Notice of Public Meeting on Proposed Withdrawal of Public Lands; 
Carson City, Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: A public meeting/open house to discuss the proposed withdrawal 
of approximately 18,595 acres of public lands located in Carson City, 
Nevada, has been scheduled for May 20, 1998.

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

SUMMARY: Bureau of Land Management staff will be available in the 
Carson City Field Office, 5665 Morgan Mill Road, Carson City, Nevada, 
to discuss and receive comments on the proposed withdrawal between 3:00 
p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on May 20, 1998. This will be the final date to 
receive comments on the proposed withdrawal. This meeting is held in 
accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2300. The 
withdrawal has been proposed for a period of 20 years to protect 
scenic, recreation, wildlife and watershed values located in the open 
and mountainous terrain surrounding the Carson City urban area. The 
lands are currently closed from settlement, sale, location, and entry 
under the general land laws, including the mining laws. A land use plan 
amendment which addresses management of public lands within the Carson 
City urban interface has been completed and approved. Jointly prepared 
by Carson City and the Bureau of Land Management, Carson City Field 
Office, the plan amendment identifies areas within the Carson City 
urban interface where public lands will be retained in public 
ownership; areas where public lands would be available for acquisition 
by State or local agencies or the private sector; and how public lands 
will be managed. Further details can be obtained by contacting Chuck 
Pope, Realty Specialist, at [phone]

    Dated this 7th day of April, 1998.

Assistant District Manager, Carson City Field Office.
