SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USDA Forest Service has filed an application requesting that the Secretary of the Interior extend the duration of PLO No. 6782 (55 FR 20766, (1990)), which, subject to valid existing rights, withdrew certain land in Custer County, South Dakota, from location and entry under the mining laws (30 U.S.C. Ch. 2) for an additional 20 years. The area PO 00000 Frm 00107 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 described contains 2,387.22 acres in Custer County as follows: Black Hills Meridian Black Hills National Forest T. 3 S., R. 2 E., Sec. 34, S1⁄2S1⁄2.
