Indian Allotments

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is withdrawing the 
proposed rule that would have revised the regulations for Indian 
allotments to reduce the regulatory burden imposed on the public, to 
streamline and clarify the existing regulations and to remove redundant 
and unnecessary requirements. The proposal was published in the Federal 
Register on October 16, 1996. We reopened the comment period in the 
Federal Register on July 15, 1999 for 60 days.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You may contact Jeff Holdren, Lands 
and Realty Group, on (202) 452-7779 (Commercial or FTS). Persons who 
use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal 
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339, 24 hours a day, 
seven days a week, except holidays, to contact Mr. Holdren.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM published the proposed rule in the 
Federal Register on October 16, 1996 (61 FR 53887). We reopened the 
comment period in the Federal Register on July 15, 1999 (64 FR 38172) 
for 60-days because we inadvertently omitted the information collection 
requirements. We received three comments. The BLM decided to withdraw 
the proposed rule and will take no further action on this proposal 
regarding Indian allotments.

    Dated: September 24, 2004.
Chad Calvert,
Acting Assistant Secretary, Land and Minerals Management.
