The area described contains 3,530.62 acres
in Phillips County.
The proposed withdrawal extension
would allow reclamation of the Zortman
and Landusky mining area to be
continued without the interference of
further locations under the United
States mining laws.
As extended, the withdrawal would
not alter the applicability of those
public land laws governing the use of
the land under lease, license, or permit,
or governing the disposal of their
mineral or vegetative resources other
than under the mining laws.
The use of a right-of-way, or
interagency, or cooperative agreement
are not considered to be desirable or
acceptable alternatives.
There are no suitable alternative sites
available where the withdrawal would
facilitate mine reclamation since the
location of the Zortman and Landusky
mines and the necessary reclamation
materials are fixed.
No water rights will be needed to
fulfill the purpose of the requested
withdrawal.
For a period of 90 days from the date
of publication of this notice, 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 Montana State Director of the
Bureau of Land Management at the
address noted above.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review at the BLM
Malta Field Office, 501 South 2nd Street
East, HC 65, Box 5000, Malta, Montana
59538–0047, during regular business
hours 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except holidays.
Individual respondents may request
confidentiality. If you wish to withhold
your name or address from public
review or from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, you must
state this prominently at the beginning
of your comments. Such requests will be
honored to the extent allowed by law.
All submissions from organizations or
businesses, and from individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, will be
made available for public inspection in
their entirety.
Notice is hereby given that an
opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the
proposed withdrawal extension. All
interested persons who desire a public
