    who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection

        Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is

    the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request to the California 
    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 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 lands 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 will be permitted 
    during this segregative period are licenses, permits, cooperative 
    agreements, discretionary land use authorizations of a temporary 
    nature, and rights-of-way, including those associated with approved 
    utility corridors BB and D.
