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 California State Director of the Bureau of Land

A public meeting is required to be held regarding the proposed
withdrawal. Upon determination by the authorized officer of the
location and date of the meeting, a notice of time and place will be
published in the Federal Register and in a local newspaper 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 2300. Records relating to the
application are available for examination in the BLM Public Room, 2800
Cottage Way, Sacramento, CA 95825.
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 land uses consistent with the California Desert Conservation
Area Plan and permitted by the Memorandum of Understanding between the
Bureau of Land Management and the California Department of Parks and
Recreation. Existing rights are not affected by this action.
