SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 24, 1995, a petition was 
approved allowing the Fish and Wildlife Service to file an application 
to withdraw the following described public land for a period of 50 
years, from settlement, location, or entry under the general land laws, 
including the mining laws, subject to valid existing rights:

Sixth Principal Meridian, Nebraska

T. 22 N., R. 47 W.,
    Sec. 1, lots 10-13, and 16;
    Sec 12, lot 1.

    The area described contains approximately 145.87 acres in 
Morrill County.

    The purpose of the proposed withdrawal is to reserve the land as an 
addition to the Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
    For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this 
notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or 
objections in connection with the proposed withdrawal may present their 
views in writing to the Wyoming State Director of the Bureau of Land 
Management.
    Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is 
afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal. All interested 
persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on 
the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request to the Wyoming 
State Director within 90 days from the date of publication of this 
notice. Upon determination by the authorized officer that a public 
meeting will be held, a notice of the time and place will be published 
in the Federal Register at least 30 days before the scheduled date of 
the meeting.
    The application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.
    For a period of 2 years from the date of publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register, the land will be segregated as specified above 
unless the application is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is 
approved prior to that date. The temporary uses which may be permitted 
during this segregative period are licenses, permits, rights-of-way, 
cooperative agreements, or discretionary land use authorizations of a 
temporary nature which do not significantly disturb the surface of the 
land or impair the existing values of the area.
    The temporary segregation of the land in connection with a 
withdrawal application or proposal shall not affect administrative 
jurisdiction over the land, and the segregation shall not have the 
effect of authorizing any use of the land by the Fish and Wildlife 
Service.

    Dated: March 23, 1995.
Alan R. Pierson,
State Director, Wyoming.
