Proposed Continuation of Withdrawals; Idaho
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management proposes that a 197.44 acre
withdrawal for the Mineral Ridge Recreation Area and a 56.50 acre
withdrawal for the Beauty Bay Recreation Area continue for an
additional 20 years. The lands will remain closed to mining, but have
been and will remain open to surface entry and mineral leasing.
DATES: Comments should be received by August 16, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to State Director, BLM Idaho State
Office, 3380 Americana Terrace, Boise, Idaho 83706-2500, 208-384-3166.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry R. Lievsay, BLM Idaho State
Office, 208-384-3166.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Land Management proposes that
the existing withdrawals made by Public Land Order Nos. 4173 and 5569,
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:
Boise Meridian
Mineral Ridge Recreation Area
(IDI-24, PLO 4173)
T. 49 N., R. 3 W.,
Sec. 1, lots 15 to 18 inclusive and S\1/2\SW\1/4\.
Beauty Bay Recreation Area
(IDI-7881, PLO 5569)
T. 49 N., R. 3 W.,
Sec. 11, lot 2 and SE\1/4\NE\1/4\.
The areas described aggregate 253.94 acres in Kootenai County.
The purpose of the withdrawals is to protect the Beauty Bay and
Mineral Ridge Recreation Areas. The withdrawals segregate the land from
location and entry under the mining laws, but not the public land laws
or mineral leasing laws. No change is proposed in the purpose or
segregative effect of the withdrawals.
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 continuations may present their views in writing to
the Chief, Branch Land Operations, in the Idaho State Office.
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 the Congress, who will determine whether
or not the withdrawals will be continued and, if so, for how long. The
final determination on the continuation of the withdrawals will be
published in the Federal Register. The existing withdrawals will
continue until such final determination is made.
Dated: May 6, 1994.
William E. Ireland,
Chief, Realty Operations Section.
