Comment on FR Doc # E8-23823

Dear Director Caswell, I'm writing to express my opposition to the proposed revocation of the regulations that require the Secretary of Interior to withdraw public lands from mineral entry "immediately" when directed by congressional committees. I'm am deeply concerned that the rule change comes in the middle of legal action taken by conservation groups to force the Secretary to enforce the emergency resolution passed by the House Committee on Natural Resources on June 25, 2008. I am opposed to any uranium mining near the Grand Canyon -- there are plenty of other places to get uranium without spoiling a national park. I also believe that a complete Environmental Impact Study should be done to assess the impacts of the rule change being proposed by the Secretary of Interior. Sincerely, Wayne E McLellan
