摘要

The Department of the Air Force has filed an application to extend the withdrawal of 2,668,100 acres of public land for the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range. The land is currently withdrawn by Public Law 99-606 of November 6, 1986.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 The land is currently withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, the mining laws, the mineral leasing laws, and the geothermal leasing laws pursuant to Public Law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. This notice provides an opportunity for the public to submit comments, suggestions, or objections and announces the time and place for public meetings that will provide an opportunity for public involvement regarding the Department of the Air Force's proposed extension of the land withdrawal.
