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 lands to the proposed withdrawal may present their views in writing to the Idaho State Director at the address shown above. If a public meeting is required a notice of time and place will be published in the Federal Register and newspapers in the general vicinity at least 30 days before the scheduled date of a meeting. Nine public meetings were held in June and July 1996 for the purpose of scoping the environmental documentation to meet National Environmental Policy Act requirements for the proposed withdrawal. The draft environmental impact statement currently under preparation includes the addition of the 10.85 acres described in this notice. This application will be processed in accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2300. 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 that will be permitted during this segregative period are rights-of-way, leases, permits, licenses or discretionary land use authorizations that do not significantly disturb the surface of the land or impair values of the resources, but will be coordinated with the Installation Commander, Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. The temporary segregation of the additional land in connection with the withdrawal application shall not affect administrative jurisdiction over the land, and segregation shall not have the effect of authorizing any use of the land by the Department of the Air Force. Dated: April 21, 1997. Jimmie Buxton, Acting Deputy State Director for Resource Services Division. [FR Doc. 97-11280 Filed 4-30-97; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-GG-P
