horned lark habitat. It is expected that
streaked horned larks would leave the
site before development of the SW Quad
occurs. The Port of Portland would not
establish the Sandy Island Conservation
Area to provide conservation benefits to
streaked horned larks. Without active
site management to maintain and
improve suitable streaked horned lark
habitat at this site, increasing levels of
encroaching vegetation would naturally
transition out of suitable and occupied
habitat.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The United States Forest
Service (USFS) has filed an application
with the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) requesting that the Secretary of
the Interior withdraw, for a 20-year
term, approximately 30,370 acres of
National Forest System lands from
location and entry under the United
States mining laws, but not from leasing
under mineral and geothermal laws. The
purpose of the withdrawal is to protect
and preserve the scenic integrity,
important wildlife corridors, and high
quality recreation values of the Emigrant
Crevice area located in the Custer
Gallatin National Forest, Park County,
Montana. Publication of this notice
temporarily segregates the lands for up
to 2 years from location and entry under
the United States mining laws while the
withdrawal application is being
processed. The lands have been and will
remain open to such forms of
disposition as may be allowed by law on
National Forest System lands, and to
leasing under the mineral and
geothermal leasing laws. This notice
also gives the public an opportunity to
comment on the withdrawal
application, and announces the date,
time and location of the public meeting.
DATES: Comments must be received by
February 21, 2017. The USFS will hold
a public meeting in connection with the
proposed withdrawal on January 18,
2017.

filed in Park County, Montana, July 22,

The areas described aggregate
approximately 1,668 acres in Park
County.
The purpose of the requested
withdrawal is to protect and preserve
the areas scenic integrity, important
wildlife corridors, and high quality
recreation values. The use of a right-ofway, interagency agreement, or
cooperative agreement would not
adequately constrain non-discretionary
uses and would not provide adequate
protection for these areas.
No alternative sites are feasible
because the lands subject to the
withdrawal application are the lands for
which protection is sought from the
impacts of exploration and development
under the United States mining laws.
No water will be needed to fulfill the
purpose of the requested withdrawal.
Records related to the application
may be examined by contacting either of
the individuals listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above.
For a period until February 21, 2017,
all persons who wish to submit
comments, suggestions, or objections in
connection with the withdrawal
application may present their views in

Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other

While you can ask us to withhold your

public review, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to do so.
Notice is hereby given that a public
meeting in connection with the
application for withdrawal will be held
at the Shane Center, 415 E Lewis St.,
Livingston, Montana 59407 on January
18, 2017 from 4–7 p.m. The USFS will
publish a notice of the time and place
in a local newspaper at least 30 days
before the scheduled date of the
meeting.
For a period until November 23, 2018,
subject to valid existing rights, the
National Forest System lands described
in this notice will be segregated from
location and entry under the United
States mining laws, unless the
application is denied or canceled or the
withdrawal is approved prior to that
date. All other activities currently
consistent with the Forest plan could
continue, including public recreation
and other activities compatible with
preservation of the character of the area,
subject to discretionary approval, during
the temporary segregation period.
The application will be processed in
accordance with the regulations set
forth in 43 CFR part 2300.

Wormsbecker Boundary Adjustment Tract, Certificate of Survey No.
792BA, filed in Park County, Montana, July 22, 1985, Document No.
186782.
The areas described aggregate approximately 1,668 acres in Park
County.
The purpose of the requested withdrawal is to protect and preserve
the areas scenic integrity, important wildlife corridors, and high
quality recreation values. 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 for these
areas.
No alternative sites are feasible because the lands subject to the
withdrawal application are the lands for which protection is sought
from the impacts of exploration and development under the United States
mining laws. No water will be needed to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal.
Records related to the application may be examined by contacting
either of the individuals listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.
For a period until February 21, 2017, all persons who wish to
submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the
withdrawal application may present their views in writing to the Forest
Supervisor, Custer Gallatin National Forest at the address noted above.
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review at the address indicated above during
regular business hours.
Before including your address, phone number, email 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 to withhold your personal identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Notice is hereby given that a public meeting in connection with the
application for withdrawal will be held at the Shane Center, 415 E
Lewis St., Livingston, Montana 59407 on January 18, 2017 from 4-7 p.m.
The USFS will publish a notice of the time and place in a local
newspaper at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
For a period until November 23, 2018, subject to valid existing
rights, the National Forest System lands described in this notice will
be segregated from location and entry under the United States mining
laws, unless the application is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is
approved prior to that date. All other activities currently consistent
with the Forest plan could continue, including public recreation and
other activities compatible with preservation of the character of the
area, subject to discretionary approval, during the temporary
segregation period.
The application will be processed in accordance with the
regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.
Kimberly O. Prill,
Chief, Branch of Realty, Lands and Renewable Energy.
