mineral leasing, except for location and
entry under the mining laws.

resources at the Spanish Creek
Campground. The use of a right-of-way,
interagency agreement, or cooperative
agreement would not adequately
constrain non-discretionary uses and
would not provide adequate protection
of the Federal investment of funds and

alternative sites because the land
described is the only land that
encompasses the Spanish Creek
Campground.
No additional water rights need to be
acquired to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal.

may be examined by contacting either of
the individuals listed in the FOR

personally identifying information from
public review, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to do so.
Notice is hereby given that an
opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the
application for withdrawal. All
interested persons who desire a public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Under 54 U.S.C. 100101 (National
Park Service Act Organic Act), we must
preserve America’s natural wonders
unimpaired for future generations,
while also making them available for the
enjoyment of the visitor. Meeting this
mandate requires that we balance
preservation with use. Maintaining a
good balance requires both information
and limits. In accordance with
regulations at 36 CFR parts 1–7, 13, 20,
and 34, we issue permits for special
park uses.
Special park uses cover a wide range
of activities including, but not limited
to, special events, First Amendment
activities, grazing and agricultural use,
commercial filming, still photography,
construction and vehicle access. Permits
are issued for varying amounts of time
based on the requested use, but
generally do not exceed 5 years. A new
application must be submitted in order
to request the renewal of an existing
permit.
The information we collect in the
special use applications allows park
managers to determine if the requested
