Proposed Continuation of Withdrawal, Oregon

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, proposes 
that a portion of a land withdrawal continue for an additional 20 years 
and requests that the land involved remain closed to mining.

DATES: Comments should be received by January 11, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to the BLM Oregon/Washington State 
Office, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208-2965.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna Kauffman, BLM Oregon/Washington 
State Office, 503-280-7162.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Forest Service proposes that the 
existing land withdrawal made by Public Land Order No. 2974 be 
continued for a period of 20 years pursuant to Section 204 of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714 (1988). 
The land is described as follows:

Willamette Meridian

Malheur National Forest

T. 15 S., R. 35 E.,
    Sec. 8, SW\1/4\NW\1/4\SW\1/4\.

    The area described contains 10 acres in Grant County.

    The purpose of the withdrawal is to protect the Crescent Campground 
located approximately 15 miles southeast of Prairie City. The 
withdrawal segregates the land from operation of the mining laws, but 
not the mineral leasing laws. The Forest Service requests no change in 
the purpose or segregative effect of the withdrawal.
    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 continuation may 
present their views in writing to the undersigned officer at the 
address specified above.
    The authorized officer of the Bureau of Land Management will 
undertake such investigations as are necessary to determine the 
existing and potential demand for the land and its resources. A report 
will also be prepared for consideration by the Secretary of the 
Interior, the President and Congress, who will determine whether or not 
the withdrawal will be continued and if so, for how long. The final 
determination on the continuation of the withdrawal will be published 
in the Federal Register. The existing withdrawal will continue until 
such final determination is made.

    Dated: September 21, 1994.
Robert D. DeViney, Jr.,
Chief, Branch of Lands and Minerals Operations.
