SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this withdrawal is to
maintain the current environmental baseline, subject to valid existing

the Army time to complete land management evaluations. The evaluation
of the lands identified as the Highway 95 Addition is for a potential
legislative withdrawal for support of the Yuma Proving Ground, pending
processing of the Army's application (87 FR 19526) for withdrawal of
public lands for defense purposes under the Engle Act.
