DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
[NM-920-4210-06; NMNM 42921]
Notice of Proposed Continuation of Withdrawal; New Mexico
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management proposes that a 320-acre
withdrawal for the Fort Cummings spring continue for an additional 20
years. The land will remain closed to surface entry and non-
metalliferous mining, and has been and will remain open to mineral
leasing and metalliferous mining.
DATE: Comments should be received by October 13, 1994.
ADDRESS: Comments should be sent to State Director, BLM New Mexico
State Office, P.O. Box 27115, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87115, 505-438-7502.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Georgiana E. Armijo, BLM New Mexico State Office, 505-438-7594.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Land Management proposes that
the existing land withdrawal made by the Secretarial Order of November
22, 1894, 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:
New Mexico Principal Meridian
T. 21 S., R. 8 W.,
sec. 22, SE\1/4\;
sec. 23, SW\1/4\.
The area contains 320 acres in Luna County.
The purpose of the withdrawal is to protect the Fort Cummings
Spring. The withdrawal segregates the land from settlement, sale,
location, and entry, but not the mineral leasing laws. The land will
also be segregated from non-metalliferous mining, but not from
metalliferous mining.
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 continuation may present their views in writing to
the State Director in the New Mexico 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 withdrawal will be continued and, if so, for how long. The
final determination on the continuation of the withdrawal will be
published in the Federal Register. The existing withdrawal will
continue until such final determination is made.
Dated: July 7, 1994.
Frank Splendoria,
Acting Associate, State Director.
