SUMMARY: The Act of March 22, 1944 (58
Stat. 119) withdrew approximately
3,235 acres of land within the Cascade
Creek watershed of the Tongass
National Forest as a municipal
watershed for the City and Borough of
Sitka. The Act provided that the
withdrawal would terminate upon a
finding by the Secretary of Agriculture
of an abandonment and nonuse for a
period of two years. With the
concurrence of the City and Borough of
Sitka, a finding of such abandonment
and nonuse is being made and the
withdrawal terminated.
DATES: This finding is effective on the
date of this notice.

Monday through Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Act of March 22, 1944 (58 Stat.
119), certain lands within the Tongass
National Forest in the State of Alaska
comprising approximately 3,235 acres
in the watershed of Cascade Creek were
withdrawn from all forms of location,
entry or appropriation under the
mineral and nonmineral land laws of
the United States and were set aside as
a municipal water supply reserve for the
use and benefit of the City of Sitka. The
Act further provides that the right of the
City of Sitka to use the reserved land for
watershed purposes shall terminate
upon the abandonment of the use by
such municipality upon a finding of the
Secretary of Agriculture of such nonuse
or abandonment for a period of two
years. In such case, the reservation
created by the Act shall terminate to the
extent of the lands involved.
The City and Borough of Sitka has
notified the Forest Service by letter
dated January 22, 2007, that it
relinquishes any interests in the lands
identified in the Cascade Creek. This
relinquishment is a restatement of an
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
earlier relinquishment dated December
23, 1996, but heretofore not acted upon.
The City states that it has developed a
primary municipal water supply from
Blue Lake as well as a secondary
emergency water supply from Indian
River. Therefore, Cascade Creek is no
longer needed for such purposes.
Based on the foregoing, as authorized
by section 2 of the Act of March 22,
1944 (58 Stat. 119), I find that the lands
described in section 1 of said Act,
comprising approximately 3,235 acres of
the Cascade Creek watershed in the
Tongass National Forest, have not been
used for a period of at least 2 years by
the City and Borough of Sitka, Alaska,
and that the City and Borough have
effectively abandoned such use as
indicated by letters to the Forest Service
dated December 23, 1996 and January
22, 2007. Therefore, the reservation
established by said Act of March 22,
1944 is hereby terminated.
Dated: April 9, 2008.

Deputy Regional Forester.
