pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY: Minerals Management Service
(MMS), Interior.
ACTION: Notice summarizing review of
the maximum daily civil penalty
assessment.
SUMMARY: The Outer Continental Shelf
Lands Act requires the MMS to review
the maximum daily civil penalty
assessment for violations of regulations
governing oil and gas operations in the
Outer Continental Shelf at least once
every 3 years. This review ensures that
the maximum penalty assessment
reflects any increases in the Consumer
Price Index as prepared by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of
Labor. After conducting the required
review in August 2009, the MMS
determined that no adjustment is
necessary at this time.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joanne McCammon, Safety and
Enforcement Branch at (703) 787–1292
or e-mail at
Joanne.McCammon@mms.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The goal
of the MMS Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Civil Penalty Program is to ensure
safe and clean operations on the OCS.
By assessing and collecting civil
penalties, the program is designed to
encourage compliance with OCS
statutes and regulations. Not all
regulatory violations warrant a review to
initiate civil penalty proceedings;
however, violations that cause injury,
death, or environmental damage, or
pose a threat to human life or the
environment, will trigger such review.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA
90) (Pub. L. 101–380) expanded and
strengthened MMS’s authority to
impose penalties for violating
regulations promulgated under the OCS
Lands Act. Section 8201 of OPA 90,
which amended section 24(b) of the
OCS Lands Act, 43 U.S.C. 1350(b),
directs the Secretary of the Interior to
adjust the maximum civil penalty
amount at least once every 3 years to
reflect any increases in the Consumer
Price Index (CPI). The purpose of this
adjustment is to ensure that punitive
assessments keep up with inflation. If
an adjustment is necessary, MMS
informs the public through publication
in the Federal Register of the new
maximum amount. The MMS uses
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) guidelines for determining how
penalty amounts should be rounded.
The MMS published regulations
adjusting the civil penalty assessment to
$25,000 per violation per day on August
8, 1997 (62 FR 42667); to $30,000 on
October 29, 2003 (68 FR 61622); and to
$35,000 on February 28, 2007 (72 FR
8897). In August 2009, MMS performed
computations to determine if it should
increase the current maximum civil
penalty amount of $35,000 per violation
per day. After running the
computations, the MMS determined that
the CPI did not increase enough to
warrant raising the maximum civil
penalty amount at this time. The MMS
will monitor the CPI, and when the
computations justify raising the
maximum civil penalty amount, the
MMS will publish a Notice in the
Federal Register to notify the public of
the increase.
Authority: 43 U.S.C. 1350.

Notice of Proposed Withdrawal

Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary of the
Interior—Land and Minerals
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Management proposes to extend the
duration of Public Land Order (PLO)
No. 6797 for an additional 20-year term.
PLO No. 6797 withdrew 9,609.74 acres
of public mineral estate from location or
entry under the United States mining
laws (30 U.S.C. Ch.2), to protect the
Whiskey Mountain Bighorn Sheep
Winter Range in Fremont County. 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
April 8, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting
requests should be sent to the BLM
Wyoming State Director, P.O. Box 1828,
Cheyenne, Wyoming 82003–1828.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Janelle Wrigley, BLM Wyoming State
Office, 307–775–6257, or at the above
address.
The
withdrawal created by PLO No. 6797 (55
FR 37878 (1990)) will expire September
13, 2010, unless extended. PLO No.
6797 is incorporated herein by
reference. The BLM has filed a petition/
application to extend PLO No. 6797 for
an additional 20-year term. The
withdrawal was made to protect the
bighorn sheep winter range and capital
investments on the land described in
the PLO at 55 FR 37878 (1990). The area
aggregates 9,609.74 acres in Fremont
County, Wyoming.
The purpose of the proposed
extension is to continue the withdrawal
created by PLO No. 6797 for an
additional 20-year term to protect the
Whiskey Mountain Bighorn Sheep
Winter Range and capital investments in
the area.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency,
or cooperative agreement would not
adequately constrain nondiscretionary
uses which could result in the
permanent loss of significant values and
irreplaceable resources of the range.
There are no suitable alternative sites
since the lands described herein contain
the area that has historically been used
as bighorn sheep winter range, due to its
physical characteristics, and because of
the local weather conditions.
No water rights would be needed to
fulfill the purpose of the requested
withdrawal extension.
Records relating to the application
may be examined by contacting Janelle
Wrigley at the above address or by
phone at 307–775–6257 or by contacting
the BLM Field Manager, Lander Field
Office, 1335 Main Street, Lander,
Wyoming 82520 or by phone at 307–
332–8400.

SUMMARY: The United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service
has filed an application with the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) that
proposes to extend the duration of
Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6884 for
an additional 20-year period. This order
withdrew approximately 1,855 acres of
National Forest System land from
surface entry and mining—but not from
mineral leasing laws—to protect the
recreational values of the Kenai River
Recreation Area, the Russian River
Campground Area, and the Lower
Russian Lake Recreation Area. This
notice 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
April 8, 2010.
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 99513–7504.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ramona Chinn, BLM Alaska State
Office, 907–271–3806 or at the address
above.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
withdrawal, created by PLO No. 6884
(56 FR 49847, (1991)), will expire on
October 1, 2011, unless extended. The
USDA Forest Service has filed an
application to extend the withdrawal for
an additional 20-year period to protect
the recreational values of the Kenai
River Recreation Area, the Russian River
Campground Area, and the Lower
Russian Lake Recreation Area.
This withdrawal comprises
approximately 1,855 acres of National
Forest System land located in the
Chugach National Forest, within Tps. 4
and 5 N., R. 4 W., Seward Meridian, as
described in PLO No. 6884, as corrected
(56 FR 56275 (1991)).
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
vegetative resources other than under
the mining laws.
The use of a right-of-way or
interagency or cooperative agreement
would not adequately protect the
recreational values of the Kenai River
Recreation Area, the Russian River
Campground Area, and the Lower
Russian Lake Recreation Area.
