Notice of Proposed Withdrawal Extension for Edson Creek Park and
Opportunity for Public Meeting, Oregon
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Land and Minerals
Management proposes to extend the duration of Public Land Order (PLO)
No. 7246 for an additional 20-year term. PLO No. 7246 withdrew 44.48
acres of public land from settlement, sale, location, or entry under
the general land laws, including the United States mining laws, but not
from the mineral leasing laws, to protect the Edson Creek Park
recreation site in Curry County, Oregon. Public Land Order No. 7246
will expire on February 19, 2017, unless extended. This notice gives
the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed action and to
request a public meeting.
DATES: Comments and public meeting requests must be received by
September 13, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) Oregon/Washington State Director, P.O. Box
2965, Portland, Oregon 97208-2965.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacob Childers, BLM Oregon/Washington
State Office at 503-808-6225. Persons who use a telecommunications
device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay
Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to contact the above individual. The
FIRS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message or
question. You will receive a reply during normal business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM has filed an application to extend
the withdrawal established by PLO No.7246 for an additional 20-year
term, subject to valid existing rights. The Assistant
[[Page 39065]]
Secretary for Land and Minerals Management has approved the BLM's
petition/application for a proposed withdrawal extension. Public Land
Order No. 7246 (62 FR 7796 (1997)) is incorporated herein by reference.
The area withdrawn by PLO No. 7246 contains 44.48 acres in Curry
County, Oregon.
The purpose for which the withdrawal was originally established, to
protect the investment of funds and infrastructure at the Edson Creek
Park recreation site, still exists.
The use of right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative
agreement would not adequately protect the public recreation site at
Edson Creek Park. There are no alternative sites that can be considered
because the land described is the only land that encompasses the Edson
Creek Park.
The BLM would not need to acquire water rights to fulfill the
purpose of the requested withdrawal extension.
Records related to the application may be examined by contacting
Jacob Childers at the address or phone number listed above.
For a period until September 13, 2016, 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 Oregon/Washington State Office 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. Be advised that your entire comment--including
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available.
While you can ask us to withhold your personal identifying information
from public review, 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 State Director at the address indicated above by
September 13, 2016. Upon determination by the authorized officer that a
public meeting will be held, a notice of the time and place will be
published in the Federal Register and a local newspaper at least 30
days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
This extension application will be processed in accordance with the
regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.
Leslie A. Frewing,
Acting Chief, Branch of Land, Mineral, and Energy Resources.
