This highway provides the only road connection between Interior Alaska and the North Slope. The BLM partially reconstructed Five Mile and Galbraith Lake campgrounds in 2013 and added additional amenities in 2017. The agency completed construction of Arctic Circle Campground in August 2021. The improvements provided at each of these campgrounds include designated campsites (with picnic tables, tent or trailer space, and fire rings), picnic areas, parking, roadways and trails, and two new concrete restroom buildings. The campgrounds currently maintain accessible toilet facilities, fire rings, and bear-proof refuse containers. These facilities qualify as sites where visitors can be charged an ‘‘Expanded Amenity Recreation Fee’’ under section 3(g) of the FLREA, 16 U.S.C. 6801 et seq. Pursuant to FLREA and implementing regulations at 43 CFR 2933, fees may be charged for overnight camping where specific amenities and services are provided. The BLM will post specific visitor fees at each campground. Fees must be paid at the self-service pay station located at the camping areas.

These fees are consistent with other established fee sites in the region, including other BLMadministered sites.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: On behalf of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and subject to valid existing rights, the Secretary of the Interior proposes to withdraw 2,365.89 acres of public lands in Maricopa County, Arizona, from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including location and entry under the United States mining laws, and from leasing under the mineral and geothermal leasing laws for up to 5 years while a land management evaluation (LME) is completed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM and the Department of the Air Force (USAF) are engaged in an evaluation of the Barry M. Goldwater Range expansion identified as the Gila Bend Addition, pending processing of the USAF’s application for withdrawal of DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 public land for defense purposes under the Engle Act (85 FR 21876, April 20, 2020). The BLM has filed a petition/ application requesting the Secretary of the Interior withdraw the following described public lands from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including location and entry under the United States mining laws, and from leasing under the mineral and geothermal leasing laws for up to 5 years, subject to valid existing rights. The BLM’s application does not request reservation of the lands for the USAF for defense purposes. This notice invites members of the public, Federal, State, local and Tribal governments, and other stakeholders to provide the BLM with information relevant to address potential impacts to existing multiple uses and resources from such short-term withdrawal, including but not limited to impacts to mineral and geothermal resources.

This petition/application has been approved for publication by the Deputy Secretary of the Interior and therefore constitutes a withdrawal proposal of the Secretary of the Interior (43 CFR 2310.1–3(e)). The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative agreement would not adequately constrain nondiscretionary uses that may result in disturbance of the lands embraced within the Gila Bend Addition. No additional water rights will fulfill the purpose of this new withdrawal. There are no suitable alternative sites since these lands are identical to the USAF’s BMGR Gila Bend Addition expansion application lands. 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 in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
