Notice of Public Meeting for Proposed Withdrawal; Oregon

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: A Notice of Proposed Withdrawal was published in the Federal 
Register (FR) on June 29, 2015, for approximately 5,216.18 acres of 
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) managed public domain and revested 
Oregon California Railroad lands and 95,805.53 acres of National Forest 
System lands (80 FR 37015). The application provides a two-year 
temporary segregation of the described Federal land from settlement, 
sale, location, and entry under public land and United States mining 
laws. The requested withdrawal is to protect lands identified in House 
Resolution 682 and Senate Bill 346, known as the Southwestern Oregon 
Watershed and Salmon Protection Act, while Congress considers the 
merits of the proposed legislation to permanently withdraw those areas.

9, 2015, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Curry County Fairgrounds, Docia Sweet
