related to this action, including the
environmental assessment, is available
for review at 1235 La Plata
Highway,Farmington, NM 87401.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Publication of this notice segregates
the public land described above from all
other forms of appropriation under the
public land laws, including the general
mining laws, except for leasing and
conveyance under the Recreation and
Public Purposes Act and leasing under
the mineral leasing laws.
The lease, when issued, will be
subject to the following terms:
1. The Recreation and Public
Purposes Act and to all applicable
regulations of the Secretary of the
Interior.
2. The Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 6901–6987 and the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA) as amended, 42
U.S.C. 9601 and all applicable
regulations.
3. Provisions of Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964.
4. Provisions that the lease be
operated in compliance with the
approved Development Plan.
The patent document, when issued,
will be subject to the provisions of the
R&PP Act and applicable regulations of
the Secretary of the Interior and will
contain the following terms, conditions,
and reservations to the United States:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches
or canals constructed by the authority of
the United States, Act of August 30,
1890 (43 U.S.C. 945).
2. All minerals, together with the right
to prospect for, mine, and remove such
deposits from the lands under
applicable law and such regulations as
the Secretary of the Interior may
prescribe.
3. All valid existing rights, e.g., rightsof-way and leases of record.
Provisions that if the patentee or its
successor attempts to transfer title to or
control over the land to another or the
land is devoted to a use other than that
for which the land was conveyed,
without the consent of the Secretary of
the Interior or his delegate, or prohibits
or restricts, directly or indirectly, or
permits it agents, employees,
contractors, or subcontractors, including
without limitation, lessees, sublessees
and permittees, to prohibit or restrict,

directly or indirectly, the use of any part
of the patented lands or any of the
facilities whereon by any person
because of such person’s race, creed,
sex, color, or national origin, title shall
revert to the United States.
The lands are not needed for Federal
purposes. Leasing and later patenting is
consistent with current Bureau of Land
Management policies and land use
planning. The proposal serves the
public interest since it would provide
the animal shelter building with
attached outdoor kennels, an
employee’s courtyard and a public ‘‘get
acquainted’’ courtyard and any other
facilities and related buildings that
would meet the needs of the animal
shelter. Associated parking would be
constructed for the clinic building.
Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, the above described
public lands will be segregated from all
other forms of appropriation under the
public land laws, including the general
mining laws, except for patent under the
R&PP Act and leasing under the mineral
leasing laws.
Classification Comments: Interested
parties may submit comments involving
the suitability of the land for
conveyance. Comments on the
classification are restricted to whether
the land is physically suited for the
proposal, whether the use will
maximize the future uses of the land,
whether the use is consistent with local
planning and zoning, or if the use is
consistent with state and Federal
programs.
Conveyance Comments: Interested
parties may submit comments regarding
the patent and the specific use proposed
in the application and plan of
development, whether the BLM
followed proper administrative
procedures in reaching the decision, or
any other factor not directly related to
the suitability of the land for R&PP use.
Confidentiality of Comments: Before
including your address, phone number,
e-mail address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Any adverse comments will be
reviewed by the Farmington Field
Manager, who may sustain, vacate, or
modify this realty action. In the absence
of any adverse comments, the
classification of the land described in
this notice will become effective on

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for the Draft General Management Plan,
Fort Stanwix National Monument, New
York.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4332(2)(c) the National Park
Service (NPS) announces the
availability of a Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Draft
General Management Plan (GMP) for
Fort Stanwix National Monument,
located in the city of Rome, New York.
Consistent with National Park Service
rules, regulations, and policies, and the
park’s mission, the Draft GMP/EIS
describes and analyzes two alternatives
to guide the management and
development of Fort Stanwix National
Monument over the next 15 to 20 years.
The alternatives incorporate various
management prescriptions to ensure
protection and enjoyment of the park’s
resources. The Draft GMP/EIS evaluates
potential environmental consequences
of implementing the alternatives. Impact
topics include cultural and natural
resources, visitor experience, park
operations, and the socioeconomic
environment.
NPS regional planning staff and staff
at Fort Stanwix NM collaborated in the
development of the Draft GMP/EIS. The
main issues that the Draft GMP/EIS has
focused on have included protection of
cultural resources, visitor services,
partnership opportunities, carrying
capacity, and the lack of a properly
defined boundary. Alternative 1: No
Action focuses on basically maintaining
current management, protection, and
interpretive practices and interpreting
the siege of Fort Stanwix in the
Revolutionary War. Alternative 2:
Action Alternative seeks to broaden
interpretation of Fort Stanwix in the
