SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers has filed an application
requesting the Secretary of the Interior
to withdraw 79.60 acres of public land
from surface entry and transfer
jurisdiction of the land from the Bureau
of Land Management to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers for 20 years to
protect the Eufaula Lake Project. The
land, previously withdrawn by Public
Land Order (PLO) No. 6622, which
expired August 5, 2006, is not subject to
the United States mining laws and has
been and will remain open to mineral
leasing.
DATES: Comments and requests for a
public meeting must be received by May
29, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting
requests should be sent to the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District,
Attn: Real Estate Division, 1645 South
101st East Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74128–
4609.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bob
Hinds at the address above or (918) 669–
7257 or Ron Dunton, BLM New Mexico
State Office, 1474 Rodeo Road, Santa Fe,
New Mexico 87502 at (505) 438–7400.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers has filed an
application with the Bureau of Land
Management, pursuant to Section 204 of
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C.
1714, to withdraw the land described
below from settlement, sale, location or
entry under the general land laws and
transfer jurisdiction of the land to the
U.S. Corps of Engineers. The land is not
subject to the United States mining laws
and has been and will remain open to
mineral leasing. The proposed
withdrawal would replace the
withdrawal created by PLO No. 6622 (51
FR 28229) which expired August 5,
2006. The public land proposed for
continued withdrawal is described as
follows:
Indian Meridian
T. 5 N., R. 16 E.,
Sec. 2, lot 3 and SE1⁄4NW1⁄4.
The area described contains 79.60 acres in
Pittsburg County.
The purpose of the proposed
withdrawal is to continue protection of
the Federal investment in the Eufaula
Lake Project.
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 the mineral or vegetative
resources.
The use of a right-of-way or
interagency or cooperative agreement
would not adequately constrain
PO 00000
Frm 00101
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
nondiscretionary uses and therefore
would not provide adequate protection
of the Federal investment in the Eufaula
Lake Project.
There are no suitable alternative sites
available since the Eufaula Lake Project
is already located on the abovedescribed public land.
No additional water rights would be
necessary to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal.
Records relating to the proposed
withdrawal may be examined by
interested parties by contacting Bob
Hinds at the address above or (918) 669–
7257.
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
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the
address noted above.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review at the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers at the above
address during regular business hours,
7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except holidays. Before
including your address, phone number,
e-mail address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, be advised that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold from public review your
personal identifying information, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so. 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. 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 U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers at the address above 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 the time and place will
be published in the Federal Register at
least 30 days before the scheduled date
of the meeting. This withdrawal
proposal will be processed in
accordance with the applicable
regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.

For a period of 2 years from the date
of publication of this notice in the

Final Environmental Impact
Statement\General Management Plan;
Ebey’s Landing National Historical
Reserve, Island County, Washington;
Notice of Approval of Record of
Decision
Summary: Pursuant to § 102(2)(C) of
the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as amended)
and the implementing regulations
promulgated by the Council on
Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1505.2),
the Department of the Interior, National
Park Service, has prepared, and the
Regional Director, Pacific West Region,
has approved, the Record of Decision for
the new General Management Plan for
Ebey’s Landing National Historical
Reserve. The 30-day wait period was
officially initiated October 13, 2006,
with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s Federal Register notification
of the filing of the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS).
Decision: As soon as practicable the
Reserve will begin to implement as its
new General Management Plan the
Preferred Alternative (with minor
modifications from Alternative B as
described in the Draft and Final EIS);
this alternative was also deemed to be
the ‘‘environmentally preferred’’ course
of action. The selected plan features an
overlay of four management zones on
the Reserve: (i) Cultural and Natural
Preservation Zone, (ii) Visitor Use and
Development Zone, (iii) Administrative
Zone, and (iv) Special Use Zone—these
zones are identified based on resource

