simultaneously filed at that time. Those

in the order of filing.

At 9 a.m. on March 19, 2001, the

of Proposed Withdrawal in the Federal

Register, FR 00–20678, August 15, 2000,

that are not located within the

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument

will be opened to location and entry

subject to valid existing rights, the

provision of existing withdrawals, and

other segregations of record.

Appropriation of any of the lands

general mining laws prior to the date

and time of restoration is unauthorized.

Any such attempted appropriation,

required to establish a location and to

initiate a right of possession are

governed by State law where not in

conflict with Federal law. The Bureau of

disputes between rival locators over

possessory rights since Congress has

provided for such determinations in

local courts.

Previously Announced Roads and

Trails Management Plan/Environmental

Impact Statement To Be Combined

With Ongoing Effort on General

Management Plan/Environmental

Impact Statement for Big South Fork

National River and Recreation Area,

Kentucky and Tennessee

SUMMARY: Public comment received on

the Draft General Management Plan/

Environmental Impact Statement (GMP/

EIS) indicated additional detail was

needed to adequately understand

National Park Service management

proposals for the national area. In order

to include more detail, it is necessary to

consider management options for the

national area’s roads and trails.

Anticipating a separate, concurrent

effort to prepare a Roads and Trails

Management Plan (RTMP)/EIS for the

national area, a Notice of Intent was

previously published in the Federal

Register. Since planning for roads and

trails will now be incorporated into the

GMP/EIS, a separate RTMP/EIS will not

be prepared. The GMP/EIS will now

cover management actions concerning

roads and trails. Because substantial

revision of parts of the previous draft is

anticipated, the National Park Service

will be prepared and distributing a

Supplemental Draft GMP/EIS. A Notice

of Availability of the Supplemental

Draft GMP/EIS will be published at the

appropriate time.

DATES: The planning process is expected

to extend through September 2001, with

the primary proposal formulation stage

expected to end by May 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Our

practice is to make comments, including

names and home addresses of

respondents, available for public review

during business hours. If you wish for

us to withhold your name and/or

address, you must state this

prominently at the beginning of your

comment. However, we will not

consider anonymous comments. We

will make all submissions from

organizations or businesses, and from

individuals identifying themselves as

representatives or officials or

organizations or businesses, available

for public inspection in their entirety.
