Management.
