surface entry, mineral leasing, and to such forms of disposition as may
by law be made of the National Forest System lands.
For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this
notice, all persons who wish to submit comments in connection with the
proposed withdrawal continuation may present their views in writing to
the New Mexico State Director at the address indicated 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 lands and their resources. A
report will be prepared for consideration by the Secretary of the
Interior, the President, and the 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: January 27, 1994.
Carol L. Sampson,
Acting State Director.
