SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

mining, for up to two years while
various studies and analyses are made

remain open to mineral leasing.
DATES: Comments and requests for a
public meeting must be received by

The area described contains 427 acres,
more or less, in Lincoln County.
The petition/application has been
approved as a withdrawal proposal.
43 CFR 2310.1–3 (e).
The land proposed for withdrawal
consists of isolated tracts of public land
within the boundary of the Cokeville
Meadows National Wildlife (Refuge).
The land would be withdrawn from
settlement, sale, location, or entry under
the general land laws, including the
mining laws, but not the mineral leasing
laws, to preserve, protect and manage
the above described public lands for use
as an inviolate sanctuary; for its
migratory waterfowl habitat and other
migratory bird values; resident big
game, small game, fur bearers, and
upland game birds; public educational
values; public recreational values; and,
for any other management purposes, for
migratory birds. Day-to-day
management functions relative to the
land would be transferred by the
proposed withdrawal from the Bureau
of Land Management to the Fish and
Wildlife Service for inclusion in the
Refuge. Administrative jurisdiction over
the land would remain in the Secretary
of the Interior.
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 may
present their views in writing to the
Wyoming State Director of the Bureau of
Land Management.
Notice is hereby given that an
opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the
proposed withdrawal. All interested
persons who desire a public meeting for
the purpose of being heard on the
proposed withdrawal must submit a
written request to the Wyoming State
Director within 90 days from the date of
publication of this notice. If the
authorized officer determines that a
public meeting will be held, a notice of
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the time and place will be published in
the Federal Register at least 30 days
before the scheduled date of the
meeting.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review at the BLM
Kemmerer Field Office, 312 Highway
189 North, Kemmerer, Wyoming, during
regular business hours. 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.
A right-of-way or cooperative
agreement would not provide the
necessary administrative controls to
adequately protect, develop and manage
the area in conjunction with, and on the
same basis as, the rest of the Refuge or
for the purposes for which the Refuge
was established.
There are no suitable alternative sites
as the land described lies within the
approved boundary of Cokeville
Meadows National Wildlife Refuge.
No additional water rights, other than
those currently existing on the lands so
described are required, to manage the
lands as part of the Cokeville Meadows
National Wildlife Refuge.
The proposed withdrawal will be
processed in accordance with the
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part
2300.
For a period of two years from the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 43
CFR 2310.2(a), the land will be
segregated from settlement, sale,
location and entry under the general
land laws including the mining laws,
but not the mineral leasing laws, unless
the application is denied or canceled or
the proposed withdrawal is approved
prior to that date.
During the segregative period, the
Bureau of Land Management may, after
consulting with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, allow uses of a
temporary nature that are compatible
with the purposes for which Cokeville
Meadows National Wildlife Refuge was
established.
