SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 24, 1996, the Department of the Navy 
filed a request to add certain lands to their existing withdrawal 
application. These lands are in addition to those published in the 
Federal Register, 47 FR 46892, October 21, 1982, 57 FR 43468, September 
21, 1992, and 61 FR 2261, January 25, 1996. The following described

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 16 N., R. 27 E.,

SW\1/4\, and W\1/2\SE\1/4\;
    Sec. 2, lots 1 to 4, inclusive, S\1/2\N\1/2\, and S\1/2\;
    Sec. 11; N\1/2\;
    Sec. 12, lots 1 and 2, W\1/2\NE\1/4\, and NW\1/4\.
T. 16 N., R. 28 E.,
    Sec. 5, lots 1 to 4, inclusive, and S\1/2\N\1/2\;
    Sec. 6, lots 1 to 7, inclusive, S\1/2\NE\1/4\, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\, 
E\1/2\SW\1/4\, and SE\1/4\;
    Sec. 7, lots 1 and 2, E\1/2\NW\1/4\, and NE\1/4\.

    The area contains 3,010.48 acres in Churchill County.

    The additional lands are needed to change the approach to the Bravo 
16 bombing range. The withdrawal would establish a safety buffer for 
armed overflights.
    This withdrawal will be authorized under the Act of February 28, 
1958, 43 U.S.C 155-158, and requires legislative action by Congress.
    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 addition of the 3,010 acres to the 
proposed withdrawal may present their views in writing to the Nevada 
State Director of the Bureau of Land Management.
    Notice is hereby given that an open house meeting in connection 
with the proposed withdrawal of the 3,010 acres identified in this 
notice and the 7,584 acres identified in the notice in 61 FR 2261, 
January 25, 1996, will be held on July 17, 1996, at the BLM Carson City 
District Office, 1535 Hot Springs Road, Carson City, Nevada, from 4:00 
p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The purpose of the open house meeting is to provide 
an opportunity for public involvement regarding the addition of these 
lands to the application.
    For a period of 2 years from the date of publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register, the additional described lands 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 will be permitted during this segregative period 
are rights-of-way, leases, permits, or discretionary land use 
authorizations that do not significantly disturb the surface of the 
land or impair values of the resources.
    The temporary segregation of the additional land in connection with 
the withdrawal application 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 Department of the Navy.

    Dated: June 6, 1996.
William K. Stowers,
Lands Team Lead.