condition or character, visitor
experience and appropriate types of
activities or facilities criteria. The new
plan enhances existing programs,
natural and cultural resource
management, and administrative and
maintenance operations. An integrated
pest management program will be
implemented in concert with Reserve
landowners and other partners. Visitor
services within the Reserve are
improved, and information kiosks
would be installed along State Route 20
in the Smith Prairie area and at a
northern gateway location, and at the
Keystone and/or Port Townsend ferry
landings. The Trust Board shall
continue to be responsible for setting
the policies and general actions for the
Reserve consistent with the Reserve’s
enabling legislation, GMP, and relevant
NPS policies and guidelines. This
includes continuing the NPS’s annual
appraisal of Reserve management and
operations under the enabling
legislation. The Trust Board would
continue to oversee management and
protection of lands (including fee and
easements) purchased with federal
money, administer programs and
technical support, participate in local
land use review processes, and advocate
for and support the Reserve. The
Reserve Manager continues to be
employed by and report directly to the
Trust Board (in turn, the Trust Board
will conduct annual operations and staff
performance reviews and submit these
to the Deputy Regional Director, Pacific
West).
Based upon public comments and
refinements desired by the planning
team collaborative, the selected plan
includes several modifications from the
Preferred Alternative as detailed in the
Final EIS, including but not limited to:
the GMP will incorporate certain
historic preservation and land use
protection measures which were
adopted by Island County after the EIS
process was begun; the development of
a marine science center by nonprofits
will be encouraged; proposed Reserve
staff additions over the next 20 years are
reduced to five. Also, since release of
the draft GMP, Bell Farm was removed
from the proposed boundary
modification at the owner’s request.
The proposed plan and three
alternatives were identified and
analyzed in the Final EIS, and
previously in the Draft EIS (the latter
was distributed in August 2005). A
broad spectrum of foreseeable
environmental consequences was
assessed, and appropriate mitigation
measures identified, for each
alternative. Beginning with early
scoping, through the preparation of the
PO 00000
Frm 00102
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
8779
Draft and Final EIS, a series of public
meetings and open-houses was
conducted locally. Overall
approximately 40 written scoping
comments and 250 written or electronic
Draft EIS review comments were
received (as noted above, the latter
served as the source of several minor
adjustments to the final selected plan).
Key consultations or other contacts that
aided in preparing the EIS involved (but
were not limited to) Island County and
Town of Coupeville officials, Ebey’s
Landing Trust Board, Washington State
Historic Preservation Office, the
Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, National Marine Fisheries
Service, tribal governments, and
adjoining land managing agencies. Local
community groups and neighbors,
farmers and local business owners, and
interested organizations were contacted
extensively during initial scoping and
throughout the GMP planning process.

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has filed an application
requesting the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw 79.60 acres of
public land from surface entry and transfer jurisdiction of the land
from the Bureau of Land Management to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
for 20 years to protect the Eufaula Lake Project. The land, previously
withdrawn by Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6622, which expired August 5,
2006, is not subject to the United States mining laws and has been and
will remain open to mineral leasing.
DATES: Comments and requests for a public meeting must be received by
May 29, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, Attn: Real Estate Division,
1645 South 101st East Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74128-4609.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bob Hinds at the address above or
(918) 669-7257 or Ron Dunton, BLM New Mexico State Office, 1474 Rodeo
Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87502 at (505) 438-7400.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has filed
an application with the Bureau of Land Management, pursuant to Section
204 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C.
1714, to withdraw the land described below from settlement, sale,
location or entry under the general land laws and transfer jurisdiction
of the land to the U.S. Corps of Engineers. The land is not subject to
the United States mining laws and has been and will remain open to
mineral leasing. The proposed withdrawal would replace the withdrawal
created by PLO No. 6622 (51 FR 28229) which expired August 5, 2006. The
public land proposed for continued withdrawal is described as follows:
Indian Meridian
T. 5 N., R. 16 E.,
Sec. 2, lot 3 and SE\1/4\NW\1/4\.
The area described contains 79.60 acres in Pittsburg County.
The purpose of the proposed withdrawal is to continue protection of
the Federal investment in the Eufaula Lake Project.
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 the mineral or vegetative resources.
The use of a right-of-way or interagency or cooperative agreement
would not adequately constrain nondiscretionary uses and therefore
would not provide adequate protection of the Federal investment in the
Eufaula Lake Project.
There are no suitable alternative sites available since the Eufaula
Lake Project is already located on the above-described public land.
No additional water rights would be necessary to fulfill the
purpose of the requested withdrawal.
Records relating to the proposed withdrawal may be examined by
interested parties by contacting Bob Hinds at the address above or
(918) 669-7257.
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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the address
noted above.
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will
be available for public review at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at
the above address during regular business hours, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying
information in your comment, be advised that your entire comment--
including your personal identifying information--may be made publicly
available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold
from public review your personal identifying information, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so. 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. 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 U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers at the address above 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 the time and place will be

date of the meeting. This withdrawal proposal will be processed in
accordance with the applicable regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.
