National Forest System land from
mining, but not from mineral leasing, to
protect the scientific values of the
Sacramento Peak Observatory located in
the Lincoln National Forest. PLO No.
7296 will expire on November 28, 2017,
unless extended. This notice gives the
public an opportunity to comment on
the application and to request a public
meeting. This notice also amends the
number of acres subject to PLO No.
7296. The number of acres that are
subject to the withdrawal has been
increased due to previously unsurveyed
sections being surveyed since the
withdrawal was originally created.
DATES: Comments and public meeting
requests must be received by November
28, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments and public
meeting requests should be sent to State
Director, BLM, New Mexico State
Office, P.O. Box 27115, Santa Fe, New
Mexico 87502.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jeanette Martinez, BLM New Mexico
State Office, 505–954–2040, or via email
at jeanette@blm.gov. Persons who use
telecommunications device for the deaf
(TDD) may call the Federal Relay
Services at 1–800–877–8339 to reach the
BLM contact person. The Service is
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
to leave a message or question for the
above individual. You will receive a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USFS
has filed an application requesting that
the Secretary of the Interior extend the
withdrawal created by PLO 7396 (62 FR
63380 (1997)) for an additional 20-year
term. PLO 7296 withdrew
approximately 2,432.40 acres of
National Forest System land from
mining to protect the scientific values
associated with the continued operation
of the Sacramento Peak Observatory.
Subsequent surveys of unsurveyed
sections 28 and 33 revealed the area
subject to the withdrawal contains
2,489.40 acres and is now described as
follows:
New Mexico Principal Meridian

T. 17 S., R. 11. E., sec. 26, SW1⁄4;

and S1⁄2; sec. 34; PB 46 and PB 51, as
depicted on Protraction Diagram
approved June 18, 2003.
The area described contains 2,489.40
acres in Otero County. This legal
description is identical in size, shape,
and location as the description in PLO
No. 7296, as published in the Federal
Register (62 FR 63380 (1997)). Portions
of the withdrawal originally described

as sec. 28, E1⁄2NE1⁄4 and S1⁄2,
unsurveyed, and sec. 33, unsurveyed,
are now identified as PB 46 and PB 51,
respectively.
The purpose of the proposed
extension is to ensure the continued
protection of the scientific value of the
Sacramento Peak Observatory. This
includes the protection of the area from
pollution, dust, vibration, and light that
would interfere with the operation of
the highly sensitive components of the
Observatory.
No suitable alternative sites exist as
the infrastructure investments of the
SPO are in place at the optimal position
for the type of activity ongoing at this
site. The use of a right-of-way,
interagency agreement, or cooperative
agreement would not provide adequate
protection.
The USFS would not need to acquire
additional water rights to fulfill the
purpose of the requested extension.
Records pertaining to the extension
application can be examined by
contacting Jeanette Martinez in the BLM
New Mexico State Office at the address
or phone number shown above.
For a period until November 28, 2017,
all persons who wish to submit
comments, suggestions, or objections in
connection with the withdrawal
extension application may present their
views in writing to the BLM New
Mexico State Director at the address
indicated above. Comments, including
names and street addresses of
respondents, will be available for public
review at the address listed above
during regular business hours. Be
advised that your entire comment,

opportunity for a public meeting is

withdrawal extension application. All
interested parties who desire a public
meeting for the purpose of being heard
on the withdrawal extension application
must submit a written request to the
BLM New Mexico State Director at the
