Notice of Addition of Lands to Proposed Withdrawal; New Mexico

DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
The United States Forest Service has filed a request to add
739.71 acres to their withdrawal application in aid of legislation for
the proposed Global Settlement with the Pueblo of San Idelfonso, in Rio
Arriba County, New Mexico. The original notice of proposed withdrawal
was published in the Federal Register, 67 FR 7193, February 15, 2002,
and segregated the lands described therein from location under the
United States mining laws, subject to valid existing rights. This [[Page 75629]]
notice shall not operate to extend the segregation for the lands
described in the original notice. The segregation is necessary to
provide protection of these additional lands for relief of legislation
during the negotiation of the proposed Global Settlement with the San
Idelfonso Pueblo (Pueblo of San Idelfonso v. the United States of
AmericaDocket No. 354 Court of Federal Claims).
SUMMARY:
