This location is known as the
Boundary Cone Road location and is the
proponent’s proposed action. It has been
examined and found suitable for

proposed for classification under
section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act, 43
U.S.C. 315f and Executive Order No.
6910 and the R&PP Act.
Due to Native American concerns,
BLM initiated an Alternative Dispute
Resolution process with affected

Willow Road location, has been
examined and found suitable for
conveyance under the provisions of the
R&PP Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et
seq.) and the public lands described
below are proposed for classification
under section 7 of the Taylor Grazing
Act, 43 U.S.C. 315f and Executive Order

The public lands described above
were identified for disposal in the
Kingman Resource Management Plan as
land not needed for Federal (BLM)
purposes and available to support
community expansion. Conveyance of
the Boundary Cone Road location would
be consistent with the Kingman
Resource Management Plan if the plan
amendment is approved. Conveyance of
public land for a shooting range would
be in the public interest. The
conveyance, if issued, would be subject
to the provisions of the R&PP Act and
applicable regulations of the Secretary
of the Interior and would contain the
following reservations to the United
States:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches
and canals constructed by the authority
of the United States, Act of August 30,
1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
2. All Federal minerals shall be
reserved to the United States, together
with the right to prospect for, mine and
remove such deposits from the same
under applicable law and such
regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior may prescribe.
And the conveyance would be subject
to:
1. Valid existing rights.
In addition, if the Boundary Cone
Road location is selected, the
conveyance would be subject to:
1. Those rights for highway purposes
as have been granted to Mohave County,
its successors or assigns, by right-of-way
No. AZA–20911 pursuant to Title V of
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C.
1761) as amended;

transmission line purposes as have been
granted to Citizens Utilities Company, it
successors and assigns, by right-of-way
No. AZA–24775 pursuant to Title V of
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C.

Containing 470 acres, more or less.
This location is known as the Boundary Cone Road location and is
the proponent's proposed action. It has been examined and found
suitable for conveyance under the provisions of the R&PP Act, as
amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.) and the public lands described are
proposed for classification under section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act,
43 U.S.C. 315f and Executive Order No. 6910 and the R&PP Act.
Due to Native American concerns, BLM initiated an Alternative
Dispute Resolution process with affected stakeholders, including the
Fort Mojave and Hualapai tribes, which resulted in the addition of
another alternative for analysis. This alternative, known as the Willow
Road location, has been examined and found suitable for conveyance
under the provisions of the R&PP Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869 et
seq.) and the public lands described below are proposed for
classification under section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act, 43 U.S.C.
315f and Executive Order No. 6910 and the R&PP Act. This location is on
public land described as follows:
Gila and Salt River Meridian, Arizona
T. 18 N., R. 21 W.,
Sec. 28, NE\1/4\, NE\1/4\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\, S\1/2\N\1/2\NW\1/4\,
S\1/2\NW\1/4\, S\1/2\;
The area described contains approximately 610 acres in Mohave
County.
The public lands described above were identified for disposal in
the Kingman Resource Management Plan as land not needed for Federal
(BLM) purposes and available to support community expansion. Conveyance
of the Boundary Cone Road location would be consistent with the Kingman
Resource Management Plan if the plan amendment is approved. Conveyance
of public land for a shooting range would be in the public interest.
The conveyance, if issued, would be subject to the provisions of the
R&PP Act and applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior
and would contain the following reservations to the United States:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
2. All Federal minerals shall be reserved to the United States,
together with the right to prospect for, mine and remove such deposits
from the same under applicable law and such regulations as the
Secretary of the Interior may prescribe.
And the conveyance would be subject to:
1. Valid existing rights.
In addition, if the Boundary Cone Road location is selected, the
conveyance would be subject to:
1. Those rights for highway purposes as have been granted to Mohave
County, its successors or assigns, by right-of-way No. AZA-20911
pursuant to Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of
1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761) as amended;
2. Those rights for electric power transmission line purposes as
have been granted to Citizens Utilities Company, it successors and
assigns, by right-of-way No. AZA-24775 pursuant to Title V of the
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761) as
amended.
There are no rights-of-way of record on the Willow Road location.
Detailed information concerning this action is available for review
at the office of the Bureau of Land Management, Kingman Field Office,
2755 Mission Boulevard, Kingman, Arizona 86401.
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the public
land described under the Willow Road location is segregated from all
other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the
general mining laws, except for conveyance under the R&PP Act, leasing
under the mineral leasing laws, and disposal under the mineral material
disposal laws. The public lands described under the Boundary Cone Road
location were previously segregated by notice 68 FR 14687, March 26,
2003, as noted above.
Classification Comments: Interested parties may submit comments
involving the suitability of the Willow Road location for a shooting
range site. Comments on the classification are restricted to whether
the land is physically suited for the proposal, whether the use will
maximize the future use or uses of the land, whether the use is
consistent with local planning and zoning, or if the use is consistent
with State and Federal programs.
Comments received on the classification will be answered by the
State Director with the right to further comment to the Secretary of
Interior. In the absence of any comments, the classification will
become the final determination of the Department of the Interior.
Protests: A protest to the proposed plan amendment must be filed in
accordance with 43 CFR 1610.5-2. Public protests and comments submitted
for this planning review, including names and street addresses of
respondents, will be available for public review at the Kingman Field
Office during regular business hours (7:30 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. E-mail and faxed protests will not be accepted as valid
protests unless the protesting party also provides the original letter
by either regular or overnight mail postmarked by the close of the
protest period. Under these conditions, BLM will consider the e-mail or
faxed protest as an advance copy and it will receive full
consideration. If you wish to provide BLM with such advance
notification, please direct faxed protests to the attention of the BLM
Protest Coordinator at 202-452-5112, and e-mails to Brenda--Hudgens-
Williams@blm.gov.
The Environmental Assessment analyzes both alternative locations as
well as the No Action Alternative. Upon completion of the protest/
comment process, a decision will be made on the location based on the
facts presented in the Environmental Assessment. This

decision will carry a 30 day appeal period.
Dated: June 13, 2006.
