located in San Diego County, withdrawn by an Executive Order dated 
February 26, 1852, or Public Land Order number 4883, for military 
purposes. The National Park Service has filed an application to 
withdraw those 18.72 acres of public lands, more or less, to include 
them in the Cabrillo National Monument. The National Park Service has 
also requested that the administrative jurisdiction of those 18.72 
acres, more or less, plus the 6.88 acres, more or less, previously 
withdrawn by Public Land Order number 5234, be permanently transferred 
to it. This notice closes the 18.72 acres of public lands, more or 
less, for up to 2 years from settlement, sale, location, or entry under 
the general land laws, including the mining laws, and the operations of 
the mineral leasing laws and the Materials Act of 1947.

DATES: Comments and request for a public meeting must be received by 
January 25, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to Sondra S. 
Humphries, Chief, Pacific Land Resources Program Center, Pacific West 
Region, National Park Service, 600 Harrison Street, Suite 600, San 
Francisco, California 94107-1372.

    2. Pursuant to a notice of intent to relinquish filed by the United 
States Navy, the Executive Order of February 26, 1852, and Public Land 
Order number 4883 will be revoked insofar as they affect the lands 
described above in paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b).
    3. The National Park Service has requested that administrative 
jurisdiction of those lands described above in paragraphs 1(a) and 
1(b), and that land withdrawn by Public Land Order number 5234 be 
permanently transferred to the National Park Service, so that the lands 
can be managed as part of the Cabrillo National Monument and shall 
thereafter be subject to all laws and regulations applicable thereto, 
subject to valid existing rights. The 6.88 acres of land, more or less, 
withdrawn by Public Land Order number 5234 is known as the Point Loma 
Maintenance Area.
    4. The purpose of the proposed withdrawal of the 18.72 acres of 
lands, more or less, is to: (a) Include those lands in the Cabrillo 
National Monument to facilitate the proper care and management of the 
Cabrillo National Monument and the historical landmarks and historical 
objects therein, (b) provide public access to the intertidal area, and 
(c) to preserve and protect sensitive coastal sage scrub habitat. The 
purpose of the proposed permanent transfer of jurisdiction is to 
include the 18.72 acres of lands, more or less, and the 6.88 acres of 
land, more or less, withdrawn by Public Land Order number 5234, in the 
Cabrillo National Monument, so that the lands can be managed as part of 
the Cabrillo National Monument and shall thereafter be subject to all 
laws and regulations applicable thereto, subject to valid existing 
rights.
    5. 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 actions described in this 
notice, may present their views in writing to the Chief, Pacific Land 
Resources Program Center, National Park Service, at the address listed 
above. If the authorized officer determines that a public meeting 
should be held, it will be scheduled and conducted in accordance with 
43 CFR 2310.3-1(c)(2). A notice of the time and place would be 
published in the Federal Register at least 30 days before the scheduled 
date of the public meeting.
    6. The application will be processed in accordance with the 
regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2300.
    7. For a period of 2 years from the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, the 18.72 acres of lands, more or less, 
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 those which are compatible with the use of the lands, as determined 
by the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service.
