    Crowley County proposes to use these lands for recreational

shall be protected, including the rights of the Colorado Canal Company 
for reservoir and ditches under right of way P-010243 and Crowley 
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.

lease and conveyance or the classification of these lands before
