In
response to recommendations made by
the Southwest Resource Advisory
Council and other concerned
individuals, clubs, and organizations,
the BLM proposes to change the existing
‘‘Open’’ designation to ‘‘Limited to
Existing’’ for all public lands
administered by the field office. In
addition, the BLM is proposing a
comprehensive travel management plan
establishing a transportation system of
designated roads and trails within the
Dry Creek area.
The proposed action does not affect:
• Travel decisions in the Gunnison
Gorge National Conservation Area.
• North Delta OHV Play Area, which
will be addressed in subsequent travel
management planning.
• Gunnison Travel Interim
Restrictions Plan Amendment area,
which will be addressed in subsequent
travel management planning.
• Other designations such as
‘‘Limited to Existing’’ and ‘‘Limited to
Designated’’ areas in the RMPs. These
areas will be addressed in subsequent
travel management planning.
Preliminary issues and management
concerns have been identified by BLM
personnel, other agencies, and in
meetings with individuals and user
groups. They represent the BLM’s
knowledge to date on the existing issues
and concerns with current management.
Some of these issues and concerns
include:
• Impacts to other public land users
and adjacent private landowners;
• Impacts to wildlife habitat;
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

• Impacts to water quality, cultural
sites, vegetation, including riparian and
wetland areas, and soils; and
• Identification of recreational
opportunities.
These issues, along with others that
may be identified through public
participation, will be considered in the
planning process. The public is
encouraged to help identify issues and
concerns during the scoping phase. The
purpose of the public scoping process is
to determine relevant issues that will
influence the scope of the
environmental analysis and
management alternatives. These issues
will also guide the planning process.
You may submit comments on issues
and planning criteria in writing to the
BLM at any public scoping meeting, or
by using one of the methods listed in
the ADDRESSES section above. The
minutes and list of attendees for each
scoping meeting will be available to the
public and open for 30 days after the
meeting to any participant who wishes
to clarify the views he or she expressed.
An interdisciplinary approach will be
used to develop the plan amendment in
order to consider the variety of resource
issues and concerns identified.
Disciplines involved in the planning
process will include specialists with
expertise in rangeland management,
outdoor recreation, law enforcement,
archaeology, wildlife and fisheries,
lands and realty, hydrology, soils, and
vegetation. Notification of the planning
process will be made to the Governor of
Colorado, County Commissioners, local
tribes, and potentially affected members
of the public.

Notice of Proposed Withdrawal
Extension and Opportunity for Public
Meeting, Colorado
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Interior
proposes to extend the duration of
Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6733 for
an additional 20-year period. PLO No.
6733 withdrew 100 acres of National
Forest System land in Gunnison County,
Colorado, from location and entry under

sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES

the general mining laws for the
protection of the Bureau of Reclamation
Silver Jack Recreation Area. This notice
gives the public 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 June
5, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting
requests should be sent to the State
Director, Colorado State Office, Bureau
of Land Management (BLM), 2850
Youngfield Street, Lakewood, Colorado
80215–7093.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
D. Beck, Branch of Lands and Realty,
Colorado State Office, at 303–239–3882.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
withdrawal created by PLO No. 6733 (54
FR 30213) will expire July 18, 2009,
unless extended by the Secretary of the
Interior pursuant to section 204 of the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714. The public
land withdrew 100 acres of National
Forest land from the mining laws to
protect the BOR Silver Jack Recreation
Area. A legal description of the subject
land can be found in the published
public land order, and if requested,
copies of the order will be provided by
the BLM, Colorado State Office.
As extended, the withdrawal would
not alter the applicability of those land
laws governing the use of the 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 a
cooperative agreement would not
provide adequate protection of the
Federal investment in the area.
There are no suitable alternative sites
as the described lands contain the
facilities and resource values in need of
protection. The withdrawal would not
displace any existing uses.
Water rights 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 in
connection with the proposed
withdrawal extension may present their
views in writing to the BLM, Colorado
State Director at the address above.
Comments, including names and street
addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review during
regular business hours at the BLM
Colorado State Office. Relevant BLM
records as to the BOR application and
comments, including names and street
addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review during

regular business hours at the BLM
Colorado State Office. Individuals 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 persons who desire a public
meeting for the purpose of being heard
on the proposed withdrawal extension
must submit a written request to the
BLM Colorado State Director at the
address given above within 90 days
from the publication of this notice. If the
authorized officer determines 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 application
will be processed in accordance with
the regulations set forth in 43 CFR
2310.4.
(Authority: 43 CFR 2310.3–l (a)).

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection,
Comment Request
Minerals Management Service
(MMS), Interior.
ACTION: Notice of a revision of a
currently approved information
collection (OMB Control Number 1010–
0120).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: To comply with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), we are inviting comments on a
collection of information that we will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
PO 00000
Frm 00133
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The title of this information collection
request (ICR) is ‘‘30 CFR Part 206—
Product Valuation, Subparts F and J;
Part 210—Forms and Reports, Subparts
E and H; and Part 218—Collection of
Royalties, Rentals, Bonuses and Other
Monies Due the Federal Government,
Subpart E.’’ We changed the title of this
ICR to clarify the regulatory language we
are covering under 30 CFR parts 206,
210, and 218 and to reflect OMB
consolidation approval of two solid
mineral-related ICRs. Those ICRs were
titled:
• 1010–0074: 30 CFR Part 206—
Product Valuation, Subpart J—Indian
Coal (Forms MMS–4292, Coal Washing
Allowance Report, and MMS–4293,
Coal Transportation Allowance Report);
and
• 1010–0120: 30 CFR Part 206,
Subpart F—Federal Coal and Subpart
J—Indian Coal; Part 210, Subpart B—
Oil, Gas, and OCS Sulfur—General,
Subpart E—Solid Minerals, General,
Subpart H—Geothermal Resources; Part
218, Subpart B—Oil and Gas, General,
Subpart E—Solid Minerals—General
(Form MMS–4430, Solid Minerals
Production and Royalty Report).
In the two ICRs, much of the general
information was repeated and cross
referenced. This consolidated ICR 1010–
0120 eliminates that duplication of
effort and redundancy of data and also
provides for review of all solids and
geothermal information collection
requirements on a MMS Solids and
Geothermal Compliance and Asset
Management program-wide basis. The
current ICR does not expire until
October 31, 2007 and has a total of 1,751
burden hours as of OMB Notice of
Change dated December 9, 2005, which
consolidated the burden hours from
ICRs 1010–0074 and 1010–0120.
DATES: Submit written comments on or
before May 7, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
to Sharron L. Gebhardt, Lead Regulatory
Specialist, Minerals Management
Service, Minerals Revenue Management,
P.O. Box 25165, MS 302B2, Denver,

courier service or wish to hand-carry

and the OMB control number in the
