County Road. The lands are not needed for Federal purposes. Lease and
conveyance of these lands for recreational purposes is consistent with
the Royal Gorge Resource Management Plan of 1996 and would be in the
public interest.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the lands
will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public
land laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease or
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act.
