Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 15, 2005 / Notices
and concerns are communicated to the
BLM Northern Field Office manager for
decisions in land use, planning, and
management.
The South planning area is described
as beginning on the Petroleum Reserve
boundary on the township line between
T. 8 N., R. 40 W. and T. 9 N., R. 39 W.,
Umiat Meridian (U.M.), and thence
easterly along the township lines to the
northeast corner of T. 8 N., R. 26 W.,
U.M., thence southerly and easterly
along township and section lines in a
stair-step fashion to the Petroleum
Reserve boundary where the Colville
River flows from T. 5 S., R. 15 W. to T.
4 S., R. 15 W., U.M., thence generally
westerly, southerly, westerly, and
northerly following the boundary of the
Petroleum Reserve to the point of
beginning. This area consists of
approximately 9.2 million acres. A map
of the plan area (which also serves as
the Call map) showing boundaries of the
area on a township-by-township basis is
available at BLM’s Information Center in
the Anchorage Federal Office Building,
222 West 7th Avenue, Anchorage, (907–
271–5960).
Call for Nominations: Pursuant to 43
CFR 3131.1 and 3131.2, relevant
information related to possible oil and
gas leasing is requested for the plan
area. Oil and gas companies are
specifically requested to nominate areas
within the plan area that they would
like to have considered for oil and gas
leasing. Nominations must be depicted
on a Call map by outlining the area(s)
of interest along township lines.
Nominators are asked to submit a list of
townships nominated to facilitate
correct interpretation of the Call map.
Although the identities of those
submitting nominations for oil and gas
leasing become a matter of public
record, the individual nominations will
be held confidential.
Nominators also are requested to rank
townships nominated for oil and gas
leasing according to priority of interest
(e.g., high priority 1, medium priority 2,
or low priority 3). Townships
nominated that do not indicate
priorities will be considered priority 3.
Blanket priorities on large areas are not
useful in the analysis of industry
interest. The telephone number and
name of a person to contact in the
nominator’s organization for additional
information should be included in the
response.
Although nominations are to be
submitted along township lines,
comments are also being sought on the
preferred size of tracts for leasing in this
area, not to exceed 60,000 acres. 43 CFR
3130.4–1 limits the size of an oil and gas
