ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of the
Air Force (USAF) has filed an
application with the Bureau of Land
Management that proposes to extend the
duration of Public Land Order (PLO)
No. 6705 for an additional 20-year
period. PLO No. 6705 withdrew
approximately 3,630 acres of public
land from surface entry and mining, to
protect the USAF Beaver Creek Research
Site. The land has been and will remain
closed to mineral leasing. This notice
also 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 June
13, 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. 6705 (54
FR 978, January 11, 1989), will expire
on January 10, 2009, unless extended.
The USAF has filed an application to
extend PLO No. 6705 for an additional
20-year period to protect the integrity of
the information being monitored by
seismic equipment at the USAF Beaver
Creek Research Site. This withdrawal
comprises approximately 3,630 acres of
public land located within:
Copper River Meridian
T.15 N., R. 19 E.,
Secs. 14, 15, secs. 20 to 29, inclusive,
Secs. 33 and 34, and is described in PLO
No. 6705 (54 FR 978, January 11, 1989).
A complete description, along with all
other records pertaining to the extension
application, can be examined in 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
land under lease, license, or permit or
governing the disposal of the mineral or
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
vegetative resources other than under
the mining and mineral leasing laws.
The use of a right-of-way or
interagency or cooperative agreement
would not adequately protect the
Federal investment in the Beaver Creek
Research Site.
There are no suitable alternative sites
available since the Beaver Creek
Research Site is already constructed on
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).
(Authority: 43 CFR 2310.3–1(b)).
Dated: November 2, 2006.
Carolyn J. Spoon,
Chief, Branch of Lands and Realty.
