ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Bureau of Land Management,
SUMMARY: On behalf of the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA),
Forest Service, the Bureau of Land
Management proposes to extend the
duration of Public Land Order (PLO)
No. 6676 for an additional 20-year
period. This order withdrew
approximately 600 acres of National
Forest System land from settlement,
sale, location, or entry under the general
land laws, including the United States
mining laws, to protect the Cape
Fanshaw Natural Area. This notice gives
an opportunity to comment on the
proposed action and to request a public
meeting.
DATES: Comments and requests for a
public meeting must be received by May
9, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting
requests should be sent to the Alaska
State Director, BLM Alaska State Office,
222 West 7th Avenue, No. 13,
Anchorage, Alaska 99513–7599.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Terrie D. Evarts, BLM Alaska State
Office, 907–271–5630.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
withdrawal created by PLO No. 6676 (53
FR 18282, May 23, 1988), will expire on
May 22, 2008, unless extended. The
USDA Forest Service has filed an
application to extend the withdrawal for
an additional 20-year period to protect
the natural ecological complex of the
USDA Forest Service Natural Area.
This withdrawal comprises
approximately 600 acres of National
Forest System land located in secs. 3, 4,
9 and 10, T. 54 S., R. 75 E., Copper River
Meridian, and is described in PLO No.
6676. A complete description can be
provided by the BLM Alaska State
Office at the address shown above.
As extended, the withdrawal would
not alter the applicability of those
public land laws governing the use of
National Forest System land under
lease, license, or permit or governing the
disposal of the mineral or vegetative
resources other than under the mining
laws.
The use of a right-of-way or
interagency or cooperative agreement
would not adequately protect the
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Federal investment in the Cape
Fanshaw Natural Area.
There are no suitable alternative sites
available since the Cape Fanshaw
Natural Area is unique and may not be
substituted for the above-described
public land.
No water rights would be needed to
fulfill the purpose of the requested
withdrawal extension.
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 BLM State Director at the address
indicated above. 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 parties who desire a public
meeting for the purpose of being heard
on the proposed withdrawal must
submit a written request to the State
Director at the address indicated above
within 90 days from the publication of
this notice. Upon determination by the
authorized officer that a public meeting
will be held, a notice of the time and
place will be published in the Federal
Register at least 30 days before the
scheduled date of the meeting.
The withdrawal extension proposal
will be processed in accordance with
the regulations set forth in 43 CFR
2310.4 and subject to Section 810 of the
Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 3120
(2000).
