approved allowing the Fish and Wildlife Service to file an application
to withdraw the following described public land for a period of 50
years, from settlement, location, or entry under the general land laws,

Sixth Principal Meridian, Nebraska
T. 22 N., R. 47 W.,
Sec. 1, lots 10-13, and 16;
Sec 12, lot 1.
The area described contains approximately 145.87 acres in

The purpose of the proposed withdrawal is to reserve the land as an
addition to the Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
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 may present their
views in writing to the Wyoming State Director of the Bureau of Land
Management.
Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal. All interested
persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on
the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request to the Wyoming
State Director within 90 days from the date of publication of this
notice. Upon determination by the authorized officer that a public
meeting will be held, a notice of the time and place will be published
in the Federal Register at least 30 days before the scheduled date of
the meeting.
The application will be processed in accordance with the
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.
For a period of 2 years from the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register, the land will be segregated as specified above
unless the application is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is
approved prior to that date. The temporary uses which may be permitted
during this segregative period are licenses, permits, rights-of-way,
cooperative agreements, or discretionary land use authorizations of a
temporary nature which do not significantly disturb the surface of the
land or impair the existing values of the area.
The temporary segregation of the land in connection with a
withdrawal application or proposal shall not affect administrative
jurisdiction over the land, and the segregation shall not have the
effect of authorizing any use of the land by the Fish and Wildlife
Service.
Dated: March 23, 1995.
Alan R. Pierson,
State Director, Wyoming.
