This notice does not alter or extend the 2 year segregative effect of the original notice other than adding the 1.4 acres of Federal land. The lands have been and will remain open to mineral leasing. EFFECTIVE DATE: Comments and requests for a public meeting must be received by February 9, 2000. ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to the Oregon/Washington State Director, BLM, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208-2965. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charles R. Roy, BLM Oregon/Washington State Office, 503-952-6189. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 17, 1998, a petition/application was approved for consideration by the Assistant Secretary, Lands and Minerals Management, allowing the Bureau of Land Management to study the proposed 196.07 acres of Federal land. A notice of proposed withdrawal was published in the Federal Register on May 14, 1998, 63 FR 26824, segregating the public lands from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws, including the United States mining laws (30 U.S.C. Ch. 2 (1994)), but not from leasing under the mineral leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights, for a period of two years from the date of publication in the Federal Register. This notice adds the following described lands to the application: Willamette Meridian The portions of the following lands as more particularly identified and described by metes and bounds in the official records of the Bureau of Land Management, Oregon/Washington State Office and the Eugene District Office, Eugene, Oregon: T. 21 S., R. 3 W., Sec. 1, lot 4 and Donation Land Claim No. 60. Sec. 2, NE\1/4\NE\1/4\. The areas described aggregate approximately 1.4 acres in Lane County. The purpose of the proposed withdrawal would be to protect the facilities and unique recreational values of the approximate 14 miles of improved recreational trail converted from an abandoned railroad right-of-way. For a period of 30 days from the date of publication of this notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed amendment to the withdrawal application may present their views in writing to the State Director at the address indicated above. The lands added to the original application will be segregated as specified above unless the application is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is approved prior to that date. The temporary land uses which may be permitted during this segregative period include licenses, permits, rights-of-way, and disposal of vegetative resources other than under the mining laws. Dated: December 22, 1999. Robert D. DeViney, Jr., Chief, Branch of Realty and Records Services. [FR Doc. 00-515 Filed 1-7-00; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-33-P
