SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
Arizona State Director signed the ROD
on October 24, 2019 to amend the
Phoenix, Lower Sonoran and Safford
Resource Management Plans (RMPs) to
change the land tenure status of all the
Selected Lands originally considered to
be exchanged (10,976 acres) from
‘‘retention’’ to ‘‘available for disposal’’
(approximately 9,906 acres in the
Phoenix RMP (1989); approximately 637
acres in the Lower Sonoran RMP (2012);
and approximately 433 acres in the
Safford RMP (1992, 1994)). The ROD
also approved a land exchange between
ASARCO LLC and the BLM for 9,339
acres (7,196 acres of full estate and
2,143 acres of subsurface mineral estate
only) of BLM-administered public lands
ADDRESSES:

for acquisition by ASARCO in exchange
for approximately 7,298 acres (6,938 of
full estate, and 360 of surface estate
only) of private land. Implementation of
the ROD occurs only upon expiration of
the 45-day protest period for the land
exchange (43 CFR 2201.7–1) and the
resolution of any protests.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
appeal, you should be aware that your
entire protest—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your protest to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Under the approved Ray Land
Exchange with ASARCO LLC, the BLM
acquires 7,298 acres of land in Pinal and
Mohave Counties, consolidating
checkerboard land ownership in those
areas and improving access to existing
public lands for hunting and other types
of recreation. In exchange, the BLM
transfers to ASARCO 9,339 acres of
surface and subsurface estate near
ASARCO’s Ray Mine Complex and
Copper Butte properties in Pinal and
Gila Counties, near Kearny. Since the
public lands appraised at a higher value
than the private lands, to equalize the
value, the BLM will accept a cash
payment of the maximum allowable
amount (25 percent of the value of the
federal lands) from ASARCO.
Approximately 1,637 acres of surface
and sub-surface estate originally
selected by ASARCO will remain under
BLM ownership.
The Ray Land Exchange
Supplemental EIS/Plan Amendment
was developed with stakeholder
dialogue throughout the planning
process. The BLM was not required to
conduct scoping for the Supplemental
EIS. However, the agency has conducted
public outreach activities to inform the
public and answer questions regarding
E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM
04NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 213 / Monday, November 4, 2019 / Notices
the proposed land exchange. The efforts
included conducting four public
meetings, updating the mailing list for
the project, contacting mailing list
persons via postcard and newsletter,
providing a detailed project website,
and interviewing key stakeholders to
present details of the land exchange and
answer questions. The BLM also put the
Draft Supplemental EIS out for a 90-day
public comment period and responsed
to comments in the Final Supplemental
EIS. The Final Supplemental EIS/
Proposed Plan Amendment was
published on July 12, 2019.
The Ray Land Exchange Final
Supplemental EIS/Proposed Plan
Amendment required a 30-day protest
period after publication of the Final
Supplemental EIS. During the 30-day
protest period, the BLM Director
received one protest letter. Three of the
protest points in the protest letter were
remanded back to the State Director for
resolution. These three protest points
are resolved in the ROD. In addition, the
protest letter contained comments on
the Final Supplemental EIS. The
majority of these comments were
previously addressed in the Final
Supplemental EIS as response to
comments on the Draft Supplemental
EIS and responses are captured in
Appendix J of the Final Supplemental
EIS. Some comments required
additional explanation and clarification
in the ROD. Neither the protests nor the
comments required changes to the Final
Supplemental EIS.
The BLM prepared an errata sheet to
the Final Supplemental EIS to make
some clarifications on BLM’s subsurface
estate acreage. No comments regarding
potential inconsistencies with State and
local plans, programs, and policies were
received from the Governor’s Office
during the Governor’s Consistency
Review process.
