الملخص

The U.S. Department of the Army has filed applications to extend the withdrawal of approximately 869,862 acres of public lands for the Fort Wainwright Yukon Training Area, the Fort Greely West Training Area, and the Fort Greely East Training Area. The lands were originally withdrawn by Public Law 99-606 of November 6, 1986. The withdrawal will expire on November 5, 2001, unless extended. This withdrawal extension requires legislative action by Congress pursuant to the Act of February 28, 1958, 43 U.S.C. 155-158, commonly known as the Engle Act. The lands are currently withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, the mining laws, the mineral leasing laws, and the geothermal leasing laws pursuant to Public Law 99-606.
