and Opportunity for Public Meeting;

Washington

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management has amended its

application in part to withdraw certain

lands in the San Juan Archipelago. This

action will amend the legal description

and acreage but will not change the

effects or duration of segregation which

temporarily closed the lands from

surface entry and mining until June 4,

1998. The public lands have been and

will remain open to mineral leasing.

Upon acquisition, the non-Federal land

will be opened to the mineral leasing

laws.

DATES: Comments and requests for a

public meeting must be received by

December 26, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments and meetings

requests should be sent to the Oregon/

Washington State Director, BLM, P.O.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice

of Proposed Withdrawal was published

in the Federal Register, 61 FR 28594,

June 5, 1996, which segregated the lands

from settlement, sale, or entry under the

general land laws, including the United

States mining laws (30 U.S.C. ch.

2(1994)) but not from leasing under the

mineral leasing laws, subject to valid

existing rights. The purpose of the

proposed withdrawal is to protect the

natural and recreational values on seven

waterfront tracts, one inland tract, and

two islands in the San Juan

Archipelago. On August 22, 1997, an

amendment was filed which added

36.26 acres of public lands to the

proposed withdrawal and deleted 4.39
