This notice advises the public of an opportunity to comment on the USFS application for the extension of the existing withdrawal for an additional 20 years and to request a public meeting. This notice also corrects the legal land description and acreage figure (from 1,265 acres to 1,285 acres) stated in PLO No. 7533.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PLO No. 7533 withdrew 1,265 acres of 
National Forest System lands in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest 
from location and entry under the United States mining laws for a 
period of 20 years to protect the Holden Mine Reclamation Site, where 
the USFS has remediated for release of hazardous substances under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 
including undertaking infrastructure improvements and capital 
investments in Chelan County, Washington. This notice advises the 
public of an opportunity to comment on the USFS application for the 
extension of the existing withdrawal for an additional 20 years and to 
request a public meeting. This notice also corrects the legal land 
description and acreage figure (from 1,265 acres to 1,285 acres) stated 
in PLO No. 7533. Unless extended, the withdrawal established by PLO 
7553 will expire on August 5, 2022.
    The legal land description and acreage figure written in PLO No. 
7533 is revised to reflect the BLM Cadastral Survey's Specification for 
Descriptions of Land. The revised land description does not change the 
footprint of the lands withdrawn which is as follows:

Willamette Meridian

    Sec. 8, S\1/2\NE\1/4\, S\1/2\NW\1/4\, and S\1/2\;

    Protraction Block 37.

    The area described contains 1,285 acres, according to the official 
protraction diagrams of said land on file with the BLM.
    The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative 
agreement would not constrain nondiscretionary uses or protect the 
capital investments made. There are no suitable alternative sites since 
the lands described in PLO No. 7533 identify the area as an ongoing 
reclamation project tied to the location of former mining activities.
    No water rights will be needed to fulfill the purpose of this 
requested withdrawal extension.
    Mining would be inconsistent with protecting the remediation work.
