ADDRESSES: All comments should be
sent to the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) Montana State Office, Attn:
MT924, 5001 Southgate Drive, Billings,
MT 59102; or sent by email to dsorg@
blm.gov. The BLM will not consider
comments via telephone calls.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Debby Sorg, Land Law Examiner, BLM
Montana State Office, telephone: (406)
896–5045, email: dsorg@blm.gov; or you
may contact the BLM office at the
address noted earlier. Individuals in the
United States who are deaf, deafblind,
hard of hearing, or have a speech
disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
applicant is the FWS, and its petition/
application requests the Secretary of the
Interior withdraw the following
described public land from all forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws, including location and entry
under the United States mining laws,
subject to valid existing rights, but not
from leasing under the mineral and
geothermal leasing laws; transfer
administrative jurisdiction to FWS; and
reserve the land for management of a
waterfowl production area for a 100year term.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Fifth Principal Meridian, North Dakota
T. 163 N., R. 65 W.,
Sec. 5, lot 3.
The area described contains 13.50 acres.
The Secretary of the Interior approved
the FWS’s petition. Therefore, the
petition/application constitutes a
withdrawal proposal of the Secretary of
the Interior (43 CFR 2310.1–3(e)).
The use of a rights-of-way,
interagency agreement, or cooperative
agreement would not provide adequate
protection of the waterfowl production
area.
No additional water rights will be
needed to fulfill the purpose of this new
withdrawal.
There are no suitable alternative sites
since these lands are located within the
Dash Lake Waterfowl Production Area.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
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.
Notice is hereby given that an
opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the
proposed withdrawal. All interested
persons who desire a public meeting for
the purpose of being heard on the
proposed withdrawal must submit a
written request to the BLM Montana/
Dakotas State Director no later than June
15, 2022. If the authorized officer
determines that a public meeting will be
held, a notice of the time and place will
be published in the Federal Register
and a local newspaper at least 30 days
before the scheduled date of the
meeting.
For a period until March 18, 2024, the
public land described earlier will be
segregated from all forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws, including location and entry
under the United States mining laws,
subject to valid existing rights, but not
from leasing under the mineral and
geothermal leasing laws, unless the
application is denied or canceled, or the
withdrawal is approved prior to that
date. The BLM and the FWS are
preparing an environmental assessment
and anticipate reaching a finding of no
significant impact. Information
regarding the proposed withdrawal,
including environmental and other
reviews will be available at the Montana
State Office and on BLM’s ePlanning
site at https://eplanning.blm.gov/
eplanning-ui/project/2017980/510.
This application will be processed in
accordance with the regulations set
forth in 43 CFR part 2300.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2022 / Notices
Trinity National Forest professional staff
in consultation with representatives of
the Redding Rancheria, California.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1964, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from a cave in Shasta County,
CA. The artifacts were discovered in
back dirt that had been excavated from
a trench in 1904. The human remains
were stored at an unknown location
until 2015, at which time they were
returned to the Forest Service by
California State University-Sacramento
(CSUS) in a bag labeled ‘‘CA–SHA–48,
Cave, 81–CSUS–121.02.’’ In 2016, the
Forest Service archeologist was notified
that the human remains were under
Forest Service control. The human
remains are currently located at the
University of California-Davis. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Collection records indicate that site
CA–SHA–49 was occupied primarily
between 1,700 and 2,000 years ago, as
evidenced by three radiocarbon dates
obtained in 1974 (this radiocarbon
dating was not determined from an
analysis of human remains).
