Navajo Partitioned Land Grazing Regulations

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Proposed Rule; reopening of comment period and additional 
request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The comment period on the Department's proposed rule to 25 
C.F.R. to govern the grazing of livestock on the Navajo Partitioned 
Land (NPL) of the Navajo-Hopi Former Joint Use Area (FJUA) of the 1882 
Executive Order reservation is reopened to provide additional 
opportunity for public comment. Comments on this issue will be 
considered along with comments on the proposed rule published in the 
Federal Register on November 1, 1995.

DATES: Comments on these proposed rules must be submitted September 9, 
1996.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Bureau of Indian Affairs, Division of Water 
and Land Resources, Mail Stop: 4559-MIB, 1849 C Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20240, or telephone number [phone].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Curley, [phone], Ext. 
5105, at the Navajo Area Office in Window Rock, Arizona.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was originally published 
in the Federal Register November 1, 1995 (60 FR 55507). The original 
comment period ended on January 2, 1996. Since the opening of the 
comment period considerable input has been received from the Navajo and 
Hopi Tribes. Due to the remoteness of the location and the inclement 
weather a large number of Tribal members have not been able to include 
their written comments. The reopening of this comment period for a 
period of 90 days will allow for maximum input from the public.

    Dated: April 8, 1996.
Ada E. Deer,
Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs.
