exploration and recreational offhighway vehicle use contribute to
habitat decline in the absence of active
management, maintenance and
restorative activities.
• The distribution and abundance of
traditional/edible, medicinal plants is
declining. There is a continued decrease
in pinion tree vigor and pine nut
production as stand densities increase.
• The unresolved eligibility status
and ongoing degradation of the National
Historic Pony Express Trail which
bisects the 3-Bars Project Area, needs to
be considered and mitigated
appropriately in the EIS. These and
other areas of prehistoric and historic
use have not been fully recorded or
analyzed within the project area.
The BLM will use the NEPA
commenting process to satisfy the
public involvement requirements for
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f) as
provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3).
Native American Tribal consultations
will be conducted in accordance with
policy, and Tribal concerns will be
given due consideration. Federal, State,

Notice of Partial Cancellation of
Proposed Withdrawal; California
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of the
Navy (Navy) has requested partial
cancellation of its application of August
13, 2008, which requested the Secretary
of the Interior to process a proposed
legislative withdrawal and reservation
of public lands and public mineral
estate for its use. These lands were to be
withdrawn on behalf of the proposed
expansion of the U. S. Marine Corps’ Air
Ground Combat Center at Twentynine
Palms. The Navy has requested that the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
remove approximately 33,488 acres of
public lands from its application. The
initial application was for the transfer of
jurisdiction and the withdrawal of
approximately 365,906 acres of public
land and approximately 507 acres of
Federal subsurface mineral estate from
all forms of appropriation under the
public land laws, including surface
entry, mining, mineral leasing, and the
Materials Act of 1947. This notice
terminates the temporary two-year
segregation from settlement, sale,
location, or entry under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, and
the operation of the mineral leasing
laws and the Materials Act of 1947 of
the public lands and mineral estate
described below. In addition, the initial
application provisionally identified the
surface estate of 507 acres of federallyowned mineral estate and the surface
and mineral estates of approximately
72,186 acres of non-federally owned
property in the proposed withdrawal
area. If these acres were ever acquired
by or returned to the United States by
any means, they were also to be
included in the proposed withdrawal
and subject to the temporary segregation
authorized by the initial notice. The
Navy has requested that the BLM
remove surface and mineral estates of
approximately 28,871 acres of the nonfederally owned property.
DATES: Effective Date: January 25, 2010.

Notice of Partial Cancellation of Proposed Withdrawal; California
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) has requested partial
cancellation of its application of August 13, 2008, which requested the
Secretary of the Interior to process a proposed legislative withdrawal
and reservation of public lands and public mineral estate for its use.
These lands were to be withdrawn on behalf of the proposed expansion of
the U. S. Marine Corps' Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms.
The Navy has requested that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) remove
approximately 33,488 acres of public lands from its application. The
initial application was for the transfer of jurisdiction and the
withdrawal of approximately 365,906 acres of public land and
approximately 507 acres of Federal subsurface mineral estate from all
forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including surface
entry, mining, mineral leasing, and the Materials Act of 1947. This
notice terminates the temporary two-year segregation from settlement,
sale, location, or entry under the public land laws, including the
mining laws, and the operation of the mineral leasing laws and the
Materials Act of 1947 of the public lands and mineral estate described
below. In addition, the initial application provisionally identified
the surface estate of 507 acres of federally-owned mineral estate and
the surface and mineral estates of approximately 72,186 acres of non-
federally owned property in the proposed withdrawal area. If these
acres were ever acquired by or returned to the United States by any
means, they were also to be included in the proposed withdrawal and
subject to the temporary segregation authorized by the initial notice.
The Navy has requested that the BLM remove surface and mineral estates

provided for such determinations in local courts.
