Notice of Application for Withdrawal Extension and Opportunity
for Public Meeting; Wyoming
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Forest Service (USFS) has filed an
application with the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) to extend the duration of Public Land Order (PLO) No.
6928 for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 6928 withdrew 30 acres of
National Forest System land in the Shoshone National Forest from mining
in order to protect the USFS Crandall Creek Administrative Site. The
withdrawal created by PLO No. 6928 will expire on May 28, 2012, unless
extended. This notice also provides an opportunity to comment on the
application and proposed action and to request a public meeting.
DATES: Comments and requests for a public meeting must be received by
March 5, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the State
Director, BLM, Wyoming State Office, 5353 Yellowstone Road, Cheyenne,
Wyoming 82009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Aklufi, USFS Rocky Mountain
Region, (307) 578-5151, or Diane Schurman, BLM Wyoming State Office,
(307) 775-6189.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USFS has filed an application requesting
that the Secretary of the Interior extend the duration of PLO No. 6928
(57 FR 22659 (1992)), which withdrew 30 acres of National Forest System
land in the Shoshone National Forest from location and entry under the
United States mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral
leasing laws, for an additional 20-year term, subject to valid existing
rights. PLO No. 6928 is incorporated herein by reference.
The purpose of the proposed withdrawal extension is to continue the
protection of the significant capital improvements associated with the
Crandall Creek Administrative Site.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative
agreement would not provide adequate protection.
The USFS would not need to acquire water rights to fulfill the
purpose of the requested withdrawal extension.
Records related to the extension application may be examined by
contacting Diane Schurman at the above BLM address or phone number, or
email [email protected].
For a period until March 5, 2012, all persons who wish to submit
comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed
withdrawal extension may present their views in writing to the BLM
Wyoming State Director at the address indicated above.
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will
be available for public review at the address indicated above during
regular business hours.
Individual respondents may request confidentiality. Before
including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal
identifying information in your comment, be advised that your entire
comment--including your personal identifying information--may be made
publicly available at any time. While you may ask us in your comment to
withhold from public review your personal identifying information, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal extension. All
interested parties who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being
heard on the proposed withdrawal extension must submit a written
request to the BLM Wyoming State Director at the address indicated
