Sec. 36, all.
The areas described aggregate 7,779 acres,
more or less.
In the event that these non-federally
owned lands return to public ownership
in the future, they would be subject to
the terms and conditions described
above in ‘‘1. Federally owned surface
and mineral estate.’’
The purpose of the proposed
legislative withdrawal is to withdraw
and reserve the lands for use as a
military training range, involving livefire exercises, necessary for national
security. The legislative withdrawal
would provide sufficient area for
realistic integrated training to a Marine
Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) sized
Marine Air Ground Task Force, the
USMC’s premier force for responding to
smaller scale contingencies. Effective
training of MEBs is critical to ensuring
the full spectrum of military operations.
The withdrawal would be established
by an Act of Congress, and approved by
the President. The duration of the
legislative withdrawal would be
determined by Congress. The
Department of the Navy has indicated
that the use of a right-of-way or
cooperative agreement would not
provide adequate authorization for
safety and control of access for the use
of these lands due to the broad scope of
military training exercises.
The USMC analyzed alternative sites
in three regions of the United States
(i.e., Middle Atlantic Coast—North
Carolina and Virginia; Gulf of Mexico—
Florida and Louisiana; and Southwest—
California and Arizona). The USMC
concluded that expanding the USMC’s
MCAGCC, located in Twentynine
Palms, California was the only
reasonable and feasible option. The
lands hereinabove described, have been
selected by the USMC for the proposed
legislative withdrawal, because they are
located adjacent to the existing exterior
boundaries of the USMC’s MCAGCC,
located in Twentynine Palms,
California. The application and the
records relating to the application can
be examined by interested persons at
the BLM Barstow Field Office, 2601
Barstow Road, Barstow, California
92311.
On or before December 15, 2008, all
persons who wish to submit comments,
suggestions, or objections in connection

with the proposed legislative
withdrawal may present their views in
writing to the BLM, Field Manager,
Barstow Field Office, 2601 Barstow
Road, Barstow, California 92311.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review at the BLM
Barstow Field Office at the address
above during regular business hours.
Before including your address,
telephone 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 us in your
comment to withhold from public
review your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
This withdrawal proposal will be
processed in accordance with the
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part
2300.
Until September 15, 2010, the lands
will be segregated as specified above
unless the withdrawal application is
denied or canceled or the withdrawal is
approved prior to that date. Land uses
currently authorized or permitted may
continue during the segregation period.
If the proposed legislative withdrawal
has been submitted to Congress but not
enacted into law by the end of the 2year segregation period, consideration
will be given to entertaining an
application for a temporary withdrawal
in aid of pending legislation.
During the segregation period, BLM
may, after consulting with the USMC,
allow uses of a temporary nature that
are compatible with the military
purposes for which the land is being
withdrawn.
