SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has filed an application
requesting the Secretary of the Interior
to withdraw from mining 1278.09 acres
of National Forest System lands for 20
years to protect the unique natural,
archaeological, and historical values in
the Inyan Kara area of the Black Hills
National Forest. This notice segregates
the lands from location and entry under
the United States mining laws for up to
2 years. The land will remain open to
mineral leasing and to all other forms of
disposition which may by law be made
of National Forest System lands.
DATES: Comments and requests for a
public meeting should be received on or
before March 13, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting
requests should be sent to the State
Director, Wyoming State Office, Bureau
of Land Management (BLM), P.O. Box

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Janet Booth, BLM Wyoming State Office,
307–775–6124.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Agriculture, acting
through the Forest Service, filed an
application with the Bureau of Land
Management to withdraw the following
described National Forest System lands
from location and entry under the
United States mining laws, subject to
valid existing rights:
Black Hills National Forest, Sixth Principal
Meridian
T. 49 N., R. 62 W., sec. 19, lots 1 to 4,
inclusive, E1⁄2, and E1⁄2W1⁄2; sec. 30, lots 1
and 2, E1⁄2NW1⁄4, and N1⁄2NE1⁄4.
T. 49 N., R. 63 W., sec. 24, E1⁄2E1⁄2; sec. 25,
NE1⁄4, and N1⁄2SE1⁄4.
The area described contains 1278.09 acres,
more or less, in Crook County, Wyoming.
The purpose of this proposed
withdrawal is to protect an important
natural, historical and cultural resource.
As proposed, the withdrawal would be
for a period of 20 years.
The use of a right-of-way or
cooperative agreement instead of a
withdrawal would not provide adequate
protection for this area. Because of the
broad scope and nondiscretionary
nature of the general mining laws, the
area would remain open and vulnerable
to prospecting, location, and mining.
There are no alternative sites since the
lands described contain the resources
that need protection.
Water will not 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
